For the first time you can now experience the quality Okushiga backcountry powder 

 

 
Okushiga has changed a lot under new ownership and now both skiers and snowboarders can ride in off-piste skiing areas.

 

 

Backcountry skiing / boarding outside the designated off piste areas is also allowed with a professional guide.

We would recommend to have a guide on your first day to get to know the runs, which is included in the package below.

If you want to book the guide for extra days the cost is 45,000 yen per day for up to 6 people, which we can book for you before or during your trip.

 

 

 

If you base yourself at Okushiga, you can go hunt the first track in the off-piste areas. 

The best place to stay in Okushiga would be Okushiga Kogen Hotel which caters well for English speaking guests.

Okushiga Kogen Ski Resort is the most family friendly area in Shiga Kogen, which is the largest ski resort in Japan.
Okushiga has group and private lessons in English and also a childcare facility within the resort making it a great choice for families.

 

We suggest the  Okushiga Kogen Hotel which is ski in ski out and has a kids play room where parents can use under their supervision. 

 

 

Okushiga Kogen would be suited to families who would like to settle into the area with no hassle of traveling to other areas for lessons or dining out.

But, If you would prefer having dine out options, we would suggest to stay in the Ichinose area at Chalet Shiga. We also have another ski in ski out option in the Yakebitaiyama area, which is Shiga Kogen Prince Hotel and is one of our most popular choices.
