Itoshiro Charlottetown was a ski area located in the Itoshiro neighbourhood of Gujo City in Gifu Prefecture, close to the border with Fukui Prefecture. It was about 13km off Route 158, to the west of the many ski and snowboard resorts in the Takasu region of the city. There were originally five lifts operating at Itoshiro Charlottetown, but it was scaled down to just three lifts before closing in 2011.
