My Recommendation
Suginohara has one of Japan's longest runs at 8.5km — and it's mellow enough that intermediate riders can enjoy the whole thing. The views of Lake Nojiri from up top are stunning. Currently no big hotels nearby so you'll need a car, but kids up to elementary school age ride the lifts for free, which is a nice bonus for families.
