History:
The Takinosawa ski jumping hill in Ōwani (Aomori Prefecture) is a facility with almost a century of history, located on the slopes of Mount Ajara within the Ōwani Onsen Ski Resort. The present-day hill has a size of HS 100 (K90) and is used only in winter. A chairlift shared with the alpine ski runs leads to the inrun, while judge towers and competition facilities are located at the base. The origins of the hill date back to the mid-1920s, when in 1925 the first known national-level competition was held at Takinosawa and Kaoru Aoyama set the first documented hill record of 18.3 m.
In the interwar period the hill became an important venue for ski jumping in Japan and regularly hosted national championships, including in 1925, 1930, 1934, and 1942. Subsequent enlargements allowed distances exceeding 60 metres to be reached already by the 1930s. After World War II the hill quickly regained its importance: in 1951 it hosted the All-Japan Student Ski Championships, and in 1958 it underwent a major redevelopment to bring its profile to K90 standard.
One year later, Koichi Satō set a new record of 83 m, marking the beginning of a new era. The 1960s and 1970s were the period of the greatest sporting activity at Takinosawa. The Japanese championships were held here on both the K-90 hill and the neighbouring K-70 hill. In 1964, future Olympic champion Yukio Kasaya won here with a jump of 99 m, and in the following years Hiroshi Itagaki and Takashi Fujisawa achieved the 100-metre mark. On the smaller K-70 hill, Akihiro Higashi won in 1988 with a record of 88.5 m, which became the last known historic result on that hill.
The complex also included two smaller hills, („Memorial”) K40 and K20 (“Ajara Small”), the latter equipped with plastic covering for summer use; both are no longer operational today, with only remains still visible.
In 1983 the main hill was reprofiled again according to FIS standards, and before the 2003 Asian Winter Games it underwent another modernization, including upgrades to the inrun, landing slope and judging infrastructure. During those Games, Takinosawa hosted the men’s individual and team competitions. The individual event was won by Kazuyoshi Funaki, who also set a new hill record of 98 m, while the South Korean team claimed victory in the team event. In 2015 the facility was modernized once more under a national sports development program, resulting in further improvements to the hill profile and technical infrastructure. In the following years new records were set: in 2017 Hisaki Nagamine reached 101.0 m, the current men’s hill record, while the women’s record of 93.5 m was set by Nozomi Maruyama in 2015. The hill continues to appear in the calendar of Japanese youth and student competitions, although the smaller hills of the complex remain unused.
