Mt. Rokko Snow Park proudly marked its 60th anniversary this season. It is the closest facility that exclusively offers various fun winter-related activities in the Kobe area. The Snow Park is conveniently situated only about 35 minutes away from downtown Kobe by car．
Commemorating its 60th anniversary, a variety of events with the tagline “ROKKO ATSU-TSU-TSU…” have been taking place. Atsu(i) in Japanese has multiple meanings and one of them is “a rare chance”. Don’t forget this rare chance to enjoy hot and fun winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, etc.
Let’s play in the snow with your family members or friends here at Mt. Rokko Snow Park.

*The second slope is currently available only from the half of the slope. The ski lift will run depending on the snow condition.
Right after the opening time, the slopes are not crowded.
If you are a beginner and would like to practice without worrying about other guests, reaching the slope right after the opening time would be a sensible option.
Why not make a memorable moment with family members.
Make sure to secure a leash to your leg when snowboarding.
