In the area including Tengendai Kogen, Shirabu Onsen, and Shintakayu Onsen, we have started a regional revitalization project “Tengendai x Shirabu Onsen Reborn Project” using the government’s regional revitalization grant from 2020.

□Tengendai Update 2023 (2023.2.23-26)
The “Tengendai Update”, which was popular last season, will be held again in the 22-23 season. Plans to ski slopes with area ambassador Tadashi Fuse, and new model ski/snowboard test drive events planned to be held at the same time will create slopes suitable for test rides (creating bumps, securing fresh snow, etc.). We are planning an event that takes advantage of Honshu’s best powder snow slopes. In addition, not only during the event period, but also throughout the season, banks called “Yu no Bank” were created at several corners on the 3 km mountain course “Yunotaira Course”, which is popular with ski and snowboard enthusiasts. With area ambassador Tadashi Fuse as an advisor, we plan to develop various ideas for other courses, such as developing a field of play. (depending on snow conditions)

□ Healing in a hot spring with a rich atmosphere
◯ “Growing up”
Due to the heavy snowfall, the location and size of the kamakura change every year. Although it is difficult to create due to the lightness of the snow, local people work together to create it, and as the amount of snow increases, the size of the kamakura itself grows, so you can enjoy the changes.

◯Yukibonbori (held on weekends from January to March)
The snow lanterns, which each ryokan in Shirabu Onsen has created with their own ingenuity, create a warm atmosphere of the hot spring town on a quiet winter night.
In order to enjoy Shirabu Shintakayu in winter together with hot springs, it is recommended to stay overnight so that you can enjoy the rich food culture of Yamagata and Yonezawa at the same time. When you go out, each ryokan will lend you warm clothes and boots.

◯Day trip bath
After enjoying skiing or snowboarding, warming up in the hot springs and taking care of your body is the way regulars of Tengendai and Shirabu enjoy themselves.
Each ryokan, etc. has different capacity and reception hours, so please check the information of each facility for details and enjoy the full course in the area.
