Kagura is one of the best kept secret in the Japanese ski world. It offers a wide variety of terrain and its huge annual snow fall makes it one of the safest bets when it comes to finding powder. If it hasn't snowed for a few days, you can easily venture into the side country to find the hidden patches. While it is not a super steep hill, the variety of terrain makes up for it as you never get bored exploring its vast directly accessible or hikable area. It's connection to Tashiro and Naeba, via one of the longest gondola in the world, broadens the possibilities even further. It's really hard to get bored at Kagura.
