Koeji is a small municipal ski hill on Mt. Ahara in the Ide district of eastern Esashi, Oshu City. It began as a local rope-tow slope in 1967, gained a lodge and night lighting in 1985 and later a pair lift, and offered four runs over roughly 200 m of vertical for local families. As part of the city's budget reforms it has been suspended since fiscal 2022, with one last "Thank you Koeji" festival day in February 2023. No reopening has been announced.
