Kanmuri Kogen

Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture

冠高原スキー場　広島県廿日市市

Kanmuri Kogen was a small ski area located in the western region of Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture, near the border with Yamaguchi Prefecture. It was only a small ski area with gentle, short slopes, but it seems to have been popular at one time. Details are hard to confirm, but there were up to five rope tow lifts at one time. Unfortunately, the region struggled with consistent snowfall, and Kanmuri Kogen closed around 2000.
