About the Resort
Tateyama Sanroku is a ski resort at the foot of the Tateyama mountains in Toyama, and one of the largest ski areas in the Hokuriku region. It is made up of two linked areas, Gokurakuzaka and Raicho Valley, which sit next to each other and connect at the top of the mountain. A shared "Tateyama Sanroku" pass also covers the neighbouring Awasuno resort, giving access to three ski areas on one ticket. From the upper slopes there are wide views over the Toyama plain, Toyama Bay, and on clear days the distant Noto Peninsula.
The terrain suits a wide range of skiers. The base has broad, gentle slopes for beginners and families, while the upper mountain has more varied middle and steeper runs that confident skiers enjoy. The top elevation is about 1,188 metres. After heavy snowfall the area gets good powder, and it has hosted national competition courses for slalom and moguls. There is a kids park with a moving carpet and play equipment, an on-site hot spring (Tateyama Sanroku Onsen), and mountain restaurants known for hearty miso pork soup and beef curry.
The resort is close to Tateyama Station, the Toyama-side gateway to the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. A ski bus runs from Tateyama Station to the resort on operating days during the season. Night skiing is offered on weekends and holidays. With its size, its three-resort shared pass, its family slopes, and its hot spring, Tateyama Sanroku works well as a base for a Toyama-side ski trip.

One of Hokuriku's largest ski areas
Two linked areas plus a three-resort pass
Tateyama Sanroku is made up of two linked areas, Gokurakuzaka and Raicho Valley, which connect at the top of the mountain.

From the upper slopes there are wide views over the Toyama plain and Toyama Bay, and on clear days the distant Noto Peninsula. The setting at the foot of the Tateyama mountains is dramatic. After heavy snowfall the area also gets good powder, and it has hosted national slalom and mogul competition courses.

A kids park, gentle runs, and onsen at the base
The base has broad, gentle slopes for beginners and families, and a kids park with a moving carpet and play equipment. There is an on-site hot spring, Tateyama Sanroku Onsen, and mountain restaurants known for hearty miso pork soup and beef curry.
