No snow yet. Not open yet for 2026/27. We have not yet found an official opening date. Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear once snow is on the ground or forecast.
A weather-model figure, worked out the same way for every ski area, and lower than what actually falls. Use it to compare ski areas, not against the resort’s own totals. How we measure →
The Kogurogawa Smart Interchange on the Chuo Expressway is only about eight minutes away by car. Most of the terrain is gentle. Once the floodlights come on for night skiing, the lights of Ina city spread out below the hill as a night view.

Modelled from weather data the same way at all 3,069 ski areas we cover. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
The tick marks the median across every Japanese ski area we measure. All four bars run the same way — longer is better.
The quality score leaves out how much snow falls (it uses temperature, frequency, rain and wind).
Within 50 km in a straight line. Ski areas in the same weather-model cell (about 30 km across) get the same figure.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Komagane Ski Resort | 8.8 km | 122 cm | 2067 |
| Yabuhara Kogen | 23.0 km | 182 cm | 1298 |
| Kisofukushima Ski Resort | 26.0 km | 231 cm | 865 |
| Fujimi Panorama Resort | 28.0 km | 134 cm | 1892 |
| Shinshu-Matsumoto Nomugitoge Ski Resort | 31.0 km | 318 cm | 408 |

Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
97% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

Source: OpenSkiMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0). How finely ski areas are drawn varies by region, so treat the counts as indicative. Vertical is the difference between the highest and lowest points of the mapped runs and lifts.
The most snow falls in March. March brings as much as January, or more. In amount, March brings 31 cm, less than the median of 46 cm.
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 106 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2025/26 with 53 cm; the biggest was 2014/15 with 222 cm (4.2 times as much). For 63% of the 397 ski areas in Japan the leanest winter was 2015/16; here it was a different one.
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
