Osa Ski Resort

• Hiroshima

Technically, Osa ski resort is just over the border into Hiroshima prefecture, but it is at the edge of Kanagi. You can combine a day's skiing with an onsen at Hot Springs in Kanagi and dinner at one of the restaurants in the are.

Penguins go walkies!

One of the unique things at this ski resort is that penguins have a stroll there.  They take a walk two or three times a day.  There are eight days when you have a chance to meet cute penguins during the ski season. (This season (2013), the dates are January 12^th, 13^th, 26^th, 27^th and February 9^th, 10^th, 23^rd, 24^th.)  During this event, people can see the penguins up close.  Also, you can touch and feel the penguins’ feathers!  It’s really interesting that people can get so close to a penguin rather than going to an aquarium or a zoo.

Ski slopes for everyone from children to advanced skiers!

This ski resort provides five slopes with six lifts. Two of them are for beginners. Beginner courses have gentle slops (10 degree average) and they are 400m wide, so they are good for beginners and children to practice skiing and snowboarding. Of course there are slopes for advanced skiers and snowboarders too. Advanced courses have steeper slopes (28 degree max), but they have detours so everyone from beginners to advanced skiers/ snowboarders can have fun!
