Ohana Resort is a ski area located in Takashima City in the northern region of Shiga Prefecture.
Until late 2024, this ski area was known as Kunizakai Kogen Snow Park.
The ski area has four pair ski lifts (540m, 479m, 388m and 702m).
It is located by the side of Route 161 and close to the border with Fukui Prefecture. In fact, one of the ski lifts is actually within Fukui Prefecture. This makes it convenient for people coming from Tsuruga City in the north and from the south.
In mid-December 2023, when it was still known as Kunizakai Kogen Snow Park, this ski area announced it would not open during the 2023-2024 season. The reason was not being able to recruit enough staff to safely open.
