Reviewed By Moshi M - Tokyo, Japan
It’s roughly a 25-minute walk up the designated trail to see the famous snow monkeys in their natural habitat. That said, it was a particularly warm day in March, which meant that melting ice turned the trail into a muddy mess. Luckily, visitors can rent boots (800 yen/pair) at the Tourist Information Center. I opted for the rental and saved myself the headache of cleaning up muddy shoes & pants. Once you enter the Snow Monkey Park, it truly is monkeys galore! However, as the temperatures rise with the coming of spring, don’t expect to see many monkeys bathing in the onsen. We only saw one monkey taking a dip mid-March.

Shiga Kogan is a vast network of resorts. Ski somewhere different every day for a two weeks and you will never get bored. Probably my favourite resort in Japan. Negatives: limited nightlife/ restsurants/bars. Snowboarders will note a lack of park areas (but who cares?) Thousands of school kids .... Everywhere. However, the skiing is amazing and that's what we go there for.

All of the hard runs were closed leaving only easy green runs open, that was a pity after the 1 hour bus ride.
The runs that were open mainly followed summer roads up the mountain and were a real bottleneck of learners making it almost impossible to pass. Think lines of people pizza turning.
When you get past those sections it's almost flat which means no speed.
The Crumpet Cafe directly above the lift is great, it used to be a Starbucks.

Shiga Kogen is the biggest ski area in Japan, and it has 19 connected ski resorts. The main resort here is Yakebitaiyama that offers various ski trails for all levels on a huge hill covered with “Platinum Snow”. There are 3 Shiga Kogen Prince Hotels (East, South and West) at the base of Yakebitaiyama. This area is also popular for Snow Monkey watching.

This ski area lies between Ichinose and Okushigakogen and incorporates two gondolas and several lifts. The runs are wide and cruisy, with some steeps and good variety. It would be an enjoyable "resort" by itself but with the easy links to other areas there's really something for every skier or boarder to enjoy.

Kita Shiga Ryuoo Ski Park is located in the northern region of Nagano Prefecture, takes half and hour from Nagano station by NAGANO dentetsu train. There is an excellent variety of courses at the resort catering for all skill levels, including a selection of ungroomed powder courses. The resort also caters for those looking for snow activities as well as skiing and snowboarding.The Kiotoshi courses are found connecting the top Sky Land area of the resort and the Valley Area. If you're looking for deep fresh powder snow on ungroomed areas, then this is the place for you. As these courses are for advanced riders, beginners are advised to use the ropeway to go down from the Sky Land area to the Valley Area rather than challenge these courses.

Having never been on skis in our lives we booked a lesson at the Ryuoo International Snow Academy. Our instructor Tony was amazing, spoke 4 languages at least ans had my wife and 7 year old daughter skiing solo after just 4 hours of instruction. Tony was kind and patient and had a great attitude and made the experience really memorable for us. On our second day we were able to get on the slopes with no assistance whatsoever and we highly recommend Tony and the school to anyone wanting to try skiing for the first time.

詳細は群馬県のホームページに詳しく掲載されていますので、そちらでご確認ください。規制の変更は２０１７年６月１５日午前８時からとなっています。
草津白根山周辺の夜間通行止めや、駐車場の駐停車禁止規制は解除されましたが、湯釜から半径５００ｍ以内の立入禁止措置は継続です。従って、白根レストハウスの駐車場に車を停めて下車しても、特に何かが見えるわけではありません。
この志賀草津高原ルート、道幅が狭く急坂が続くのに、自転車でここを制覇しようとする人が多いです。そして、登りの急坂で息切れしてふらついている自転車が非常に多く、自動車と接触しそうになっているのを何回か見かけました。運転する方は要注意です。
白根山の先、志賀高原側は渋峠にかけてまずまずの眺望です。但し、駐車場でもない所の路肩に停車して、渋滞を引き起こしている不心得者もいるので、これまた注意が必要です。

Great for beginners. Most unusual rope tow at the top. Ski through tunnels which is fun. The return to the bus terminal is a killer - hard to find and not easy to get to. This could be designed better - perhaps the entire Shigakogen area needs a great town planner as there's too much pushing, walking and shuffling getting around. It's definitely not easy.

Reviewed By 義隆 長
スキー場のロープウェイを使い1770メートルまで上がり昼間は散策、雲海、夕日、景色を楽しめ、夜は夜景と星を楽しむという試み。まあ、山ですから天候は気まぐれで私が行った時も何故かロープウェイ途中より嵐の様な雨で何も見えず。こんな事ロープウェイやリフトが完備していればどこでもできるじゃんと思うのは間違い。まず頂上にはバブルの頃にヘリコプターで材料を吊って作ったというかなりきれいで現代的なカフェレストランがある。また湯田中駅からマイクロバスの定期運行。ロープウェイは100何十人乗りの大型の物ですが、天候不順を見越したキャンセルで客はたった4人でも添乗員の説明付き。大変なプラスマイナスのわからない努力が必要です。かなり若いスタッフの金銭だけではない努力を感じ入りました。結局私達は頂上のソラカフェレストランに1時間強居ただけでまたロープウェイで降りてきましたが、帰りは一部晴れ、下の町の夜景がきれいでした。そこから30分マイクロバスに揺られ湯田中温泉の宿に着きました。3時間かかりましたが無駄とは思いませんでしたし試みは最高だと思いました。又、トライします。
