Myoko has become more accessible recently now that they offer a shuttle from Nagano Station for 4400 yen return. This is a lovely hidden area and is not frequented like some of the other areas due to it being slightly harder to get to.

There is still a lot of really enjoyable skiing/ boarding to be done in this area and the snow is often very good. The slopes are best suited to beginner and intermediate skiers/boarders. The Onsens are very nice with Akakura Onsen overlooking the whole snow-blanked valley at a height of 780 meters above sea level.

Ski fields include Akakura Kankou Ski Resort, Akakura Onsen Ski Resort, Ikenotaira and Myoko Suginohara.
