Check free child lift access before buying a family ticket bundle

Open tip ↗

Prince Snow Resorts lists free lift access through elementary-school age at Naeba and Kagura. Confirm how the resort applies that school-age category to your child before buying a bundle. Kagura’s detailed ticket page instructs families to collect a dedicated free child ticket at the ticket office, so do not assume children can go straight through the gates. That detailed page still shows 2025/26 dates at our September review: recheck the new winter’s issue process and coverage before travel. Compare the remaining adult tickets and budget rentals, lessons, lodging and transport separately; the lift benefit does not make the whole family trip free.
