UP Kannabe Ski Resort

アップかんなべ
Off season Official site Lift tickets (official)

UP Kannabe Ski Resort is a ski area in Hyogo, Japan, on slopes between roughly 321 and 435 m. Its mapped area is about 1.1 km across, with 2 marked runs and 5 lifts (about 1.1 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 147 cm of snowfall a season, 323rd of the 397 ski areas we measure in Japan. It swings a lot from year to year: the biggest winter, 2021/22 (213 cm), brought more than 4 times as much as the leanest, 2015/16 (45 cm). January is usually the snowiest month, with about 52 cm. Weather models read low in the mountains: a Japan Meteorological Agency station 11.8 km away measured 528 cm a winter over the last three seasons, against 176 cm from the model. Snowfall days average −0.2 °C at mid-mountain, close to freezing, so the snow is often heavy, and its snow-quality score ranks 375th of 397 in Japan.

Below are links to 3 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.

When it falls, and how winters differ

Month by month

Month by month, the most snow falls in January. March brings 23% of January’s snowfall. That is a steeper fall than the median for ski areas in Japan (52%): the snow here is concentrated early in the season. In amount, March brings 12 cm, less than the median of 46 cm.

Winter by winter

Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 147 cm, and 5 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2015/16 with 45 cm; the biggest was 2021/22 with 213 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.

What was actually measured nearby

Total snowfall from December to March recorded at the 兎和野高原 weather station — 11.8 km from this ski area, 162 m above its mid-slope.

Three-season average528 cm
2023/24303 cm
2024/25699 cm
2025/26582 cm

The figure calculated on this page is 176 cm.

A weather station is not a ski slope. We picked one at a similar elevation, but it stands in a valley or a village. More snow falls on the mountain above it. We have not tried to guess how much more.
