About Tazawako
Tazawako sits above Lake Tazawa in Akita Prefecture - Japan's deepest lake, ringed by steep Tohoku peaks. The ski area itself is modest: 13 trails and 6 lifts serving a 1,995-foot vertical, with a terrain park for riders who want laps instead of lake views. It's part of the Indy Pass roster, an easy add-on for anyone routing through Akita's onsen towns. Less trafficked than the big Niseko-area resorts, it rewards travelers willing to go a little further north.
