Shiga Kogen Snow Monkey Powder Weekend
Overview
Shiga Kogen is by far Japan's biggest ski resort area, with 18 interconnected ski resorts all accessible with the one lift pass. The high altitude brings consistently great snow conditions and with over 80kms of courses and 70 lifts, the resort is great for all levels of skier/boarder, from first timers to advanced. This trip also includes an optional visit to see the famous snow monkeys soaking in hot springs, free ski/snowboard lessons and a fun party event 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 crowds 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 party featuring a bar, music and party games. 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

Been on this trip twice now, and both times have been great! TSC is consistently well organized every year. Keep it up!
Such a nice powder weekend!
Had an amazing time on the trip! The staff were super friendly and helpful throughout, and I really appreciated the good vibes. Met so many awesome people—already looking forward to the next one!
As usual, great trip! Nice and helpful guides, accommodation close to the gondola, good company and even live music this time! Thank you :)
During one of the biggest storms this year, the bus driver was incredible—keeping us safe as we drove there and back and helping those who went to the Snow Monkeys have a great time. The staff, as always with TSC, was helpful and energetic, and always keeping us on time. The hotel is very convenient to the slopes and rental counter, bus stop (for access to more advanced slopes), comfortable & warm, also with a large onsen. It’s an average-aged Japanese hotel, but the staff is also helpful and kind. Food is relatively simple, but good. Shiga Kogen is a great resort, especially with friends—it’s a bit complicated so, make sure to as TSC for advice before heading out & have a map. Had a great time & would love to come again!
It was amazing and im already looking for the next trip with them! Thanks for all the great management and fun!
My 5th trip with TSC, third time in Shiga Kougen. It's just an awesome resort, I'll be back here again for a long weekend next month. So many new people to hang with, the vibes were good the powder was even better.
