Honshu - Shiga Kogen Ski Resort

Japan's Largest ski area

Shiga Kogen is a mecca for skiing and winter sports enthusiasts. Located just a short distance from Tokyo, Shiga Kogen is easily the largest ski area in Japan, and offers an amazing 21 interlinked ski resorts all covered by one ski pass. The accommodation villages, scattered throughout the central ski areas, offer a wide variety of resort and lodge options, with a coach shuttle operating all day through the region (free with all ski passes).
The great selection of bars and restaurants in the area offer Australians a traditional Japanese eating experience, with hot food and sake a great bonus in a still largely undiscovered destination for international skiers.

SNOW MONKEY NATIONAL PARK
In addition to the fantastic skiing, the neighbouring Shiga National Park
offers the chance to see Japan’s snow monkeys close up in their own
outdoor hot bath ‘onsen’. This is one of Japan’s most amazing sights and
definitely worth a day off the snow to see.
