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.
The slopes here are really appealing. Not only is the snow quality great, but the scenery is top-notch too. After taking the gondola up the mountain and seeing the whole snowy landscape, I was in such a great mood. Skiing down was even more fun, and it made me want to go again and again.
