The birthplace of skiing in Japan where Major Theodor Edler von Lerch, a soldier in the Austro-Hungarian empire, instructed the first skiers in Japan in 1911. People from beginners to advanced can enjoy skiing here because of abundant gentle and steep slopes even though the area size is small. The Lerch Festival is held in early February every year.
