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 →
From spring to autumn this is the Mont Deus Hida Kuraiyama roadside station; only in winter does it turn into a ski area. Since December 2023 the second floor of the centre house has held a branch of the city library, alongside an indoor play area with inflatables and trampolines. Sources: montdeus.jp, city.takayama.lg.jp, gifu-np.co.jp (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.

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.
96% 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 January. March brings 55% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in Japan (52%). In amount, March brings 27 cm, less than the median of 46 cm.
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 150 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 101 cm; the biggest was 2014/15 with 262 cm (2.6 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.

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.
