Kenmin no Mori Ski Area is a ski area in Hiroshima, Japan. The terrain spans roughly 845–1102 m above sea level. The mapped ski area covers about 1.1 km². There is no settled snow at the moment — the season has not started here yet. Over the last three winters the ERA5 reanalysis gives it 134 cm of snowfall a season, 1759th (tied) of the 3,112 ski areas we measure worldwide. The model runs well below what resorts report, so the ranking is the meaningful part rather than the centimetre figure. 1 official live camera is linked below. 19 other ski areas lie within 120 km. Snow figures and the Powder Score are recalculated every day.
Elevation range is estimated by sampling points across the ski area.

How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,112 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
The tick marks the median across the 395 Japanese ski areas. All four bars run the same way — longer is better.
The quality score deliberately excludes how much snow falls — it uses temperature, frequency, rain and wind. Snowing a lot and snowing well are different things.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. Ski areas a few kilometres apart share a weather grid cell and can return the same figure.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snow Resort Nekoyama | 13 km | 122 cm | 1902 |
| Dogoyama-Kougen Ski Resort | 13 km | 122 cm | 1902 |
| Kotobiki Forest Park Ski Area | 27 km | 155 cm | 1512 |
| Ibukinosato Ski Area | 33 km | 129 cm | 1815 |
When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 40% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Japan (51%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 16 cm, less than the median of 45 cm.
