Takamine Mountain Park Ski Area is a ski area in Gunma, Japan, on slopes between roughly 1,887 and 1,985 m. Its mapped area is about 1.3 km across, with 9 marked runs and 4 lifts (about 4.4 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 145 cm of snowfall a season, 326th of the 397 ski areas we measure in Japan. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2014/15 (202 cm), brought more than twice as much as the leanest, 2025/26 (100 cm). March is usually the snowiest month, with about 48 cm. Snowfall days are cold, averaging −8.1 °C at mid-mountain, and its snow-quality score ranks 190th 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.

Guides covering Gunma
- Everywhere on Earth You Climb for Snow. Japan Is the One Place You Drive Toward the Sea. Across 3,069 ski areas we measure, height and snowfall move together — +0.58 in France, +0.85 in Germany. In Japan the figure is +0.02. The reason is not that elevation stopped working.
- How Close to Rain Does the Snow Fall? Japan, the Alps and North America Compared We measured how close to freezing the snow already falls at 240 randomly drawn resorts in the Alps and North America, and at all 397 in Japan. Japan is not one place: Honshu is among the most exposed, Hokkaido among the least.
- Why Is Hokkaido's Snow Colder? Latitude, Elevation and Rain Across 397 Japanese ski areas, elevation sets the temperature and latitude does almost nothing to it — inside Honshu, going north is worth nothing at all. What latitude buys instead is the absence of rain.
