Formerly known as Kokkyo Kogen Snow Park, the area runs right up to Route 161 where the road crosses the Shiga-Fukui border. The car park sits beside the road, and the snow starts a few steps from it.

When it falls, and how winters differ

What was actually measured nearby
Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 柳ケ瀬 weather station — 10.3 km from this ski area, 337 m below its mid-slope.
| Three-season average | 326 cm |
| 2023/24 | 242 cm |
| 2024/25 | 439 cm |
| 2025/26 | 297 cm |
The figure calculated on this page is 151 cm.
A weather station is not a ski slope. We picked one at a similar elevation, but it stands in a valley or a village. More snow falls on the mountain above it. We have not tried to guess how much more.

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.
