The steepest run, Heavenly46°, takes its name from its maximum pitch of 46 degrees. From the No. 3 car park, an escalator called Snow Warp carries skiers straight up to the slopes. Nagoya is about 50 minutes away by car. Sources: okuibuki.co.jp (sources read 13 Oct 2026; an AI draft the site operator has not yet checked)

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).

When it falls, and how winters differ

Is Western Japan Snowier Than It Looks? Our Model Against the Weather StationsWestern Japan's ski areas look thin in our data — a median of 125 cm against a national 249 cm. Against 16 Japan Meteorological Agency stations, the model we use returns 44% of what the ground records there. The region is far snowier than our own numbers say.
