How it rides
Makado Onsen sits just 2km from Noheji Bay in eastern Aomori, offering a low-key alternative to busier northern Honshu resorts. The terrain is split evenly between beginner and intermediate runs, with a fifth of the mountain reserved for advanced riders. The steepest pitch tops out at 30°, so expect mellow, manageable slopes rather than anything punchy.
The resort operates three pair chairlifts and a short carry lift in the base area, keeping things simple and straightforward. Hours run from 9am to 5pm in winter, with a 4pm close in shoulder months. A small sledding area sits by the lodge for younger riders, and lessons and rentals are available on-site.
Makado Onsen has been closed since late 2022 following structural damage from heavy rains and has not reopened. Before closure, it was a quiet, accessible option for riders seeking uncrowded runs and proximity to the coast, though it lacked the vertical or terrain variety of larger regional mountains.
