Set beside National Route 352, the slope divides into two runs, left and right, and is laid out for advanced skiers. Racers can book gates for individual pole training, and the hill hosts ski races. In summer it becomes the venue for the village's Midsummer Snow Festival, where visitors sled on real snow.

What was actually measured nearby
Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 桧枝岐 weather station — 3.2 km from this ski area, 25 m below its mid-slope.
| Three-season average | 770 cm |
| 2023/24 | 717 cm |
| 2024/25 | 961 cm |
| 2025/26 | 631 cm |
The figure calculated on this page is 459 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.

Japan for Beginners: Half Its Pisted Kilometres Are Graded Easy, Twice the US ShareHalf of Japan's pisted kilometres are graded easy or novice — against 25% in the United States and 28% in Canada. And 255 of Japan's 397 ski areas have a natural hot-spring source within 5 km. Here are the numbers, the caveat about grading, and the resorts where a first-timer gets the most of both.
