Odate Gurumi Onsen-kyo
大館ぐるみ温泉郷 · Akita
Odate Gurumi Onsen-kyo (大館ぐるみ温泉郷) is a nationally designated onsen town in Akita. We measured how much snow its winters bring, using the same method as for the 3,108 ski areas on this site.
Snowfall in winter
| Per season | 177 cm |
| Rank | 26 of 77 ranked onsen |
| Within prefecture | 3 of 3 in Akita |
| Against the median of 77 | +58 cm median 119 cm |
| Season to season | 100 cm 121–221 cm across three winters |
This designation covers the whole of 大館市 rather than a single spa town (矢立・大滝など市内の温泉群の総称), so the snowfall is measured at the centre of the municipality.

"Find a place to stay" searches Rakuten Travel and contains advertising; we may earn a commission on bookings made through it. The snowfall figures and ranking are calculated independently of that.
We do not link to an official site. We have not verified URLs for all 79 towns, and guessing would send you somewhere wrong. They will be added once checked.

About these snowfall figures
The snowfall shown here is an estimate produced by a weather model, not a record of what actually fell.
We compared it against 63 Japan Meteorological Agency weather stations to see how far off it is. On average it comes to about six tenths of the real figure — it runs low. And it runs low by different amounts in different places: some read barely a third of what was measured, others match almost exactly. Mountains tend to read lowest.
We tried scaling everything up by a fixed amount to correct for it. It barely helped, because the error differs from place to place.
So treat these numbers as a guide to roughly where somewhere sits, not a precise figure. There is no meaning in the gap between first and second, or between 30th and 35th. Large differences between regions are real and can be read as they are.
We are working on replacing these estimates with observed values.
