Meiho

Meiho is a family-friendly ski resort located in Gifu Prefecture, central Japan, offering 14 runs across a 700-meter vertical drop (900m-1600m base to summit). With five lifts servicing the mountain, this resort provides a comfortable, uncrowded alternative to some of Japan's busier ski destinations. The resort receives approximately 550cm of annual snowfall, delivering reliable conditions throughout the winter season, though not quite reaching the powder depths of Japan's famous northern resorts.

What makes Meiho particularly appealing for international visitors is its accessibility from the Nagoya region and its well-balanced terrain suitable for families and intermediate skiers. The resort's moderate size makes it easy to navigate in a single day while still offering enough variety to stay interesting. While Meiho doesn't offer night skiing, its relaxed atmosphere and typical Japanese hospitality make it an excellent choice for those seeking an authentic, less touristy ski experience in the heart of Japan's Chubu region.
