Imajo 365 is a ski area on the eastern slopes of Hachibuseyama in Minamiechizen Town in Fukui Prefecture, close to the border with Shiga Prefecture.
This ski area is the most southerly ski area in Fukui Prefecture.
Unfortunately, after not opening for the 2020-2021 season due to COVID-19, the ski area also did not open for the 2021-2022 winter season. It was planning on a part re-opening for the 2022-2023 season, but sadly, there was damage to facilities and roads from heavy rains in August 2022. As a result, it did not open during the 2022-2023 season.
Imajo 365 re-opened for the 2023-2024 season with just the Number 1 pair lift (550m) operating. Since 2025-2026, the 605m Number 2 pair lift has also been operating.
Imajo 365 initially opened in 1990.
