The mountain
筍山 (Takenoko-yama) 1,790 m
- Landform
- The lifts top out on the summit of Takenoko-yama. Naeba-san, the mountain the resort took its name from, is 9 km away across the Kiyotsu river.
- Rock
- The body of the hill is Miocene quartz diorite and quartz porphyry, intrusive rock that set underground and was pushed up later. Near the summit it is capped by older dacitic lava from the Quaternary Naeba volcano. Most of what you ride has hard rock under it.
