How it rides
Outdoor in Motai sits in the foothills of central Gujo City, serving as the southernmost ski area in the region. The mountain is built for learning, with terrain that favors riders just finding their feet. A single pair lift accesses mellow runs that roll through the 100 meters of vertical, making it an approachable option for families and beginners from the Kansai region — Nagoya, Gifu, Shiga, Kyoto, and Osaka are all within driving distance.
The resort has faced serious challenges in recent years. Snowfall in the region has become unreliable, forcing closures during the 2023–2024 season and again in 2024–2025. The area is currently closed and not expected to reopen in the 2025–2026 season. If and when conditions improve, Outdoor in Motai could serve as a convenient local option for nearby riders, but the pattern of closures makes it an uncertain choice for planning a trip.
