Shiga Kogen Yakebitaiyama Ski Resort
Shiga Kogen Yakebitaiyama Ski Resort, located in Yamanouchi Town, Shimotakai District, Nagano Prefecture, is renowned as one of the venues of the 1998 Winter Olympics. The resort offers 20 courses in total, known for its “Platinum Powder”-exceptionally dry and light snow.
People who really love skiing will probably love Yakebitaiyama. The snow quality is good, and the runs are long enough that you can take the gondola up and ski all the way down. The runs winding through the conifer forest are especially beautiful, and when the weather is good, skiing while taking in the mountain views is truly enjoyable.
