Geihoku Kogen Osa Ski Resort trail map
Geihoku Kogen Osa sits in the highlands of Kitahiroshima, close to the Shimane border, and is known for its main slope: a former pasture about 400 m wide. Most of the terrain is wide, gentle beginner and intermediate slopes suited to families, but the Champion course reaches 28 degrees, the Giant course grows moguls once the snow is deep, and an off-piste course is left ungroomed. A sledding area with a moving walkway and a kids' room make it popular with young families. The resort runs on natural snow only, so opening depends on the snowfall, and it holds occasional night-skiing events. It is reached by car from the Togouchi IC on the Chugoku Expressway, and shares a season pass with Osorakan and Megahira.
