By: 発射5秒前 · 2026-08-22
Chausuyama Kogen Ski Area is a ski area in Aichi, Japan, on slopes between roughly 1,217 and 1,300 m. Its mapped area is about 0.8 km across, with 4 marked runs and 2 lifts (about 1.7 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 63 cm of snowfall a season, 389th of the 397 ski areas we measure in Japan. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2021/22 (97 cm), brought more than 3 times as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (31 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 19 cm. Snowfall days average −3.4 °C at mid-mountain, and its snow-quality score ranks 391st of 397 in Japan.
Below are links to 2 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.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 74% of January’s snowfall. That is a gentler fall than the median for ski areas in Japan (52%). For skiing, though, the amount matters more than the share: March brings 14 cm, less than the median of 46 cm.
