Shiga Kogen Snow Monkey Powder Long Weekend
Shiga Kogen Snow Monkey Powder Long Weekend
View DatesSave 4000yen off 2025/26 overnight snow trips! Ends Aug 31st.
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 skiier/boarder, from first-timers to advanced.
This long weekend trip is one of our most popular trips, always booking out well in advance. It's peak powder time; in previous seasons we have seen over a metre fall within 24 hours!
Shiga Kogen is also famous for the onsen bathing snow monkeys! The Shiga Kogen snow monkeys are a definite must see and we will be visiting the monkey onsen on the final day of the trip. The snow monkeys have lived in the Shiga Kogen area for several generations and come down from the mountains each day to bath in the natural hot springs at the base. We will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the hot spring bathing monkeys in their natural habitat.

Big thanks to the team for such a well-organized trip! Everyone was so kind and helpful, which made everything run smoothly. I also got to make a bunch of new friends—definitely a trip to remember!
It was my first time seeing snow and this trip made it an amazing and a memorable experience!. The instructors were very good and patient with us and helped us a lot during the beginners course. Even sudden emergencies were handled very professionally and efficiently and I had one of the best times ever here! It was amazing!
We had very good long week end- Great staff team. Thank you
The hotel and all logistics arrangements were good. I always look forward to TSC trip in Shiga Kogen!
Perfect timing for powder snow. Hotel was old Japanese style, food is decent. Easy access to Alpina rental and gondola right next to it.
Very good weekend! Conditions were pretty good. Shiga resort is quite big and have runs for all kind of levels, including some tree runs. And as always, the staff super friendly and helpful
Super long week end. Very good organisation.
Amazing weekend! Great party!
Great trip with everything covered, from hotel/food/attractions etc. Everything was really efficient in regards to rentals and gear, like having us try them on the night before so there was no hustle for that in the morning. I also really appreciated the late check out (1PM). It's not very often you're able to sleep in on a trip so that was a great breather after two days of snowboarding! Would like to go again and would definitely recommend to friends.
We had a very good trip as usual, good organisation in every single details, great team. Good weather and fresh powder snow. I will join again.
