The hike up to the monkeys was very beautiful! And the snow monkeys are definitely worth the visit! The pool they are in is much smaller than expected but nonetheless enjoyed the experience. Just a tip, the path in winter is slippery at the beginning, so I would recommend bringing shoes with good grip and spikes. We had flat shoes and after we made it up the first steps, we were fine the rest of the way. But would've definitely felt safer with some more snow-suited boots!

Visited this place during winter in January. My visit was a captivating blend of natural beauty and adorable wildlife. The chilly weather was undeniable but the sight of the snow covered landscape and endearing snow monkeys enjoying a hot bath in their natural habitate more than made up for it. The journey to the park itself was an adventure, through picturesque trails that added an element of excitement to the experience. Upon arriving at the park's ♨️ springs, the sight of the 🐒🐵 soaking in warm waters was an absolute delight.

Great park, easy hike to see a bunch of snow monkeys. There are many baby monkeys as well. They are so cute and naughty. A tip, if you take bus to get there with luggage, you can store them at the museum cafe next to the bus stop.

Amazing experience being up close with the Snow Monkeys (which are actually Japanese Macaques). They are indifferent to human presence so you will have no trouble going up to them to take pictures, though the guideline is to stay at least 1 meter away to respect their space. It's a little surreal, almost like humans are invisible. There's a 20 to 30 minutes trek up to the park on foot, so traveling light is best if visiting. If you're staying at the hotels nearby, ask the reception about the park and they might give you discount coupons which makes the park admission tickets cheaper.

To reach the Snow Monkey Park, you'll need to walk around 1.6km. In winter, ensure you wear waterproof hiking or trekking shoes. While the park isn't large, the scenery is breathtaking, and you can watch the snow monkeys enjoying a hot spring. Remember not to bring food inside, follow the rules, and avoid disturbing the wild monkeys. There are no restaurants within or near the park; they're only available near the parking lot, so please plan accordingly.

Compared to other attractions in Japan it wasn’t that crowded maybe because the snow monkey is a little bit of a walk. Which I appreciate a lot. Not overly packed. The staff could have been a bit nicer. But overall I highly recommend! Very natural surroundings it felt real when exploring the area. I could do it again. Monkey can be aggressive. So it is better exercising caution around them.

A bit far from everything else. The walk to the monkey park is about 20 minutes and along a beautiful path surrounded by trees. Admission tickets are 800 yen for adults. Although the monkeys roam freely, there are a few areas that are marked off. You can enjoy seeing them without getting too close as they can be quite aggressive.

Amazing place in the winter! The park with the monkeys are not big, but so worth it. Monkeys are very cute, not aggressive and totally ignores people and just goes about their business as always. You park the car, go for a 2 km hike through amazing nature, and you end up with the most fantastic group of monkeys take the full spa treatment.. And it's wild monkeys, no fence, no feeding them, the can go as they please.. It costs 800 yen per adult and is worth all and then some..

We went in the summer and it was a great day. Easy trip from Tokyo by bullet train. Less crowded in the summer and fun for children as well. The walk in is beautiful and an easy, well maintained trail.

It's a must on your bucket list if you love monkeys. I caught the Limited express Snow Monkey from Nagano Station and got on the local bus which drops you off. Walk about 10min, past the cafe (where you will have the best apple ice cream in the world) up past a gift shop. The stairs next to it will take you to the Park roughly about 30min walk. What a beautiful walk once you are there the monkeys will not disappoint, I was there from 2pm. Make sure you check the live Web Cam and see yourself 😆🐒. PS so so Mandy babies 🤣

Traversing the autumn landscape of Snow Monkey Park, where the absence of snow didn't diminish the enchantment. Although it was raining and the muddy paths posed a challenge, the availability of boot rentals came to the rescue, ensuring our comfort during the journey. The cold air, the quiet forest, and the decision to offer boots showcased the park's commitment to visitor satisfaction. As we approached the hot springs, the rain added a mystical quality to the setting, making the playful antics of the snow monkeys even more captivating. Despite the weather's unpredictability, the thoughtful details, like boot rentals, made the visit to Snow Monkey Park a truly enjoyable adventure.

I have heard about this like most people so decided to take a tour to see the Snow Monkeys. It’s about 3 1/2 hours from Tokyo Shinjuku. Once we got there there is a little bit of a walk to get to the monkeys. ( 1 mile each way from the entrance) It’s about a 20 minute walk but be careful as there was a lot of ice and snow. When you see the geyser ( which is pretty interesting in itself) you are almost there. A few more steps up. There wasn’t a lot of snow but lots of monkeys. A few were in the water but it was really nice to finally be able to see them. You have to go at least once.

Definitely worth a visit amidst the touristy feel. It’s been warm the last few days, hence not icy and more like muddy. But safer to walk, did not need spikes. We were lucky to have a few of them, especially the grandfather (last photo) in the on a warm day. On the way down don’t forget to stop by at Enza Cafe for their homemade apple pie…. Simply awesome…

This is a really well run and maintained park. The monkeys are amazingly docile because of the complete lack of interaction with humans over the years. In winter, they bathe a lot in the pool constructed for them which is very cute. You can get very close so there's lots of opportunities for great pictures. It's a long cold walk, but the path up the mountain is well maintained. It's well worth it! You don't often get the opportunity to see nature this up close and personal. They close at 4PM so don't start your walk too late!

A bucket list destination if you have the opportunity while visiting Japan. You can easily get lost in nature and most of the visuals make you feel like you working for national geographic. The walk to the park from the bus stop was about 40 minutes. We went in early January and the weather was beautiful. It costs ¥800 for adults to enter but it was worth every yenny. I highly recommend visiting this park as it's a once in a lifetime experience.

We visited despite the weather being really rainy and we are so glad we did! The way up, despite the poor weather, was no problem since it was very well maintained. The path up is easy to traverse. We were also pleased with the little shop and the facilities. You can get really close to the animals and if you follow the guidelines, you are absolutely safe. Experiencing the monkeys up close really is something special. The animals are not caged and can leave if they want to. Overall I can more than recommend the experience.

Wow!!!! Definitely worth a visit, even coming to the area just for this experience. There are so many monkeys once you reach the onsen, they bathe there, have little fights, play - it was lovely to watch them. We were lucky enough to see a lot of baby monkeys as well (march-may I think is a good time to go). The weather wasn't perfect but there were still a lot of monkeys for all the visitors to see. 800 yen is also a fair price. The 'hike' there is very easy, also with kids or even a wheelchair. There are restrooms next to the park.

It was nice to visit. Make sure you have good boots for a muddy trail. More interesting in the colder months definitely because the monkeys won’t bath when it’s warm. The walk to the park is really nice and has only a couple of steep parts, so it’s really easy. Watching the monkeys go about their business is really adorable. The entrance fee was 800 JPY in 2023, which I found a bit high for what you get. If I visited again, I would come in the winter/early spring.

I really really really loved it here! It was way more fun then expected. I ended up staying 5 hours in total here. The monkeys mind their own business and they pretty much act like you aren't there. There were a lot of babies as well. Which I found super cute. A couple of them also ended up bathing amd playing in the hot springs which was really fun to see. Luckily it wasn't that busy when I visited. But next time i would love to come during the winter!

5 stars for the very cute monkeys. 2 stars for getting there. Bus drops at main road so need to walk in. Very convenient taxi service from Yudanaka Station cost <2000 yen. But need to book a return ride. Then walk 1.5km along a nature trail, when wet is muddy. Don't wear anything new. Still worth visiting.

Snow Monkeys Park offers a unique, albeit slightly crowded, experience. The park, though small in size, is a treasure trove for nature lovers. The pathway to the park is scenic, leading to the extraordinary sight of snow monkeys in their natural hot spring habitat. Despite the limited space occasionally feeling crowded, the opportunity to observe these photogenic monkeys up close is unparalleled. The staff's dedication is commendable, and the facilities are well-maintained. Overall, it's a must-visit for an unforgettable glimpse into the serene world of these charming creatures. A truly remarkable, photogenic encounter!

Must visit place if you are coming to Japan in January or February. From the bus stop to the the snow monkey park the road was narrow and covered with snow. It was slippery. Finally when you will reach to the snow monkey park you will be happy to see those cute well mannered monkeys. They are really special. They soak their bodies in the hot spring water and they are camera friendly. They will look at your camera in a nice way.

Its a long long walk on a slippery path. Took us almost and hour one way to walk 1.8 kilometers. The pool with the monkeys is great once you get there. Probably spent half an hour and then had to do the 1 hour walk back. Maybe it's better without snow. But then again: your coming to see the snow monkeys.

You MUST do this!!! This was a once in a lifetime experience. It is a large hike up a steep street. Then you go up some steps. At the top it flattens out. You the have a long but fairly flat and very muddy walk along a trail. At the end of the trail there is a flight of extremely steep steps. At the top it flattens out again and you walk up a concreted slope to a hut. On the other side of the hut is the monkey park! It is amazing!!! You need good knees to do this and you must be sturdy on your feet. It is ok to go slow! Well worth the effort for the incredible experience!!!

We went in middle of March . Didn’t expect the snow fall and it was magical experience indeed. Then you see the cute snow monkeys relaxing in the hot spring. What a perfect moment.! You can check online to see if the snow monkeys are there. They have live broadcasting website to confirm sightings. Highly recommended

Winter January 2024 Walking up the snowy track was breathtaking. Amazing view and many beautiful scenery for photo shooting. It's 1.8km one way and takes about 45 minutes. However, give it extra for taking photos. Once you've reached the top, the village is spectacular, and every step you've climbed is worth it. The monkeys are friendly. However, do not carry food or drink as the smell or aroma may attract them. There'll be T&C at the ticket counter for patrons to take cautions when visiting. I would recommend this place to visit, especially when you've not seen monkeys in hot spas before. And definitely the view and scenery.

Please do not visit this place. If you truly care about animals, avoid visiting the Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park. It is a tourist trap that is really affecting their habitat. They cannot be called wild if staff members feed them, making them fight for food just to keep them around to please tourists who want a good photo, they cannot be called wild if we cared about a good photo + tourism more than conservation, and they cannot be called wild by having hundred of cameras in front of them every second for 7 hours day by day… that’s is so sad and I truly regret my visit, it was not was I was expecting. I hope people start thinking it twice and making a good research about this place before visiting, I thought I did but in fact, I was wrong.

Visit the place when the snow started to melt. Be prepare to walk over the muddy path that takes about 20-25 min walk to reach the ticket entrance. Definitely worth the visit to see how the monkey enjoy the hot onsen. Admission - 800Yen . Parking fee - Free

This is a very popular tourist attraction year round. We got there by bus just like most of the other people. It's roughly a 40 minute walk from the bus stop to the snow monkeys park. Part of the trail can be muddy and slippery due to rain or snow, so wear appropriate footwear as suggested by the other reviewers. Luckily the trail is mostly flat, we made it there without much difficulty even in the snow. It's definitely worth the walk. We saw plenty of monkeys inside the park. Most of them were soaking or just hanging around the hot spring. The others were cuddling or running around the riversides. It got a little bit crowded around the hot spring, but there was enough room for everyone to get a good view and shots of the monkeys.

We loved this place. We went there during the winter in January and were afraid that there would be too many tourists but it was alright. You have a small hike from the parking of 20-25min and just this is already really nice to do. Beautiful views in a snowy forest. There were so many monkeys it was impressive. It’s really magical with those hot onsen and all the monkeys walking around. Be careful and don’t touch them though ! Vibes are immaculate

ゴンドラリフト乗り場前の展望テラスに椅子なども有り景観も良かった。高山植物園などもありました。二階にカフェも営業されているようです。 (Translated by Google) There were chairs on the observation terrace in front of the gondola lift, and the view was nice. There was also an alpine botanical garden. Apparently there is also a cafe on the second floor.

(Translated by Google) It's a slope with terrain that would normally be quite interesting, but for some reason now it's been created in a zigzag like a downhill course, and it's virtually just a contact course. I think it's good because there are giants. Will it be normal if the corona limit is removed? (Original) 普通ならかなり面白くなりそうな地形のゲレンデなんですけど、今はどういうわけかそれを下山コースのように九十九折に造成してしまっていて、事実上ただの連絡コース状態に。ジャイアントがあるから良いでしょって感じですかね。コロナ制限がなくなったら通常になるのかなぁ？

😷

山頂のカフェは綺麗で見晴らしもいいです。標高が高いのもよし。長野オリンピック関連の展示や、そこで使われたコースもあります。 一方でゴンドラがイマイチ。古いし音がうるさく、4人乗りでキャパも小さい。お金がかかるのはわかるが何とかしてほしいなぁ。 (Translated by Google) The cafe at the top of the mountain is beautiful and has a great view. The high altitude is also good. There are also exhibits related to the Nagano Olympics and courses used there. On the other hand, the gondola is not good. It's old, noisy, seats only 4, and has a small capacity. I know it costs money, but I'd like to do something about it.

(Translated by Google) The snow quality is often poor, probably because of the sun. It's quite difficult when it snows. It's like a maze, so if you like exploration, it might suit you. Banked slalom Some are nice. Shiga Kogen has different characteristics on the slopes, so it's fun to explore the place that suits you. (Original) 日に当たるためか雪質は悪い事が多い。降雪時はなかなか。 なんか迷路みたいな作りなんで探索が好きなら合うんじゃないかと。バンクドスラロームてきなものもあり。 志賀高原はゲレンデで特徴が違うので自分にあった所を探索するのも楽しいです。

(Translated by Google) For intermediate and advanced students. The contact course is very scary. There seems to be an Olympic course, but I didn't understand it because there wasn't much guidance. Not recommended for beginners. (Original) 中上級者向け。 連絡コースがとても怖い。オリンピックコースもあるようですが案内があまり無くよくわかりませんでした。 初心者にはおすすめできません。

Big ski resort and plentiful slope

余計なお世話でしょうけど、ゴンドラをどうにかしたほうが良いかと思います。あれこそが志賀高原の象徴だと思います。 (Translated by Google) I know it's an unnecessary hassle, but I think it would be better to do something about the gondola. I think that is the symbol of Shiga Kogen.

東館山は滑ってませんが、一ノ瀬、タンネ、高天ヶ原は雪質最高でした。 (Translated by Google) Higashidateyama was not snowy, but Ichinose, Tanne, and Takamagahara had the best snow quality.

It was a nice ski area! 良いスキー場です (Translated by Google) It was a nice ski area! It's a good ski resort

長野オリンピックの大回転コースがあり、晴天の日にはゴンドラの山頂駅舎にある200°カフェで食事をしながら標高2000mの大展望を楽しめます。その後には、中上級者はオリンピックの大回転コース、初級者は林間コースのロングランが待ってますよ😄。寺子屋、一ノ瀬へもスムーズに滑り込めます👍。 (Translated by Google) There is a giant slalom course for the Nagano Olympics, and on clear days, you can enjoy a great view of 2000 meters above sea level while having a meal at the 200° Café located at the gondola station building at the top of the mountain. After that, the Olympic giant slalom course awaits intermediate and advanced skiers, while the long run on the forest course awaits beginners😄. You can smoothly slip into Terakoya and Ichinose👍.

標高2000Mからの景色が、まるで雲の上に居るような感じで綺麗でした😄 (Translated by Google) The view from an altitude of 2000m was so beautiful that it felt like being above the clouds😄

Huge resort, lots of options, still the authentic Japanese experience

Amazing courses with beautiful view. JAPOW confirmed.

Excellent undiscovered and uncrowded resort with a variety of runs good for families with small kids. One huge complaint: most ski hills have the ashtray smoking pit right beside the entrance, these guys went one step further and connected the furnace intake to the smoking room so it pumps all the second hand smoke in to the restaurant and ski shop. Effin brilliant.

Beautiful resort! Definitely coming back. Best skiing in my life

Nice selection of slopes und connection to rest of Shiga Kogen resort. The lifts are very outdated

You can rent snowshoes for 1000 yen and walk through the forest where there’s a road covered in snow. It was a beautiful experience.

So this is more a review of the mountain area itself. Overall awesome area to go to when visiting Shiga Kogen for boarding/skiing. It's definitely worth the short walk from Gondola 1. Highly recommend taking glade runs as the powder in the trees was awesome. I also took a lesson from the international ski school at the resort and really got a lot from it.

Seems to be the biggest ski resort in Japan ( if you include all connections). No line up no waiting for lifts. All difficulty available. Very wide trails available perfect for beginners.

2月土曜の9時頃行きました、とても混んでおりほぼ駐車場は満車でしたが第一駐車場には駐車できました。 山頂までのアクセスはリフトの回数はあまりないのですが大型ゴンドラの待ち時間がとにかく長く15分毎に運行されてるそうですが1時間は待ちました。 ゲレンデの広さの割に人が多いのとゲレンデの真ん中などに多くの座り込みのボーダーが多く気持ちよくは滑れましんでした。 しかしゴンドラ降りてからの景色は天気も良くとても素晴らしい景色で圧巻されました。 食事はゴンドラ降りてすぐのレストランに行きましたが広い訳ではないので昼前後1時間はほぼ満席の状態でした、ラーメンをいただきましたが写真の盛りと違い実際の物は見栄えがいまいちでご飯物の方が美味しそうでした。 休憩するならこのレストランの下の階のトイレ横のテーブルが比較的空いていて良いです。 (Translated by Google) I went around 9 o'clock on Saturday in February, it was very crowded and the parking lot was almost full, but I was able to park in the first parking lot. Access to the top of the mountain does not have many lifts, but the waiting time for the large gondola is long and it seems that it is operated every 15 minutes, but I waited for 1 hour. There were a lot of people for the size of the slopes, and there were many sitting boarders in the middle of the slopes, so I was able to ski comfortably. However, the scenery after getting off the gondola was amazing with good weather. For dinner, I went to a restaurant right after getting off the gondola, but it wasn't that big, so it was almost full for about an hour before and after lunch. Things tasted better. If you want to take a break, the table next to the toilet on the lower floor of this restaurant is relatively empty.

The slopes and snow conditions are decent. There are 4 beginner slopes, however due to a long holiday, it's a little busy. The view from the top is stunning (have to take a Gondola 🚠), and with the freezing temps, I warmly recommended the SORA terrace's Cafe Mocha ☕

So many hotels results in too many students, we saw so many boards flying off the slopes very scary and not very safe. Another point to highlight is the one black is helmet mandatory who’s is questionable, they don’t even offer helmets on top for a quick run down. My opinion if you make helmet mandatory you need to provide for free. It’s the only resort that I know off so far in Japan that has this restriction. Won’t come again that’s for sure.

スキー場の全体評価は(初心者おすすめ)☆5 ⚠️春スキーの場合、ロープウェイ先のコース要注意⚠️ スタッフさんの評価は☆4.2 コースの評価は☆4 お客さんのマナーの良さは☆3.5 sora terrace Cafe評価☆5 スキー場全体を通して、なだらかで横も比較的広い印象がありました。 ボードデビューにおすすめと謳っているだけあって、ボード率がほかと比べても高いように感じて、初心者が中でも割合を占めているように思いました。 雰囲気的にもガンガン飛ばすよりかは、 ガンガン練習していこう！コケてなんぼ！ という空気感があり、練習しやすいとおもいました。 ただ、初心者･学生が多めのため、コース内真ん中めでの立ち往生、ボーダーの装着マナー？が悪いように感じました……。これに関しては、経験者がしっかりと伝えてあげないと後続者に迷惑もかかるし、本人たちにも危害が加わる恐れがあるので伝えてあげて欲しいですね。 コース評価として、初級7割･中級1割･上級2割の割り振りかな？？？体感として。 中級コースは急というよりかは狭め。 春スキーは花粉症対策必須コースでした(笑) 私的にはもう少し急な中級者コースが欲しかったです(初級と上級の間の角度が欲しい)。上級者コースは本当に上級者用で、滑れる人カッコイイですね✨ 湯田中駅に向かうシャトルバスが定期的にあるので、宿泊でコンビニに行きたい方がいればおすすめ🙆‍♀️また、駅から徒歩7分くらいにあるプリン屋さんが本当におすすめです！！ 竜王スキーパーク･湯田中駅最寄りのプリン屋さん共にまたお邪魔します！ (Translated by Google) The overall evaluation of the ski resort is (recommended for beginners) ☆ 5 ⚠️For spring skiing, be careful of the ropeway course⚠️ The staff's evaluation is ☆ 4.2 Course rating is ☆ 4 Good customer manners are ☆ 3.5 Sora terrace Cafe rated ☆ 5 Throughout the ski resort, I had the impression that it was gentle and relatively wide. As it is recommended for board debuts, I felt that the board rate was higher than others, and I thought that beginners accounted for the percentage. In terms of atmosphere, rather than blowing hard, Let's practice hard! Moss! There was a feeling of air, and I thought it was easy to practice. However, because there are a lot of beginners and students, I got stuck in the middle of the course, and wearing a border? I felt bad.... Regarding this, if the experienced people do not properly convey it, it will cause trouble for the successors, and there is a risk that the people themselves will be harmed, so I would like you to tell them. As a course evaluation, is it an allocation of 70% for beginners, 10% for intermediate, and 20% for advanced? ? ? as a bodily sensation. The intermediate course is narrow rather than steep. Spring skiing was a must-have course for hay fever measures (laughs) Personally, I wanted a steeper intermediate course (I want an angle between beginner and advanced). The advanced course is really for advanced skiers, and people who can ski are cool ✨ There is a regular shuttle bus to Yudanaka Station, so if you want to go to a convenience store during your stay, I recommend it 🙆 ♀️ Also, I really recommend the pudding shop, which is about a 7-minute walk from the station! ! I will visit Ryuoo Ski Park and the pudding shop near Yudanaka Station again!

Avoid Friday-Sunday. Extremely crowded, packed with teen and uni students. We had 20-40 minute waits for just about every chair after 9am until lunch and picks up again after 1pm The worst part was just how dangerous the mountain was, in two days of skiing I saw 20+ loose snowboards flying down the hill and smashing into kids and other riders, and consist out of control snowboarders crashing into other riders. Groups of beginner snowboarders would sit mid run side by side across the whole face with their backs turned blocking the entire slope. I saw one uni aged student let go of her snowboard while sitting in the middle of the slope on her cell phone, waited for the board to smash into other riders then went immediately back on her phone and ignored her board down the hill and the people she just hit at the bottom of the chair.. The mountain allows skis and snowboards to be carried onto the lifts which pass over every run area. I didn’t see a single ski patrol or enforcement of any sort of safety protocol around the lift drop off area or slopes. Of the 25+ mountains I’ve skied in Japan this was by far the most busy, chaotic and dangerous mountain I’ve been to.

Great slopes for people of all skill levels - and stunning views of the mountains.

毎年行ってます。年越しで花火が上がるゲレンデです。雪質が良いスキー場でナイターもできます。特にゴンドラで山頂に行くと特に良い景色、コースです。レストランも多く初心者でも利用しやすいゲレンデです。ホテルも多く、ボロ宿に泊まるのが嫌な人には良いゲレンデですかね。しかし、良いホテルとは決して思わないように。最低限のホテルがほとんどです。基本的にチェックアウト後は金払えば風呂入れます。 ただコースが少ないので飽きてきます。 初心者コースに少しだけボックスとかが置かれます。 昔は結構キッカーとかパークあったけどもう廃れてきてるんで、力は入ってないゲレンデになってきてます。もう主流は新潟かなぁ。 (Translated by Google) I go there every year. It is a slope where fireworks go up on New Year's Eve. Night skiing is also possible at ski resorts with good snow quality. Especially if you go to the top of the mountain by gondola, it is a course with a particularly good view. There are many restaurants and the slopes are easy to use even for beginners. There are many hotels, so it's a good slope for people who don't like staying in rags. But never think of it as a good hotel. Most hotels are minimal. Basically, after checking out, you can take a bath if you pay. However, I get bored because there are few courses. A few boxes are placed in the beginner's course. In the past, there were quite a few kickers and parks, but they are becoming obsolete, and the slopes are becoming less powerful. I wonder if the mainstream is already niigata.

So difficult to get to the top, you need to take 2 ski lifts before using the mega gondola. Worth the effort, big views!

Great for beginners. Staff are generally nice and helpful However, if you are looking for anything harder than green runs, look elsewhere. Ski patrol at this resort won't allow you to enter the "expert" area if you don't have a helmet or your own ski/board from home. Ridiculous. When making the reservation or purchasing a lift token, It's not made obvious that your own equipment is necessary. I feel shafted. Scammed. To say the least. Otherwise, it's a beautiful place to ski

30-min travel from Yudanaka station with absolutely amazing view. The place is known for beginners and provides lessons. They also rent full set of boards, clothes, shoes, etc. We had no prior experience and went there asking for easier board (ski vs. Snowboard); was provided with ski only to find out there was no lesson for skiing since the place is mainly for snowboard, which is a strong downside for complete novices.

Experience is soo amazing!!🤩 The thrill was so exciting!! If your from the top of hill you can slide for almost 10~15 minutes or even more even if your fast. The snow slides are connected to each other. There’s a place called Skyland Station(a 10-minute ride up to the top of the hill) it’s soooo high!! It was exciting but I was soooo afraid of it 😳 😱 😆 !!! Just an aerophobia 😂 ,anyways it’s a FREE ride just use your card. You will also get a FREE 500Yen drinks 🍹 up in Skyland Station while experience the top of the mountains 😊 If your expert enough you can try the snow slide ( skiing) from Skyland station below. It’s very dangerous for me but you can try if you are expert enough!! Please be careful and enjoy!!! Yes ob course, there is a card uses for lifts, and they also provide night snow slides (skiing) but up to 9 pm only. From the top of Skyland Station there is still another snow slides up hill 😂 I though it was the end but still you can ride lifts and slide uphill 😂 I never expected that. They also provide foods for dinner and breakfast maybe additional around 2000~3000yen/day if I remember it correctly. Make sure to bring a copy of your covid certificate so you can get a discount. The rest of it 😉 Have a great day ahead!!!

Taking the Gondola to the top was a wonderful experience. We skied here during mid February, snow on the lower slopes can become hard and very slippery on sunny day but snow on the top mountain was steadily soft, powder and thick. There was more fun to either ski or snowboard among the forest which could only be found on the top!!

Apart from shredding in powdery snow, you can ride a gondola going to Sora Terrace and get good food with good refreshments with the best view.

Not a very big mountain, but lots of fun regardless. The hardest course is called Kiotoshi and is only accessible from the peak and the staff require you to be wearing a helmet, so come prepared. They have lots of restaurants and cafes scattered around the mountain as well.

view is wide open and spectacular. Cafe is cozy.

Here is the top of Mt. Yokote, easy to get the top by lift and or elevator. It’s fantastic to view Japanese Alps fro the top of Yokote, absolutely exclusive view.

(Translated by Google) I went there on a sunny day during Golden Week. I was fine with two thin long sleeves. It's truly a wonderful view. It looks like an ocean wave, but it's actually a mountain. (Original) ゴールデンウィーク、晴天の中行きました。薄い長袖2枚でも平気でした。ホントに素晴らしい眺めです。海の波に見えますが山なんですね。

(Translated by Google) During the August holidays, I took the lift from Shibu Pass to the top. The temperature at the top is a chilly 17 degrees. You can get on the lift right away. There was also a free bus. The view of the sky was amazing. Clouds pass in front of me. (Original) 8月連休、渋峠からリフトで頂上に行きました。頂上は気温17度と肌寒いです。リフトにはすぐに乗れます。無料バスも出てました。満天ビューは最高でした。目の前を雲が流れて行きます。

(Translated by Google) Visited at the end of August. The weather was good, and I was able to see Shiga Kogen through the clouds. It's amazing that you can easily enjoy this altitude without having to climb! We are grateful to those who have arranged all the facilities. There are a lot of red dragonflies (Akiakane). (Original) 8月末に訪問。天気も良く、雲越しに志賀高原を見渡すことができました。 この標高を登山せずに気軽に楽しめるのはすごい！あらゆる設備を整えてくださっている方々に感謝です。 赤トンボ（アキアカネ）がたくさんいます。

(Translated by Google) Visited in August. Although the temperature was close to 35 degrees, the temperature at the top was below 20 degrees. Even if you visit on a sunny day, it's raining at the top and it's very cold. We recommend that you bring two long sleeves and a raincoat to ride the lift. It's quite foggy near the top, so if you're not confident driving a car, you might want to consider where to get on the lift. Considering the atmosphere, summer resort, and attraction as a tourist destination, I think it is a wonderful place that you should definitely visit. (Original) 8月に訪問。 気温35度近いのに、頂上は20度以下位の気温。 晴れの日に訪問しても、頂上は雨が降っていたりしてとても寒い。 長袖2枚、カッパなどを持参してリフトに乗ることを推奨します。 頂上付近はかなり霧が濃いので、車の運転も自信がない方は、どこからリフトに乗るか検討した方が良いと思います。 雰囲気と避暑地、観光地としての魅力を考えると、ぜひ訪問した方が良い素晴らしい場所だと思います。

(Translated by Google) I went to see the autumn leaves, but it seemed like it was still a little early. But I was able to see the beautiful scenery, breathe in the fresh air, and feel refreshed. The lift can be scary for people who are afraid of heights. (Original) 紅葉を見に行ってきましたが、まだちょっと早かったみたい。でもいい景色見ていい空気吸ってリフレッシュできました。リフトは高所恐怖症の人には怖いかも。

Terrible. I've been anticipating to visit for 1 year and only 2 green slopes and chairlifts are open today. Snow is too icy, there is not intention to use the snow cannons. I paid for the full price for the ski pass but I can use less than half the chairlifts; 2 out the 15 ski slopes. Don't visit.

Loved it, combined with Okushiga it makes a nice resort with a lot of variety. Nothing fancy, pure local skiing.

At Mount Yakebitai, the gondola takes you from the Prince Hotel to the top (abt 7 min). From the top, you can ski down with beautiful scenery (abt 10-20 min)

Best area to rip fresh pow ! Snowboaders dream

Short runs, slow lifts, green runs crowded with bus loads of ski school students. The region has had no investment for decades. There are much better areas to ski in Japan.

Spectacular! One of the best in the region. Heaps of runs of all types.

best in Japan！any ski-maniac should come！
