SnowJapanHistory is an affectionate look back at ski areas from Japan’s past. Currently, there are about 500 operating ski areas in Japan, all of which are introduced in detail on SnowJapan.com. Over the years, about 900 ski areas have been scattered across the Japanese mountains. Many are no longer with us for one reason or another, but each deserves to be remembered. SnowJapanHistory introduces the lost ski areas of Japan with statistics, background stories and information, aerial photographs and location details. [More about this site]
