About Kuju
Kuju ski area sits at about 1,300 metres on a high grassy plateau in Kokonoe, Oita, below the volcanic peaks of the Kuju range in Aso-Kuju National Park. Natural snow is unreliable this far south, so the slopes depend on cold nights and snowmaking. These Kuju webcams show the slopes and the road conditions.
Which Kuju webcam to check first
Start with the main slope camera for snow cover across the ski area. The mid-mountain camera shows the upper runs, and the car park camera shows the road surface on arrival. All three are on the ski area's own website.
Before you go to Kuju
Check the ski area's opening news and the Japan Meteorological Agency forecast before you go. Plateau roads freeze on clear nights, so winter tyres or chains are needed.
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.
