History:
Naruko Sankakuyama was a complex of two ski jumping hills located on the slope of Mount Sankakuyama, above the town of Naruko Onsen in Miyagi Prefecture. The facility was built shortly after World War II, during a period of rapid development of the local Hanabuchiyama ski area. In the 1950s and 1960s it was one of the most important ski jumping sites in northern Japan. The earliest confirmed competition held there took place in 1956, and in 1963 the 70-metre hill hosted the ski jumping event of the National Winter Sports Festival (Kokutai), won by future Olympic champion Yukio Kasaya.
In the following decades Naruko became a regular venue for the All-Japan Student Championships held on the K80/K85 hill, and in 1984 – after the facility had been modernised – it hosted the national high school Inter-High Championships. The last major event was the Winter Kokutai in 1994, where Katsutoshi Chiba recorded the longest jump of the senior competition (88.5 m). In 1998, the smaller K50 hill was still used for the Japanese Junior High School Championships. In everyday use, the venue also served regional and school competitions, with units of the Japan Self-Defense Forces assisting in course preparation.
The hill ceased to be used for sport in the late 1990s, and in the first decade of the 21st century it began to fall into decay. The remaining structures were ultimately removed by 2014. Today, only a steep grassy slope within the grounds of the Naruko Country Club marks the site of the former ski jumping hill.
