Nagano Shiga Kogen Mountain Ski Resort Lift Ticket

Japan's Largest, 18 Ski Resorts All-in-One Shiga Kogen Lift Pass

Shiga Kogen Mountain Resort is one of the largest snow resorts in Japan, with 18 ski resorts spread across a vast snowfield exceeding 2,000m above sea level. With 46 lifts and gondolas connecting each ski resort, you can freely move around multiple slopes with just one lift ticket and enjoy riding all day long. The moment you glide through the snowy mountain ridges and forests, the view of the white snowfield from 2,000m above sea level is truly overwhelming.
The season is also long, usually maintaining abundant snowfall and stable snow quality from late November to early May. From gentle and wide slopes for beginners and those preparing for their first ski/snowboard, to long-run courses, steep slopes, and park elements that advanced skiers will love, you can choose a course that suits your skill level and enjoy it. There are also several family slopes scattered throughout the area, making it a popular destination for family trips.
Shiga Kogen is largely composed of 5 areas: Okushiga Kogen Area, Yakebitaiyama Area, Central Area centered around Ichinose & Takamagahara, Kumanoyu Area famous for its snow quality, and Yokoteyama & Shibutoge Area. Each time you move to a different area, the slope characteristics and scenery change, making it a unique feature of Shiga Kogen that allows you to experience the fun of touring multiple ski resorts at once.
If you're not satisfied with riding just one slope all day long, or if you're a skier/snowboarder who likes to tour various courses, the Shiga Kogen lift ticket connecting 18 ski resorts will be the best choice.
