Kadohara

Ono City, Fukui Prefecture

勝原スキー場（カドハラ）　福井県大野市

Kadohara was a ski area located on the northern slopes of Arashimadake in Ono City, Fukui Prefecture. The ski area's name was often written in katakana rather than kanji. It opened in 1963 and closed at the end of the 2009 winter season. The Kadohara IC exit of the Chubu Jukan Expressway is now open where the ski lifts used to be.
