Kansai / West Japan 43
Counted from JMA AMeDAS daily snowfall totals (0–24h) at the station nearest to each resort (the same station used on our resort cards, chosen by distance and elevation). Stations are mostly at the base, so the upper mountain gets more. The count differs slightly from our "24h snowfall" (rolling 24 hours as of the morning). Resorts with no snow-gauge station nearby are not listed. 2025-26 season (Nov 2025–Apr 2026).
