Introduction to the region
Hiroshima Prefecture is located in the Chugoku region of Honshu in western Japan. The prefecture shares a border with Shimane Prefecture and Tottori Prefecture, Okayama Prefecture to the east and Yamaguchi Prefecture to the west.
Most of the currently operating ski areas in Hiroshima Prefecture are located in the northwestern part of the prefecture, near the border with Shimane, in Kitahiroshima Town, Hatsukaichi City, and Akiota Town. There are also several ski areas in Shobara City in the northeastern region, close to the border with Tottori Prefecture.
In recent years, this region has increasingly struggled with unpredictable snowfall, and several ski areas have closed.
Dogoyama Kogen is one of several ski areas currently operating in Shobara City.
