Hoods Snow Area
The only two luge stadiums in Japan. Experience the world of the 90 km/h speed
The "Fujino Outdoor Sports Exchange Facility Hoods" has a vast area of about 330,000 square meters. It is a hands-on, year-round facility, and in winter it becomes "Hoods Snow Area," a ski area with six courses. With a family course and a mogul-only slope, this is a ski area with a maximum length of 1.8 km and a maximum slope of 38 degrees that can be enjoyed by everyone from beginners to advanced skiers.
The luge field was set up as a training course for the Sapporo Olympics held in 1972. This is the only luge training course in Japan, located only in Nagano Prefecture and in Hoods. Anyone can participate in a luge experience class held in January and February. The speed is 25 to 30 km/h, but you will feel twice or three times faster (for a fee).
