A Complete Guide to Skiing in Shiga Kogen for Your First New Year Trip

A complete guide to family skiing in Shiga Kogen for your first New Year trip🏂

For their first New Year trip, they finally made it to the long-awaited Nagano Shiga Kogen. Upon returning, they couldn't stop talking about the beautiful scenery. After calculating the expenses, I found it to be quite cost-effective. Here's a reference for those who are planning to go.

💰Overall Expenses
✈️Airfare: 4,000 for one adult and one child
🚄Shinkansen: Tokyo-Nagano 600 for one adult and one child
🚌Bus: Nagano Station-near the hotel 200 for one adult and one child
🏨Accommodation: Half board (breakfast and dinner) 600
🛍️Other expenses: 1,000
Total cost: Around 3,500💰 per person

❓Transportation
Beijing-Tokyo
Take the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagano Station
Transfer to a special bus to Shiga Kogen

❓Accommodation
If you want to ski on different slopes on the east and west sides, it is recommended to stay in a hotel around the Shiga Kogen Grand Ski Area. Choose according to your budget. This time, they booked a hotel with friends, including half board (breakfast and dinner), which was cost-effective, but the environment was just average.

❓Ski Resort
This time, they checked in at the Yakushiyama Ski Resort and the Yokoteyama Ski Resort. Dad 👨 said that if you only choose one ski resort, he strongly recommends Yokoteyama. The scenery is 💯.
