【週末限定】非圧雪多めのローカルゲレンデ｜ばんしゅう戸倉スノーパーク
By: gelanding+.tube · 2025-12-15
Banshu Tokura Snow Park is a ski area in Hyogo, Japan, on slopes between roughly 601 and 857 m. Its mapped area is about 1.0 km across, with 4 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 1.5 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 205 cm of snowfall a season, 254th of the 397 ski areas we measure in Japan. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2021/22 (313 cm), brought more than 4 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (66 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 70 cm. Snowfall days average −2.0 °C at mid-mountain, close to freezing, so the snow is often heavy, and its snow-quality score ranks 314th of 397 in Japan.
Below are links to 4 official live cameras.
Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

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 deliberately excludes how much snow falls — it uses temperature, frequency, rain and wind. Snowing a lot and snowing well are different things.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. Ski areas a few kilometres apart share a weather grid cell and can return the same figure.

Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 205 cm, and 5 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 66 cm; the biggest was 2021/22 with 313 cm (4.7 times as much). For 63% of the 397 ski areas in Japan, the leanest winter was the same 2015/16: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.

- Is Western Japan Snowier Than It Looks? Our Model Against the Weather Stations Western Japan's ski areas look thin in our data — a median of 125 cm against a national 249 cm. Against 16 Japan Meteorological Agency stations, the model we use returns 44% of what the ground records there. The region is far snowier than our own numbers say.
