Shiga Kogen, Japan's leading ski resort, is dotted with 18 ski resorts. All of them are full of individuality, and each ski resort is close to each other and has good access. Due to its size, of course you can't cover the entire ski area in a day or two. Therefore, we recommend that you stay at a hotel and enjoy both skiing and après-skiing. This time, we focused on the central area where the slopes are concentrated.
