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 M Plaza centre house holds both the Nagareha Onsen Neutrino natural hot spring and a restaurant with a view. Outside the snow season, the base turns into an auto campground. Sources: hida-nagareha.com (sources read 13 Oct 2026; an AI draft the site operator has not yet checked)
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hida Kawai Ski Resort | 17.0 km | 345 cm | 292 |
| Hida Takayama Municipal Ski Resort | 26.0 km | 354 cm | 277 |
| Honokidaira Ski Area | 28.0 km | 354 cm | 277 |
| Mont Deus Hida-kuraiyama Snow Park | 29.0 km | 150 cm | 1665 |

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.
Only 42% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. The most common direction is south (49%).

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 January. March brings 48% of January’s snowfall.
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 258 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2019/20 with 185 cm; the biggest was 2014/15 with 426 cm (2.3 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.

These are analyses of hot spring sources, not a list of baths you can visit. They date from 1910 to 2005, many from decades ago, so today’s temperature and chemistry may differ. Names are as recorded in Japanese. Temperature and pH bands follow Japan’s standard for analysing hot springs.

When Is There Snow at Japan's Hot Spring Towns?If you want to sit in an outdoor bath with snow on the ground, the question is when, not just where. We worked out snow depth at 14 Japanese hot spring towns over the last three winters from weather-model data: when it arrives, when it goes, and how many days it is actually deep.
