Hida Highland

Hida City, Gifu Prefecture

飛騨ハイランドスキー場　岐阜県飛騨市

Hida Highland was a ski area in the Sugo Kogen region of what used to be Furukawa Town, now Hida City, in Gifu Prefecture. The ski area had two ski lifts and opened in 1973. The lower area was also used as a golf course in the summer months. In later years of operation, Hida Highland was only available for groups and on weekends, but it does not seem to have been open since 2016.
