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.

From the summit, the view reaches all the way to Mount Ishizuchi and the Matsuyama plain. The ski area lies in Oda-miyama, in the hills of Uchiko town, and the park grounds next to the car park gather tubing and sledding runs together.

How much snow it gets
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).
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km in a straight line. Ski areas in the same weather-model cell (about 30 km across) get the same figure.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kuma Ski Land | 21.0 km | 46 cm | 2841 |
| Ishizuchi SKi & Snowbaord Resort | 40.0 km | 63 cm | 2725 |

Which way the slopes face
100% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
The most snow falls in January. March brings 28% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Japan (52%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 5 cm, less than the median of 46 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 45 cm, and 7 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 21 cm; the biggest was 2024/25 with 91 cm (4.3 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
