Famous for its long runs and steep slopes, this place is perfect for intermediate and advanced skiers who love a challenge. The gondola ride up offers amazing views, and skiing down is both thrilling and super fun! Afterward, you can relax at a nearby hot spring—makes for a really complete day.

Marugami Waterfall
The famed Marugami Waterfall, located in Ogano, Saitama, was selected as one of 100 Best Waterfalls in Japan. The waterfall is actually separated into 3 different levels, each offering a unique shape and beauty to enjoy on its own.
The path to get a closer look at the waterfall is really steep and tough to walk on.

Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine
Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine is a historic shrine that is said to have been built around 1500 years ago. The main shrine features elaborate engravings, and it has been designated as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.
This shrine has a strong traditional Japanese vibe. The way they do the fortune slips here is unique and pretty fun.

Lake Biwa
Lake Biwa, which belongs to the first-grade Yodo River system and is located in the center of Shiga Prefecture, occupies an area of about 670 k㎡, or about one-sixth of the prefecture's land area, and is the largest lake in Japan in terms of both area and water storage capacity, with 27.5 billion tons of water pouring in through rivers from the surrounding mountains of Ibuki, Suzuka, and Hira, all of which are over 1,000 meters high.
It wasn't as nice as I expected.
There was a lot of trash in the lake, which really surprised me!
