Megahira Onsen Megahira sits on the eastern slopes of Megahirayama in Hiroshima Prefecture, less than two kilometres from the Yoshiwa IC expressway exit. The resort draws a heavy snowboarder crowd—70% of riders—and benefits from reliable snow in a region where it's otherwise scarce. The base area has rental shops, lessons, and a sledging zone for kids, plus the onsen nearby adds a reason to linger after riding.<br><br>The terrain breaks roughly 30% beginner, 60% intermediate, and 10% advanced, with a quad and four pair lifts serving eight marked runs. The longest run stretches 2,300 meters, and the steepest pitches out at 30 degrees. Intermediate riders will find the most to work with here; advanced terrain is limited and the vertical—473 meters—means runs don't take long to descend. Flat sections and traverses are part of the layout, so expect some poling.<br><br>The resort closes Tuesdays and operates 8am to 5pm most days, with the quad opening at 9am. A few night-skiing sessions run through the season. For riders in or near Hiroshima looking for a quick powder day or a mellow session, Megahira delivers; for those chasing steep lines or long descents, you'll want to travel further.
