No snow on the ground or falling right now. 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 →
This season so far (1 Nov to 9 Nov): 5 cm. The average for these dates is under 10 cm, so we do not give a percentage yet. The average is over twelve winters on the same weather model. Across Japan →
A compact mountain served only by pair lifts, Oze Tokura brings every run back to the front of the Oze Kogen Hotel. The Romance course has steep side walls like a natural half-pipe. Guided tours also lead riders to the snow outside the marked runs. Sources: ozetokura.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.
Only 13% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. The most common direction is west (64%).

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 60% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Japan (52%). In amount, March brings 50 cm, about the same as the median of 46 cm.
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 252 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 158 cm; the biggest was 2021/22 with 318 cm (2.0 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
