Shinhotaka Onsen

Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture

新穂高温泉キー場　岐阜県高山市

Shinhotaka Onsen was a ski area located in the Nakao Onsen area of Takayama City in the northeastern region of Gifu Prefecture. Two lifts serviced the slopes. Shinhotaka Onsen closed in the early 2000s, and the ski lifts were removed soon after. This area is not to be confused with the nearby Shinhotaka Ropeway.

  • Other than that, no further information can be confirmed about this ski area
