About 8Peaks Resort

A fresh layer of powder every single day – guaranteed

In the land of the Rising Sun, Japan’s west coast is ironically shrouded in heavy snow storms throughout winter…

Yet further inland towards Tokyo,
8 Peaks enjoys sunny blue skies almost for almost 80% of the season.


While it doesn’t snow often, more than 100 snow machines top up the ski runs with a fresh layer of powder every single day – guaranteed.

At 1500m altitude, the crisp, alpine air crystalises and maintains the snow in pristine, powder-dry condition.


8 Peaks is characterised by its picturesque alpine setting – Mt Fuji and the jagged mountain ranges of central Japan form the backdrop to the resorts, which are nestled amongst forests and glades, with crystal-clear Lake Shirakaba as its centrepiece.

50km Ski Runs & Six Resorts

Pilatus Tateshina is one Japan’s highest, most charismatic and wild resorts.

It’s just 15-minutes drive from Lake Shirakaba, but a day floating above, and gliding through, giant pine forests will leave you wondering which continent you’ve been transported to.

Pilatus Tateshina is one Japan’s highest, most charismatic and wild resorts.

It’s just 15-minutes drive from Lake Shirakaba, but a day floating above, and gliding through, giant pine forests will leave you wondering which continent you’ve been transported to.

Across the six resorts currently operating there are almost 50km of ski runs for you to explore, accessed by 20 chair lifts and two gondolas.

Ikenotaira Hotel

The stunning new $80 million Ikenotaira Hotel is the jewel in 8 Peaks’ crown.


After a day exploring the mountains, return to your hotel and replenish your energy with a selection of in-house restaurants.

End the day with a soothing onsen (hot spring) bath overlooking Lake Shirakaba and the ski resorts.


An activity centre complete with waterslide park, bowling alley and games arcade adjoins the hotel to keep the kids entertained off the slopes.
