Snow in Hiroshima
The Seto Inland Sea side stays mostly sunny in winter. The snow falls in the Chugoku Mountains to the north, especially in the uplands of the west. The ski areas split into two groups: Kitahiroshima and Akiota in the northwest, and Shobara in the northeast. On winter weekends ski buses run from Hiroshima city to the northwest and from Fukuyama to Shobara. Dogoyama Kogen in Shobara is where skiing in Hiroshima began.

Snowfall is the 12-winter average from the ERA5 reanalysis, and the model runs low on mountain snow, by different amounts in different regions (the regional map on the Japan page adds that difference back; the figures on this page do not). Read the ranks and the comparisons rather than the centimetres. The month-by-month pattern uses the last 12 winters; rain days, snow-day temperature and 5 cm days use the last three. How we measure
