#skitrip Tanigawadake Tenjindaira is a great destination for those who love deep powder and scenic mountain landscapes. Located in Gunma, it receives heavy snowfall, making it a paradise for off-piste and backcountry enthusiasts. The resort has a few groomed runs for beginners and intermediates, but advanced skiers and snowboarders will appreciate its untouched terrain. The ropeway ride to the top offers breathtaking views, especially in winter. Facilities are minimal, with limited restaurants and rental services, so planning ahead is essential. While not as commercialized as larger resorts, its natural beauty, quiet atmosphere, and excellent snow conditions make it a must-visit.

An extraordinary space led by 486 steps! History and the mysteries of nature encountered underground Doai Station is an unmanned station on the JR Joetsu Line located in Minakami-machi, Tone-gun, Gunma Prefecture, and is known as the "number one mole station in Japan" due to its unique structure. 📍Doai Station 🗺️218-2 Yubiso, Minakami-machi, Tone-gun, Gunma Prefecture 🚉JR Joetsu Line local trains stop here, but the number of trains per day is limited, so we recommend checking the timetable in advance. ⭐️Underground platform The platform for the outbound line (towards Niigata) is located in the Shin-Shimizu Tunnel, about 82 meters underground, and it takes about 10 minutes to descend 486 steps from the station building on the ground. Iki Encyclopedia ⭐️Upbound platform On the other hand, the platform for the upbound line (towards Takasaki) is above ground, and you can use it while looking at the surrounding nature. 📕History When the Joetsu Line opened in 1931, Doai Station was established as a single-track above-ground station. Later, with the double-tracking of the line in 1967, a down line was installed in the newly excavated Shin-Shimizu Tunnel, and an underground platform was created. ⭐️Doai Station is a popular spot for railway fans and tourists due to its unique structure. In particular, the long staircase leading to the underground platform is worth seeing, but it is physically demanding, so you need to be well prepared and careful when visiting. ⭐️When planning a visit, we recommend that you prepare the necessary food and drink in advance and allow plenty of time as there are few shops and restaurants in the area. #FritabiWinter #0yenTrip

Took my first ever ski trip and couldn’t be happier to get on my first snowboarding experience at the Hodaigi ski area. An all inclusive trip started at a meet up point in Shinjuku at midnight before embarking on a six hour overnight bus ride to the Hodaigi ski area. Just as the dawn was breaking we arrived and it was just beautiful to be greeted with heavy snowfall and later the sky clears making it perfect for snowboarding.To add to the fun there was occasional snowfall throughout the day and it just couldn’t be more magical. Overall it was great first experience and i am looking forward to more snowboarding trip’s hopefully in Hokkaido in 2024 #2024wish #bucketlistchecked

Mount Tanigawa is a cuffed mountain straddling Gunma and Niigata prefectures. The Tanigawa Ropeway is a beautiful cable car ride that takes passengers up to Mount Tanigawa, which is known as the “Roof of Gunma”. The ride is especially popular in the autumn season when the leaves begin to change colour, creating. a breathing sight. Drove from Tokyo to Gunma takes about 3 hours. Do travel there early to avoid traffic and crowd. #tokyo #autumn #driving #mountain #gunma #minakami #ropeway
