No. Not all vehicles are suitable for the snow. We recommended not using the following vehicles when visiting the snow:

• Vehicles that are lowered with low gap between the tyre and vehicle body that cannot fit chains
• Small low engine capacity cars like Japanese kei trucks due to the steep entry road
• Vehicles that have tyres larger than a standard 4WD all-terrain tyre should ensure they have chains in advance
• Vehicles that are low on fuel or battery power as there are no refueling points at the Resort
• Vehicles with trailers cannot travel in the snow

No, sorry. Motorbikes are not permitted during declared snow season – as they cannot fit wheel chains which are a legal requirement. You can, however, visit in summer which is popular for bikes.
