- Snow and Japan go hand in hand, like milk and cookies. So much snow, or should we say JAPOW, falls across the resorts in Japan that they don’t count it in cm, it has to be counted in metres! Today we are taking a look at the top 5 snowiest ski resort in Japan, go through how much snow falls across these resorts per winter season and touch on a few details of each resort.

Japan, it’s a place of legends and when it comes to winter that legend is the deep powder snow which can be found across many of the resorts.
Keep in mind, the snow season in Japan only goes from mid December to early march, so some of these annual snowfalls are truly mind boggling.

I tend to keep quiet about Kiroro, it's that good. it's such an insane mountain and never sees the crowds of Niseko. In fact hardly anyone I talked to there knew it existed.
We could t agree more with you Matt, we had a 30cm day there which was mind blowing! 🤯
This video got me excited but as a Hokkaido local you’re kidding yourselves with these numbers. Anything south of Aomori would get 8-10 meters max. Rust is about 10-12 meters and Niseko/ Kokusai/ Kiroro is about 12 - 14 meters.
Kiroro, my Hokkaido hometown resort! Kokusai and many smaller resorts nearby. Always a fun drive to Rusutsu and Niseko too!😊
Wow I’m headed to Kokusai this coming winter very excited now
You will have a blast! Such an incredible resort.
Great vid!
Thank you 🙏
No matter what resort in Japan it’s the same as the rest of the world.
You have to be in the right place at the right time. Skied all these many times and it can vary a lot. Lotte Arai this year when I was there was icy and pretty average. Geto Kogen was pretty good but it gets better and worse depending on timing.
Can’t wait to get to Japan. Only 44 days 🎉
See you there! We are visiting in March too
Nice video! JMHO, I’ve been to Japan a lot but think it has gotten overhyped and is best suited to Aussies/East Asians who crowd there during January summer holidays and Chinese New Year. Resort elevation is quite low, the highest lift served area is only 2k meters which leads to a very short season and unchallenging terrain. Most areas are close to the Coast which leads to wetter snow and resorts are very small and old. Utah gets as much equal or better quality snow, with bigger and more modern resorts plus a much longer season and great terrain at high elevations.
I'm planning to go to Hokkaido and planning to go to 2 resorts.
the options we have are,
1. Rusutsu
2. Niseko
3. Furana
which 2 should we consider?
All are good. But stay away from any during Chinese new year. Niseko became too expensive after covid. Furano has dangerous icy streets to walk on at night. Broke my collarbone there slipping in the street. Been to all 3. Rusutsu or Furano is my pick, but bring snow shoes for the street.
Furano is our fave, then both Rusutsu and Niskeo are equally great.
@@snowstash Why Furano? We've been to Rutsutsu (loved it) and are planning our next trip and were thinking about Furano so we could be in a town, but worried there might not be enough tree runs...
Hey @markrobgray
Furano has a tonne of tree runs, especially under the aerial tram and then also through the gated zones. The views are better than Rusutsu and the town is awesome.
If it’s an option I’d suggest you split your time in halves between the Rusutsu side of Sapporo and the Furano side.
You can also check out Kamui Ski Links, lots of trees, lots of powder and cheap tickets.
Furano lift ticket center, the first days of Chinese New Year last Feb was a mess. Keep that in mind when going there. The end of the day had no ski lockers left.
I went to Kiroro and Kokusai in early jan, we stayed in Sapporo and rented a car to go every where close to Sapporo, and holy shit it was so fun
We just got back from a similar trip. Stayed in Sapporo and rode Furano, Kiroro, Teine, Niseko and Rusutsu. Incredible part of the world.
Seems more of a personal opinion video than facts. Should be a disclaimer for that.
Also Geto is in Iwate, not in Yamagata.
What about Hakuba?
You really don’t know Japan resorts… let me tell you after 20 years of being here, only one of these is in the top 5
ok then what are on top 5 ?
Rusutsu right?
