Geihoku Bunka Land Closed
Official name 芸北文化ランド
Hiroshima
Closed in 2007
This was the ski area of Geihoku Bunka Land, a facility run by the Koryo Gakuen school group in former Geihoku town, now Kitahiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture. Between about 700 and 870 m it had two double chairs, three single chairs and ten runs, the longest 1,300 m and the steepest 30 degrees. It was for skiers only and offered night skiing on Fridays and weekends. Poor natural snowfall led it to stop running lifts from the 2007-08 season. The slope was later used for weekend sledding and snow tubing, and the facility itself remains in use for education.
