Tsubetsu was a ski area located to the south-east of central Tsubetsu Town and Kitami City in the eastern region of Hokkaido. It featured a nearly 3km long gondola as well as two pair lifts, with fine views of Lake Kussharo from the top. Tsubetsu opened in 1991 and closed in March 2007. After closing the lifts and facilities were removed and the mountain was returned to nature.
