Yokone Ski Area trail map
Yokone is Oguni's town ski hill on Route 113, right next to the Shiroi Mori Oguni roadside station, so you can park and step straight onto the snow. One pair lift serves an intermediate main slope of up to 32 degrees, and there is a gentler family slope for beginners. Its claim to fame is a snowboard-only halfpipe with its own rope tow, which the resort calls the first snowboard-only course in Japan. The slope is floodlit for night riding on weekdays and Saturdays. There is no rental, so bring your own gear, and food is at the roadside station. Parking is free.
