If you search for the largest ski resort in Japan, Shiga Kogen will probably be on the top of the list. It’s a very large ski resort and if you’re into exploring the mountain by skis, there are a variety of ski trails the place can offer for all levels. It’s so wide that it will be impossible to ski all areas in one day.

This might confuse first timers when they decide to go on a holiday in Shiga Kogen because it’s hard to tell which area is best for skiing. I guess that’s where its charm lies at. There are plenty of areas to try and it’s really the go-to place for friends and families to have a ski holiday. Grab the map, take the lift, and ski your heart out. Just make sure you have enough time to go back.
