About Shiga Kogen
Shiga Kogen is Japan's largest single ski area by piste kilometres, a high-altitude plateau resort in northern Nagano that hosted the biathlon and cross-country events of the 1998 Winter Olympics. Comprising 22 interconnected ski zones, the resort sits above 1,500m and benefits from its elevation with reliable snowfall and excellent spring conditions. Shiga Kogen suits intermediate skiers seeking extensive cruising terrain at altitude, and its direct accessibility from the Shinkansen bullet train at Nagano makes it one of the easiest major Japanese resorts to reach from Tokyo.
