Oeyama

Miyazu City, Kyoto

大江山スキー場　京都府宮津市

Oeyama - sometimes written as Oueyama - was a ski area located south of the central area of Miyazu City in the northern region of Kyoto Prefecture or Kyoto-fu. This location is actually close to the Sea of Japan and over 100km from Kyoto City. This area increasingly struggled with snowfall in recent years and seasons were getting much shorter and less reliable. Ageing lift facilities needing maintenance also helped with the decision to close Oeyama in 2016. The area now features solar panels.
