About Kiroro
Kiroro sits in a sheltered valley in western Hokkaido, about an hour from Sapporo and close to Otaru. Moist air from the Sea of Japan drops heavy snow here, so Kiroro is known for some of the heaviest snowfall in Hokkaido, while the summit can disappear into cloud. These Kiroro live cams cover the snow stake, the peak and the base.
Which Kiroro webcam to check first
Start with the 24-hour snow stake for new snow overnight. Asari Peak shows wind, cloud and visibility at the top, the Nagamine camera shows the second peak's runs and the base area camera shows the resort centre.
Before you go to Kiroro
Check Kiroro's lift and trail status and the Japan Meteorological Agency forecast before you go. The road from Otaru and Sapporo climbs through snowy passes, so allow extra time after heavy snowfall.
Webcams and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. A camera can't tell you whether a lift, piste, road or off-piste route is open or safe.
