Hirugano Kogen Ski Resort is a ski area in Gifu, Japan, on slopes between roughly 862 and 1,038 m. Its mapped area is about 1.3 km across, with 6 marked runs and 3 lifts (about 3.9 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 220 cm of snowfall a season, 233rd of the 397 ski areas we measure in Japan. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2014/15 (399 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2019/20 (136 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 75 cm. Snowfall days average −3.1 °C at mid-mountain, and its snow-quality score ranks 250th of 397 in Japan.

Below are links to 2 official live cameras.

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.
