[2025 Gujo ] Travel Guide for DynaLand (Updated May)

The crepe I ate quickly had a chewy texture and was delicious.

Takasu and Dynaland are neighbors, forming the largest integrated ski area in western Japan. They have the same mountaintop, but have developed different slopes. The official websites of the two ski resorts are interconnected, and both recommend joint tickets for the two ski resorts. The blogger was lucky enough to go skiing at both ski resorts during the Spring Festival this year. Let's make a simple comparison and talk about the experience: 1. Snow trail conditions 1. Number of ski slopes Takashige Ski Resort has 32 ski slopes with a total skiing distance of 43 kilometers; Dynaland Ski Resort has 20 ski slopes, with the longest ski run reaching 4,800 meters. 2. Number of primary courses Beginner Course (30%) at Takashige Ski Resort: mainly gentle slopes, recommended are Beginner Course (3,100 meters) and Panorama Course, suitable for beginners and family tourists; Dynaland Ski Resort has beginner slopes (40%), including the "Panoramic Snow Slope" (3,100 meters) with a gentle slope, suitable for beginners to practice; there is also the "Baboon Parent-Child Park" designed specifically for children, equipped with magic carpets and snow game facilities. 3. Special ski slopes Takasu Ski Resort: Halfpipe track: divided into beginner (3.5 meters high) and advanced (6.5 meters high), it was once the competition venue of the Japan Snowboard Association. Park prop area: Contains more than 30 facilities such as iron bars, diving platforms, wave tracks, etc., suitable for freestyle players. Small forest wild snow area: connected to the snow trail, with a higher safety factor, suitable for beginners to experience wild snow. Dynaland Ski Resort: Half-pipe pool (Japanese Olympic athletes training venue) From the "SORA terrace" on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the sea of ​​clouds and the sunset, and enjoy the view of the Northern Alps while gliding. 2. Cable Car and Ticket Prices 1. Cable Car: Takashige Ski Resort: There are 12 cable cars, including a 15-seater high-speed cable car, covering long-distance ski trails from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. Dynaland: 5 high-speed cable cars, including a 15-passenger panoramic cable car, which takes 8 minutes to reach the top of the mountain at an altitude of 1,550 meters. 2. Ticket price: One-day adult ticket for both ski resorts: approximately 5,900 yen (weekends and holidays) / 4,900 yen (weekdays), child ticket (4 years old - elementary school students): 2,400 yen. One-day ticket for a single ski resort: 4,900 yen for adults, 2,100 yen for children (4-12 years old); Dynaland Ski Resort has a special half-price ticket on Wednesdays, which the blogger happened to enjoy. It is only valid at Dynaland Ski Resort. 3. Coaching Services There are ski schools for both snowboard and ski slopes. Gaojiu's group (4 people) price: half day 18,000, full day 25,000, with two coaches Dynaland group price: 5000/1.5 hours/per person, with one instructor The price for private one-on-one sessions is more expensive and is subject to the price at the ski resort. General group classes can only be taught in Japanese. If English service is required, each group will have to pay an additional 5,000-10,000. Based on the blogger's experience with three ski school coaching teams at two ski resorts, the common points are: all male coaches are over 60 years old and their skills are very good. The difference is: the service attitude of the teachers at the ski schools in Dynaland and Takasu Hall is the best, while the service of a ski school outside Takasu Hall is really not satisfactory. The person in charge first used the reason of insufficient number of coaches to send only one coach in the dual-coach team course, but immediately sent another coach to take the one-on-one high-priced lessons; and also imposed foreign language service fees on the grounds that the blogger was a foreigner, but the actual coach did not speak English, and what's more, skiing lessons can be understood just by watching the movements. This is just my opinion, you can compare it yourself. 4. Transportation Guide 1. Self-driving: From Nagoya, take the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway to Takasu IC, which is about an hour’s drive away. Parking lot: 1,000 yen/day for ordinary cars, 2,000 yen for large buses. 2. Public transportation: Bus: There are tourist buses that go directly to ski resorts from Nagoya, Osaka and other places. JR+Shuttle Bus: Take the JR to Gujo Hachiman Station and then take the shuttle bus (approximately 30 minutes). 5. Surrounding facilities and tips 1. There are hot spring facilities near the ski resort, and there are related recommendation brochures in the ski hall. For example, "Gujo Hachiman Onsen" or "Gero Onsen" 2. The food court in the ski hall offers local specialties such as ramen and Hida beef. I ate there for four days without repeating the same dishes. 3. "TAKASU BEACH CAFÉ" at the top of the snow resort offers Mediterranean-style meals, and the "Ice Beach Cake" is a must-try. 4. Pay attention to the nighttime light show at the ski resort. The U-shaped pool at the ski resort is also a popular check-in spot for photography enthusiasts.

Dynaland is a large ski resort with wide ski slopes for people to enjoy.
