About Sounkyo Kurodake
Sounkyo is a hot-spring town in a deep basalt gorge in Daisetsuzan National Park, with the Kurodake ropeway climbing from the village towards the summit of Kurodake. The ski terrain is small and steep, with deep snow but often cold, windy and cloudy conditions near the top. These Sounkyo Kurodake live cams show both the valley and the mountain.
Which Sounkyo Kurodake webcam to check first
Start with the camera looking towards Kurodake's summit for snow in the trees and cloud on the peak. The second stream looks down the ropeway line to the Sounkyo hot-spring town and the gorge.
Before you go to Sounkyo Kurodake
Check the Kurodake ropeway's operating news and the Japan Meteorological Agency forecast before you go. Strong wind can stop the ropeway and the lift above it.
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.
