Snow and Japan go hand in hand, like milk and cookies. So much snow, or should we say JAPOW, falls across the resorts in Japan that they don’t count it in cm, it has to be counted in metres! Today we are taking a look at the top 5 snowiest ski resort in Japan, go through how much snow falls across these resorts per winter season and touch on a few details of each resort.

Japan, it’s a place of legends and when it comes to winter that legend is the deep powder snow which can be found across many of the resorts.
Keep in mind, the snow season in Japan only goes from mid December to early march, so some of these annual snowfalls are truly mind boggling.

Kiroro, my Hokkaido hometown resort! Kokusai and many smaller resorts nearby. Always a fun drive to Rusutsu and Niseko too!😊

No matter what resort in Japan it’s the same as the rest of the world. You have to be in the right place at the right time. Skied all these many times and it can vary a lot. Lotte Arai this year when I was there was icy and pretty average. Geto Kogen was pretty good but it gets better and worse depending on timing.

Nice video! JMHO, I’ve been to Japan a lot but think it has gotten overhyped and is best suited to Aussies/East Asians who crowd there during January summer holidays and Chinese New Year. Resort elevation is quite low, the highest lift served area is only 2k meters which leads to a very short season and unchallenging terrain. Most areas are close to the Coast which leads to wetter snow and resorts are very small and old. Utah gets as much equal or better quality snow, with bigger and more modern resorts plus a much longer season and great terrain at high elevations.

I went to Kiroro and Kokusai in early jan, we stayed in Sapporo and rented a car to go every where close to Sapporo, and holy shit it was so fun

We just got back from a similar trip. Stayed in Sapporo and rode Furano, Kiroro, Teine, Niseko and Rusutsu. Incredible part of the world.
