Where the Japanese ski

Written by a from Brisbane
24/8/2009

Shiga Kogen is immense. Ten days is hardly enough to explore all of the runs. Despite its proximity to Tokyo lift queues are non-existent except for weekends.Expect a foot of powder every morning and a great variety of terrain. No night life to speak of but so much skiing to do who has the energy? Ski hire is very cheap and great quality but little English is spoken so forget about lessons unless you have a smattering of Japanese. Visit the monkey onsen on your day off or see them observe your technique as you ski the forest trails.
