Shiga Kogen ski resort comprises a collection of 21 ski resorts that creates the largest combined ski area in Japan with a single lift ticket giving you access to 71 lifts.

Being spread across such a large area, Shiga Kogen ski resort doesn’t really have a main town area so après ski activities generally take place at your hotel of choice.

For a unique experience, why not take a day trip up to the Monkey Hot Springs and Shibu Onsen to see the world-famous wild snow monkeys relaxing in the natural hot springs (considered to be the only place in the world where you can see this).
