Ski areas from Japan’s past 過去の日本のスキー場を懐かしむ

Akagi Kogen

Iinan Town, Shimane Prefecture

赤来高原スキー場　島根県飯南町

Akagi Kogen was a ski area in Akagi Town, now part of Iinan Town in the southern region of Shimane Prefecture in western Japan. It appears to have at one time been known as Akana Ski Area (the name of the neighbourhood), with a rope tow lift. That seems to have been changed to a pair lift at one point. Opening and closing dates are unconfirmed.
