Dogoyama Kogen Ski Area trail map
Dogoyama Kogen is a long-established ski area on Mt. Dogo, called the queen of the Chugoku Mountains, in Shobara, Hiroshima, and is known as the birthplace of skiing in Hiroshima Prefecture. Three runs include the Panorama course through woodland with wide mountain views, the 1.5 km Downhill cruiser and the 35-degree Champion course, where the altitude keeps the snow good. Parking for about 1,000 cars is free. The season is planned for late December to early March but depends on snow.
