Shiga Kogen Snow Monkey Xmas
Overview
Shiga Kogen is Japan's largest ski resort area, offering a vast winter playground with 18 interconnected ski resorts all accessible with the one lift pass. The resort’s high altitude ensures excellent snow conditions throughout the season, and with over 80 kilometers of courses and 70 lifts, there's something for every skier and snowboarder. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced rider, Shiga Kogen provides endless terrain to explore. This trip also includes an optional visit to see the famous snow monkeys soaking in hot springs, free ski/snowboard lessons and a fun xmas event with party games on the Saturday night.
Shiga Kogen boasts a unique advantage with its inter-connected slopes across both the northern and southern zones, offering seamless access to a massive ski area. Unlike other resorts where terrain is fragmented, Shiga Kogen lets you easily explore different areas. With a variety of trails from wide groomers to off-piste tree runs, there’s something for everyone, including those looking for fresh powder without the competition seen at other popular Nagano resorts.
Our hotel is only a 2min walk / ski from the lifts and also features a 24hour, 100% natural onsen (hot spring). On Saturday night after dinner, we will hold a fun xmas party featuring a bar, music and mini-olympics style party games with prizes. On Sunday you can choose to join our Snow Monkey tour (fees are included), or spend another day skiing/boarding Shiga Kogen. You can also fit in a half day skiing/boarding in the afternoon after the snow monkeys if you are keen.
Looking forward to it!!

Easy access to the slopes from the hotel and good options for eating. The hotel's onsen is quite nice too. Logistics and everything were well coordinated as always with TSC.
Great package and you get a lot for what you pay. Had to worry about nothing during the trip and could fully focus on playing on the slopes

Trip was good, cozy hotel, good breakfast and dinner, TSC staff is nice and helpful and resort is huge. Totally recommended.
Been on this trip twice now, and both times have been great! TSC is consistently well organized every year. Keep it up!
good management, good accommodations, it was nice trip!
This was my first long weekend snowboarding and I was a little nervous to go but I had so much fun! I made lots of friends who I would run into across the resort and go snowboarding with. Despite the wind occasionally closing top area, there was always somewhere to go. I like how the hotel is located close to the yama no Eki so you have good access to the bus to get to other areas (although you can traverse anywhere). Had fun beating Daff and KG at blokus and getting panini revenge.
Such a nice powder weekend!
It was a super good trip! The powder was amazing! Thanks for the good organizations! I like Shigakogen!
Enjoyed the trip! Staff were great in sending instruction to the group and Shiga Kogen is s great resort. Lodging was conveniently near the gondola and the afterparty is great too
