Goryu Ski Resort

With 3 different ski areas, including 1 gondola and 15 lifts, and well equipped base facilities (including a Subway), Goryu is a great resort for a variety of skill levels. Everyone has to ride the gondola to see the views but learners should come back down via the gondola because there are no green runs from the top although the Imori area is a great place for beginners to build their confidence. Goryu joins Hakuba 47 and the one pass can be used for both resorts.
