Shiga Kogen
A vast highland in the heart of Joshinetsu Kogen National Park, also designated as one of only nine UNESCO Eco Parks in Japan. With an elevation difference of as much as 1,000 meters, it supports rich vegetation and lets visitors enjoy nature full of diversity. In winter, 18 ski resorts of various sizes open across the area, attracting skiers and snowboarders from all over Japan.
It’s not just a ski area—Shiga Kogen is beautiful in every season, spring, summer, fall, and winter. There are hot springs, too!
