Ashikuraji

Tateyama Town, Toyama Prefecture

芦峅寺スキー場　富山県立山町

Ashikuraji was a ski area located in Tateyama Town in the eastern region of Toyama Prefecture. It was about 20km from central Toyama City and just off the Prefecture Road 6. That road continues on into the Tateyama mountains. Ashikuraji had one single lift and one pair lift and it closed in 2004. Since 2013 the base area has been used by a training facility for snowboarding and free style ski jumping outside of the winter season.
