Snow conditions are excellent and skiing, snowboarding are possible from the early December through to late April.
Snowshoeing, sledding,
igloo, dive in to the snow...
If you just want to know what is snow, snowshoeing or sledding is the best activities. You can start these activities from the guesthouse.

Sakura trees bloom from middle April to early May in this region. Try to come in April to enjoy both Sakura watching and snow.

SPRING TIME (APRIL and MAY)
Mid of April through early May will be the best season to enjoy watching Sakura cherry blossoms in our area. In addition, two ski resorts in Urabandai (Grandeco and Nekoma) still opening their ski hills until early May that you can enjoy both Sakura and snow at once in April.
We recommend these places,
Tsurugajo castle (Aizuwakamatsu city, 60 mins by car) :
10-20th April will be the best for Sakura watching. Light up event in the night as well.
Kannonji river (Inawashiro town, 30 mins by car) :
15-25th April will be the best season. Light up event in the night.
Sakura pass (Urabandai, 20 mins by car) :
25th April -5th May will be the best.
４月中旬から5月上旬はこのエリアで桜を楽しむベストな季節です。付け加えて、ふたつのスキーリゾート（グランデコと猫魔）が５月上旬までスキー場営業を続けているので、桜と雪が同時に楽しめます。
これらの場所をお勧めします。
鶴ヶ城 （会津若松市、車で60分）：
4月10日～20日が桜の見ごろ。夜にはライトアップも。
観音寺川 （猪苗代町、車で30分）：
4月15日～25日が桜の見ごろ。夜にはライトアップも。
桜峠 (裏磐梯、車で20分）
4月25日～5月5日が桜の見ごろ。
