For powder-focused skiers who are happy with a small, old-style hill and a short lift network.
Seki Onsen has two lifts and four named slopes. Ginsen is ungroomed and reaches 45°; Lerch and Skyline are the groomed intermediate and easy options, and the Main slope has a jib park.
There are only two lifts, Kannasan No. 1 and No. 3, so the map is quick to read. Note that single-ride tickets cover the No. 1 lift only, and the dotted powder and backcountry zones are outside the marked runs.

Getting there
Take the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Joetsumyoko, the Echigo Tokimeki Railway to Sekiyama, then the Seki–Tsubame Onsen city bus. The bus runs about seven times a day, so plan around its timetable.
