Onsen towns in Hiroshima
Designated national health-resort onsen in this prefecture, snowiest first.
Snowfall is the 12-winter average from the ERA5 reanalysis, and the model runs low on mountain snow, by different amounts in different regions (the regional map on the Japan page adds that difference back; the figures on this page do not).
