Rescue protocol
Inside the ski area, report the accident to patrol or staff (patrol is marked at Central Plaza 1130) and follow their instructions. The resort's 2025 safety report names two nearby emergency services it coordinates with in an emergency: the Omachi fire station and Omachi General Hospital. If anyone may be seriously hurt, call 119. The resort publishes no further on-mountain rescue procedure.
As of 2026-10-05
Backcountry policy
Backcountry access is not possible from this resort. The Hakuba Valley safety notice names Kashimayari among the resorts with no backcountry gate, from which you cannot go out into the backcountry. The resort's 2025 safety report says it cannot take responsibility for skiing outside its managed area. The field map draws the ski-area boundary and marks closed areas inside it.

Nearest emergency hospital
Omachi General Hospital, in central Omachi, is the emergency hospital the resort itself names: its 2025 safety report lists the hospital and the Omachi fire station as the nearby emergency services it coordinates with. The hospital runs an emergency outpatient service outside normal hours, weeknights 17:15–08:30 and holidays 08:30–17:15, and asks patients to phone before coming; it has CT and MRI and English support. Further south in Ikeda, North Alps Medical Center Azumi Hospital is also emergency-designated and asks that any visit outside outpatient hours be arranged by phone first. Outpatient departments at both close on Sundays and national holidays. In an emergency, call 119.

Cost, insurance and medicines
Japan's National Health Insurance does not cover tourists — hospitals bill the full cost and generally expect payment upfront by cash or card. Ordinary travel insurance often excludes off-piste and backcountry rescue; dedicated mountain-rescue insurance exists, so check your policy before you ride.
Reviewed 2026-07-21
Some common medicines are restricted in Japan — e.g. codeine-containing products, pseudoephedrine above set limits, and ADHD stimulants — and may require advance permission to bring in. Check the MHLW guidance before you travel.
