Shiga Kogen is a cosy ski resort nestled in the heart of the Joshinetsu National Park in the Nagano Prefecture. As Japan's largest resort, it is famous for its grand scale, wide range of ski terrain, amazing panoramic views, and powder snow. Shiga Kogen is the ultimate destination for the keen skier and snowboarder. As a host of the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympic Giant Slalom and Paralympic events, there is no denying that Shiga Kogen is a world class ski resort.

Consisting of 21 interlinked ski fields and almost 70 lifts, gondolas, ropeways and tows, it takes days to experience all that Shiga Kogen has to offer. If the extensive lift network won't get you were you want to go, the non-stop shuttle service between resorts will solve the problem.
