Destination for up-close viewing of snow monkeys in a secluded park accessible by long, scenic walk.
Slide 1 of 8
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stow Monkey Park is such a wonderful experience! The walk up to the park is beautiful — a shaded path along a peaceful stream surrounded by tall trees, which makes the journey as enjoyable as the destination. The entrance fee is very reasonable at just 800 yen. The park is well maintained, with public restroom and a free drinking water machine available, plus a nice little gift shop. Watching the monkeys up close in their natural setting was absolutely incredible — truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!
Olga L — Google review
Came here because of samsara! Knew it would be a magical place and it truly was. Forewarning,you can't guarantee that you'll see any monkeys. I got there and was told only 1 monkey is out. Got there and spent 15mins looking for him, to find he was hiding behind me and not in the bath! Lol Even without the monkeys it's a lovely spot with stunning views and really nice warm water! If you have any disabilities or struggle walking I'd reconsider. My old man has COPD and struggled to get there (we parked in the car park) otherwise it's just a good climb of stairs. Not much else there, I believe there used to be a restaurant and hotel. But looks closed down. Parking was cheap. Plenty of spots.

Second visit to park, both in November but many years apart........first time the monkeys did not come down from the mountain - mating season we were told !!! The visit of 17th November 2025 was especially enjoyable with a very large number of monkeys roaming around in the park and using the hot pool. It was particularly fortunate to be with the monkeys considering they had been absent from the park for several days before our visit. The 30 minute easy walk through the forest to the park was also a memorable experience. Anyone visiting Nagano should make a visit a priority.
Stephen J — Google review
Mixed feelings about this place. Firstly, the area itself is gorgeous. The walk to the park through the forest and past the geyser are beautiful. But the monkey park operation is quite small. I can see how this place would be packed instantly. Secondly, nothing much about any of this can be considered wild or natural. The hot spring pool there is man-made. And they lure the monkeys over with food via daily feeding sessions. That being said, we did manage to see 2 monkeys in the early morning who were just passing through (no food offered and not in the hot spring), so I will call that a win. But set expectations properly.
Ilse E — Google review
Look at these little pricks, they’ve got everything! The attention, the hot water baths, 2 meals a day from the park’s authority, free meds and on top of that, they tried to steal my camera. Despite all, they’re so lovable, I forgave them! The habitat of the snow monkeys is located at a 15-minute taxi ride from Yudanaka, followed by an enjoyable 30-minute walk through the woods on a well-maintained hilly gravel path to Jigokudani Yaen-Koen. Once out of the taxi and walking towards the park from the road, don’t miss the geysers here and there; they may surprise you anyways as they burst sporadically. Whenever you hear a drum-like sound, it’s only one of the adult monkeys running their 200-lbs or so (90 kg) down the hills, but don’t be scared as they are quite sociable. Do mind your pockets and accessories though, because they have some surprising pick-pocket skills and they’re not shy about them. As for the smaller ones, they run like crazy and play joyfully. One took my shoulder as a prop when jumping between 2 fences. When the big ones come out of the water, take a few steps back from them, because they skillfully shake-off the water on tourists; it seems to amuse them. Have fun and cheers!
Stephan O — Google review
Super cool! Unfortunately they don’t come out often in the autumn. I recommend winter! They posted a schedule to show the history of when monkeys have come over the last two months. We got lucky we saw 2 but apparently at peak you’d see 150 but still so worth it!
Blog H — Google review
It’s not cold enough yet for the monkeys to go in the water so there is a chance you won’t see monkeys swimming or any monkeys at all. I have been told that in the start of december it starts getting cold enough. But it looks still very nice if there are some monkeys. Price is 800 yen. The walk takes about 30/40 minutes but it’s not a hard walk.
Niek D — Google review
It was very nice to see the wildlife in their own environment! We had considered going to the zoo with our kid but this little walk in the mountains was so enjoyable. We almost didn’t get to see any monkeys but then just as we were about to leave, a few came down to say Konnichiwa! We feel very lucky!

(Translated by Google) The cafe at the top of the mountain is beautiful and has a great view. The high altitude is also good. There are also exhibits related to the Nagano Olympics and courses used there. On the other hand, the gondola is not good. It's old, noisy, seats only 4, and has a small capacity. I know it costs money, but I'd like to do something about it. (Original) 山頂のカフェは綺麗で見晴らしもいいです。標高が高いのもよし。長野オリンピック関連の展示や、そこで使われたコースもあります。 一方でゴンドラがイマイチ。古いし音がうるさく、4人乗りでキャパも小さい。お金がかかるのはわかるが何とかしてほしいなぁ。

Lifts are very outdated and there is only a small beginner slope. If you progress up the mountain and or want to explore other connected resorts, then you really must be at least intermediate level to enjoy this. Only one way down from the Hotel side of the resort if you aren’t ready for black diamond, which is an intermediate tight road full of snow boarders that have chopped it to pieces by mid morning. I don’t intend to come back but would stay in other areas of Okashiga Kogen

Weather wasn't the best when we skied there (freezing cold and snowing heavily). Lifts are slow and old. Not many runs for beginners and some green runs are quite difficult. There is a Gondola to escape the weather and a few restaurants to choose from. Not an easy traverse to Yakebitaiyama
Peter L — Google review
Excellent undiscovered and uncrowded resort with a variety of runs good for families with small kids. One huge complaint: most ski hills have the ashtray smoking pit right beside the entrance, these guys went one step further and connected the furnace intake to the smoking room so it pumps all the second hand smoke in to the restaurant and ski shop. Effin brilliant.

So this is more a review of the mountain area itself. Overall awesome area to go to when visiting Shiga Kogen for boarding/skiing. It's definitely worth the short walk from Gondola 1. Highly recommend taking glade runs as the powder in the trees was awesome. I also took a lesson from the international ski school at the resort and really got a lot from it.

Experience is soo amazing!!🤩 The thrill was so exciting!! If your from the top of hill you can slide for almost 10~15 minutes or even more even if your fast. The snow slides are connected to each other. There’s a place called Skyland Station(a 10-minute ride up to the top of the hill) it’s soooo high!! It was exciting but I was soooo afraid of it 😳 😱 😆 !!! Just an aerophobia 😂 ,anyways it’s a FREE ride just use your card. You will also get a FREE 500Yen drinks 🍹 up in Skyland Station while experience the top of the mountains 😊 If your expert enough you can try the snow slide ( skiing) from Skyland station below. It’s very dangerous for me but you can try if you are expert enough!! Please be careful and enjoy!!! Yes ob course, there is a card uses for lifts, and they also provide night snow slides (skiing) but up to 9 pm only. From the top of Skyland Station there is still another snow slides up hill 😂 I though it was the end but still you can ride lifts and slide uphill 😂 I never expected that. They also provide foods for dinner and breakfast maybe additional around 2000~3000yen/day if I remember it correctly. Make sure to bring a copy of your covid certificate so you can get a discount. The rest of it 😉 Have a great day ahead!!!

Decent slopes with wide areas for dodging all of the snowboarders relaxing (???) on the slopes. However, the upper and lower areas of the mountain are split by an unbearably slow gondola ride that only operates once every 20 minutes. Plus, the only slopes connecting the upper and lower areas are three "advanced skiers only" areas (US equiv.: double or triple black diamond) that are too steep for most avid skiers/boarders. There are plenty of food options around the slopes, which is very nice, but expect resort prices (e.g., a Japanese pint will be ~¥1000)
Chris B — Google review
Not a very large mountain resort but still fun. All of the runs are connected so you're able to ride from the top all the way down to the carpark if you want. Decent powder at the top even though it was quite sunny today. Rental boards/skis are not allowed on the runs right under the Sora Cafe (think it's due to bushland/trees) and you'll need a helmet if you plan to ride there. Not a lot of English speakers or signs outside of the hotels but we were able to get by. Most places (hotel, rentals, restaurants, ski passes) take card but the Yamazaki convenience store nearby doesn't (they do accept PayPay though). Take a shuttle from Yudanaka (free) or Iiyama (reserve ahead of time) to get here.

The slopes and snow conditions are decent. There are 4 beginner slopes, however due to a long holiday, it's a little busy. The view from the top is stunning (have to take a Gondola 🚠), and with the freezing temps, I warmly recommended the SORA terrace's Cafe Mocha ☕
T P — Google review
Taking the Gondola to the top was a wonderful experience. We skied here during mid February, snow on the lower slopes can become hard and very slippery on sunny day but snow on the top mountain was steadily soft, powder and thick. There was more fun to either ski or snowboard among the forest which could only be found on the top!!
Keewa K — Google review
Not a very big mountain, but lots of fun regardless. The hardest course is called Kiotoshi and is only accessible from the peak and the staff require you to be wearing a helmet, so come prepared. They have lots of restaurants and cafes scattered around the mountain as well.

Apart from shredding in powdery snow, you can ride a gondola going to Sora Terrace and get good food with good refreshments with the best view.

I love Yokoteyama! Despite the slow ski lifts, the view from the lifts is insane! Once you get to the top of the mountain, the view is amazing on all four sides! There are mountains as far as the eye can see, and you might even get to see a sea of clouds! The crumpet shop inside is also amazing, so don’t miss a chance to enjoy those!

(Translated by Google) This cafe is located on the second floor of the lift station. They serve CRUMPET, which looks like a pancake, but is actually a crispy bread dish with sauce and cream cheese on top. It was incredibly delicious, but they sold out by 2 PM (just in time). There's a decent amount of seating, but it can get full depending on the time of day. It takes a while for food to be served, but it's definitely worth a try. Unfortunately, the clouds obscured the view, but the wind was strong and I could see Yokoteyama Drive-In through the gaps, which was beautiful! (Original) リフト乗り場2階にあるカフェです。 CRUMPETっていうパンケーキのような見た目ですが、カリカリのパンにソースとクリームチーズがかかったパンみたいな食べ物でした。 めちゃくちゃ美味しかったんですが、14時過ぎには完売してました。(ギリギリセーフ) 席数はそこそこありますが、時間帯によっては満席に。 提供に少し時間かかりますが、ぜひ食べてみてください。 あいにく雲がかかつてて景色は見れませんでしたが、風が強く隙間から横手山ドライブインが見えて綺麗でした！

(Translated by Google) I headed to high-altitude Mt. Yokote to escape the heat that has been going on day after day. I've been coming here to ski for 30 years, but this was my first time in the green season. From the rooftop of the building at the end of the Skyrator and summer mountain lift, you can enjoy a truly spectacular view of the Shiga-Kusazu Road and, on a clear day, even the Northern Alps, making for a truly panoramic view from an altitude of 2,307m. The bakery at Yokoteyama Hütte at the top of the mountain was also popular and bustling with customers. (Original) 連日の暑さから逃れようと標高の高い横手山に行きました。 スキーでは30年来訪れていますが、グリーンシーズンは初めです。 志賀草津道路の絶景とスカイレーター＆夏山リフトの終点の建物の屋上で、天気が良ければ北アルプスの山々も望める文字どおりの標高2307mの満天ビューになります。 山頂にある横手山ヒュッテのパン屋も人気で賑わっていました。

This is Yakibitaiyama Snow Resort located at the northern end of the Shiga Kogen Central Area and the largest in the Shiga Kogen. When I visit Shiga Kogen by car, I sometimes get confused about where to park. It's quite difficult to find the car park even trying to use Google Maps. Here the Yakibitaiyama has a couple of large car parks which are free and easy to use. I visited on 2nd April 2023, it was cold enough in the early morning and the snow surface was in good condition. People enjoy the cherry blossoms and warm spring at the foot of the mountains but we can enjoy skiing at here in Shiga Kogen! Revisited on 24 Feb 2024, it was snowy last night and the snow covered the icy slopes, well it's a very difficult condition but enjoyed anyway. Also enjoyed other snow resorts connected by trails from Yakibitaiya.

Great skiing - lots of snow; no lift lines; not many people on the trails Only downside was the quad lift out of service so we couldn't ski the West side at all Cheaper to buy tickets from Skiosk or online than on-site (which is a bit odd?)

Terrible. I've been anticipating to visit for 1 year and only 2 green slopes and chairlifts are open today. Snow is too icy, there is not intention to use the snow cannons. I paid for the full price for the ski pass but I can use less than half the chairlifts; 2 out the 15 ski slopes. Don't visit.

Nice sake! Taste all the sake, it's worth it!
Kay — Google review
The sakes were good and we bought a few bottles to take home but the tasting experience was interesting. We walked in the building and saw several employees sitting in a room but no one walked out to greet us. So we walked around inside the building and eventually found out that the tastings are self-service using a vending machine that takes 100 yen coins. We tried 3 of the sakes that were available for tasting then rang a bell to get an employee’s attention so we could buy a few bottles. Not much of a brewery/tasting experience but we enjoyed the sakes we bought.
Fabrizio G — Google review
We stoped by the brewery as part of a tour of Shibu onsen. The inside has some amazing woodwork and a little museum. We were able to try some sake and purchase some beers to take home. The staff was very helpful. I think the only thing that might make the experience somewhat better is having an area to sit and relax while you taste sake or drink the beer you purchase.
Danielle S — Google review
We drove to the building but wasn’t sure if it was the right place. It’s an traditional, authentic Japanese building. They offer two beer on tap which you need to pay and a self serving sake tasting. There is also a gallery upstairs. The lady was able to speak English and extremely helpful. We ended buying a few bottles of sake and beer.

Good to go if you have some time to spare. Many kinds of sake available for free testing, and there are English information sheets to explain the differences in raw material or brewing method of each type of sake. Beer is also available on tap. Price of the liquor is reasonable, and sake is sold in 300ml/720ml/1800ml bottles. You can buy some interesting beer glasses. Level 2 is a small art gallery with interesting exhibits

(Translated by Google) It is located in the central area of ​​Shiga Kogen. It is easily accessible as it is close to the roadside station. As the name suggests, this pond is characterized by lotuses and water lilies covering the water surface, giving it a different atmosphere from other ponds. When I went there in the summer, the water lilies were blooming and it was beautiful. From a distance, it looked like a Monet painting. There is a promenade around the pond. Some wooden walkways have been built over wetlands. It's only a 5-minute walk from Yama Station, so we recommend stopping by when you're taking a break at Yama Station. (Original) 志賀高原の中心のエリアにあります。道の駅のすぐ近くでアクセスが容易です。この池の特徴ですが、名前の通りハスと睡蓮が水面を覆っており、他の池と違う雰囲気です。夏に行ったところ睡蓮の花が咲いており綺麗でした。遠目に見るとモネの絵画のようでした。池の周囲には遊歩道が整備されています。一部は湿地の上に木製の歩道が作られています。山の駅から徒歩で5分程と、すぐなので、山の駅で休憩時には、是非立ち寄る事をおすすめします。

(Translated by Google) Visited on October 24, 2025. Second day of autumn foliage viewing. While driving on National Route 292, I discovered vibrant red autumn leaves. While the autumn foliage in this area is primarily birch yellow, the red here is beautifully mixed in. There's a path that circles the pond, taking about 20 minutes. The water lilies in the pond are also colorful, and you can enjoy the upside-down autumn leaves. Along the way, there's Ariake Hill Observatory, which overlooks the mountains beyond, making it a double treat. Next, I wanted to go to Kusatsu from Mt. Shirane, but a volcanic alert of level 2 has been issued and the road is closed. So, what should I do? I want to see Yoshigahira Marsh as well. Let's go ahead. I used the toilet at the nearby Shiga Kogen Yamanoie.

(Translated by Google) Sunday, August 10, 2025 Across this bridge is a paid parking lot. The river was flowing vigorously. There was a roof in the middle, and benches. There were also bamboo lanterns. I wonder if they were lit at night? (Original) ２０２５年８月１０日(日) この橋を渡ると有料駐車場があります。 川は勢い良く流れてました。 真ん中には屋根があって、長椅子があります。 また、竹灯籠もあり、夜になると灯籠に灯りが灯るのかな？

(Translated by Google) This is a bridge that caught my attention when I visited by car, and there is a parking lot nearby, so you can park your car here and go to Shibu Onsen's public baths. If you want to visit the hot springs, you will need to cross the Kono Bridge to get to the hot spring town, and from here you can see rows of houses that give you a sense of history. (Original) クルマで訪れた時に気になった橋で近くに駐車場もあり、ココにクルマを停めて渋温泉の外湯めぐりに行けます。湯めぐりに行く場合はコノ橋を渡って温泉街へ向かいますが、ココからの眺める温泉街は歴史を感じる家並が見られます。

By the way, perhaps because it was cold this time, we were able to see diamond dust. (Original) 渋温泉の中心にある橋。脇には渋温泉の（猿の）キャラクターの像が鎮座する。なお、今回は寒かったせいか、ダイヤモンドダストを見ることができた。

(Translated by Google) Currently "Shibu Onsen parking lot" My “memories” are... A story that took place 75 years ago during the war. I'm in the third year of elementary school. He lived in Shibu Onsen as a ``school child evacuation''. Stayed dispersed in Ikariya, Kokuya, Kadoya, and Hisishiya Torazo. The parking lot across from the Shibuyu Bridge was where we held our morning assembly and exercise in the morning. A painful memory was when we were forced to walk barefoot in a big circle for a long time during a winter morning assembly in about 10 centimeters of snow. It still remains in my ``head.'' As the war became more intense, he was re-evacuated to a ``temple'' near ``Zenkoji'' in Nagano due to being a ``disabled soldier.'' She is currently attending a local elementary school and is interacting with her classmates. I chose "Shibu Onsen" for my last "trip"!! ️ Now we are taking on the challenge of the coronavirus. 😷🤗😷 (Original) 今は「渋温泉の駐車場」 私の「想い出」はーーー。 75年前の「戦争中」のお話。私小学校３年生。「渋温泉」に「学童疎開」で生活していた。いかりや屋▪古久屋▪かどや▪ひしや寅蔵に分散して滞在。朝の「朝礼や体操」をしていた場所が「渋湯橋」を渡った駐車場。キツイ想い出、冬の「朝礼」で、10センチ位の雪の中、素足で大きな「輪」になって長い時間駆け足で歩かされた事。今も「頭」のな中に残っている。戦争が激しくなり「傷痍軍人」のため、再疎開で長野「善光寺」近くの「お寺」に移った。地元の「小学校」に通い同級生との交流は進行中です。最後の「旅」に「渋温泉」を選んだよ‼️　今は「コロナウイルス」に挑戦だね。😷🤗😷

Destination for up-close viewing of snow monkeys in a secluded park accessible by long, scenic walk.
Slide 1 of 8
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stow Monkey Park is such a wonderful experience! The walk up to the park is beautiful — a shaded path along a peaceful stream surrounded by tall trees, which makes the journey as enjoyable as the destination. The entrance fee is very reasonable at just 800 yen. The park is well maintained, with public restroom and a free drinking water machine available, plus a nice little gift shop. Watching the monkeys up close in their natural setting was absolutely incredible — truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

Came here because of samsara! Knew it would be a magical place and it truly was. Forewarning,you can't guarantee that you'll see any monkeys. I got there and was told only 1 monkey is out. Got there and spent 15mins looking for him, to find he was hiding behind me and not in the bath! Lol Even without the monkeys it's a lovely spot with stunning views and really nice warm water! If you have any disabilities or struggle walking I'd reconsider. My old man has COPD and struggled to get there (we parked in the car park) otherwise it's just a good climb of stairs. Not much else there, I believe there used to be a restaurant and hotel. But looks closed down. Parking was cheap. Plenty of spots.

Second visit to park, both in November but many years apart........first time the monkeys did not come down from the mountain - mating season we were told !!! The visit of 17th November 2025 was especially enjoyable with a very large number of monkeys roaming around in the park and using the hot pool. It was particularly fortunate to be with the monkeys considering they had been absent from the park for several days before our visit. The 30 minute easy walk through the forest to the park was also a memorable experience. Anyone visiting Nagano should make a visit a priority.
Stephen J — Google review
Mixed feelings about this place. Firstly, the area itself is gorgeous. The walk to the park through the forest and past the geyser are beautiful. But the monkey park operation is quite small. I can see how this place would be packed instantly. Secondly, nothing much about any of this can be considered wild or natural. The hot spring pool there is man-made. And they lure the monkeys over with food via daily feeding sessions. That being said, we did manage to see 2 monkeys in the early morning who were just passing through (no food offered and not in the hot spring), so I will call that a win. But set expectations properly.
Ilse E — Google review
Look at these little pricks, they’ve got everything! The attention, the hot water baths, 2 meals a day from the park’s authority, free meds and on top of that, they tried to steal my camera. Despite all, they’re so lovable, I forgave them! The habitat of the snow monkeys is located at a 15-minute taxi ride from Yudanaka, followed by an enjoyable 30-minute walk through the woods on a well-maintained hilly gravel path to Jigokudani Yaen-Koen. Once out of the taxi and walking towards the park from the road, don’t miss the geysers here and there; they may surprise you anyways as they burst sporadically. Whenever you hear a drum-like sound, it’s only one of the adult monkeys running their 200-lbs or so (90 kg) down the hills, but don’t be scared as they are quite sociable. Do mind your pockets and accessories though, because they have some surprising pick-pocket skills and they’re not shy about them. As for the smaller ones, they run like crazy and play joyfully. One took my shoulder as a prop when jumping between 2 fences. When the big ones come out of the water, take a few steps back from them, because they skillfully shake-off the water on tourists; it seems to amuse them. Have fun and cheers!
Stephan O — Google review
Super cool! Unfortunately they don’t come out often in the autumn. I recommend winter! They posted a schedule to show the history of when monkeys have come over the last two months. We got lucky we saw 2 but apparently at peak you’d see 150 but still so worth it!
Blog H — Google review
It’s not cold enough yet for the monkeys to go in the water so there is a chance you won’t see monkeys swimming or any monkeys at all. I have been told that in the start of december it starts getting cold enough. But it looks still very nice if there are some monkeys. Price is 800 yen. The walk takes about 30/40 minutes but it’s not a hard walk.
Niek D — Google review
It was very nice to see the wildlife in their own environment! We had considered going to the zoo with our kid but this little walk in the mountains was so enjoyable. We almost didn’t get to see any monkeys but then just as we were about to leave, a few came down to say Konnichiwa! We feel very lucky!

(Translated by Google) On the outskirts of Shibu Onsen, or rather in a place overlooking the hot spring, you will find Onsenji Temple. The name of the temple feels perfectly suited to this location. Legend has it that during the Sengoku period, Takeda Shingen came here to heal his wounds after the Battle of Kawanakajima. As it is on high ground, the views are also amazing. If you are staying at Shibu Onsen, we recommend visiting Onsenji Temple in the mornings and evenings to watch the sunset and sunrise. (Original) 渋温泉のはずれにというか、渋温泉を見下ろす場所に温泉寺があります。 お寺の名前もまさにこの場所にぴったりって感じですね。 戦国時代には、武田信玄公が川中島の合戦後にこちらで傷を癒したという言い伝えもあります。 高台になっているので景色も最高です。 渋温泉に宿泊している方は、ぜひ朝夕に温泉寺に訪れて夕日や朝日を見ることをお勧めします。

(Translated by Google) A historic temple that is said to have been built in 1305. It is said that Takeda Shingen also stopped by, and that he was later protected by the Takeda family, and the Takeda rhombus is still its emblem. On the side of the hot spring town, there is a magnificent temple gate with an atmosphere, and within the precincts there are stone pagodas and stone Buddhas such as the Rokujizo statue and the Koshin Pagoda, which was built in 1996. (Original) 嘉元三年（1305年）に創建とされる歴史あるお寺。武田信玄も立ち寄ったとされ、その後武田家の庇護を受けていたそうで、今でも武田菱が紋となっています。 温泉街側には雰囲気ある立派な山門があり、境内には六地蔵や文化11年建立の庚申塔などの石塔や石仏がありました。

(Translated by Google) Visited on May 3, 2025 I discovered Onsenji Temple while walking around after checking out of the Shibu Onsen inn. I was drawn to the name Onsenji and decided to visit it. It was built about 700 years ago, so it was a building with a lot of history and style. Anyway, how many stories are there about Shingen's hot springs in Yamanashi and Nagano? Am I the only one who feels like there isn't much value in Shingen's hidden hot springs all over the place? Well, coming here hasn't changed anything in me, but I'm happy to have come to a place related to hot springs. 3 stars. (Original) 2025年5月3日訪問 渋温泉の宿をチェックアウト後の散策中に温泉寺を発見。 温泉寺という名称に惹かれて見学させていただきました。 約700年前に建てられたということで歴史も風格もある建物でした。 それにしても山梨、長野には信玄の温泉絡みの話はいくつあるんだろうか？そこら中に信玄の隠し湯があるからありがたみがあまりないような気がするのは私だけでしょうか？ まぁここに来た事で私の中で何かが変わった訳ではないですが、温泉にまつわる場所に来れた事は嬉しく思います。 星3つ。

(Translated by Google) Although the mountain is over 2,000m above sea level, it takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to climb up and down the Shigayama trail entrance on the Shibuike side and the Shijuhachiike branch. But it's not a hiking trail. Since the trailhead is connected to the wooden promenade of Shijuhachiike Wetland and the walking path from Shibuike, I have seen women wearing light clothes, wearing town shoes or even sandals with back belts, but the Mt. ``Road''. At the top, there are steep slopes filled with lava flow rocks and steep slopes that are slippery when it gets muddy, making it dangerous even if you're wearing light clothing as it's a fairly rough mountain trail. (Original) 標高2,000mを超える山なのに、渋池側志賀山登山道入口・四十八池分岐のコースを登って下りると、どちらからでも1時間30分程度の所要タイムです。しかしハイキングコースではありません。登山口が四十八池湿原の木道遊歩道や渋池からの散策路とつながっているため、軽装でタウンシューズや果てはバックベルトのサンダルで登る女性まで見かけましたが、志賀山登山コースの道は「登山道」です。上部は溶岩流の岩がゴロゴロした急坂や、ぬかるむと滑りやすい急坂があり、登山道としてもそれなりに悪路なので軽装では危険です。

(Translated by Google) This area is a beautiful mountain full of flowers and wetlands that are easy to climb and have no dangerous spots. We had planned to go around 15km, but we had to shorten our schedule at the end because we could smell the rain. As soon as we arrived at the parking lot, there was a heavy shower. Climbing at high altitudes made me think that you should always have an escape route in mind. Be careful as the wooden path is slippery after rain.

Experience is soo amazing!!🤩 The thrill was so exciting!! If your from the top of hill you can slide for almost 10~15 minutes or even more even if your fast. The snow slides are connected to each other. There’s a place called Skyland Station(a 10-minute ride up to the top of the hill) it’s soooo high!! It was exciting but I was soooo afraid of it 😳 😱 😆 !!! Just an aerophobia 😂 ,anyways it’s a FREE ride just use your card. You will also get a FREE 500Yen drinks 🍹 up in Skyland Station while experience the top of the mountains 😊 If your expert enough you can try the snow slide ( skiing) from Skyland station below. It’s very dangerous for me but you can try if you are expert enough!! Please be careful and enjoy!!! Yes ob course, there is a card uses for lifts, and they also provide night snow slides (skiing) but up to 9 pm only. From the top of Skyland Station there is still another snow slides up hill 😂 I though it was the end but still you can ride lifts and slide uphill 😂 I never expected that. They also provide foods for dinner and breakfast maybe additional around 2000~3000yen/day if I remember it correctly. Make sure to bring a copy of your covid certificate so you can get a discount. The rest of it 😉 Have a great day ahead!!!

Decent slopes with wide areas for dodging all of the snowboarders relaxing (???) on the slopes. However, the upper and lower areas of the mountain are split by an unbearably slow gondola ride that only operates once every 20 minutes. Plus, the only slopes connecting the upper and lower areas are three "advanced skiers only" areas (US equiv.: double or triple black diamond) that are too steep for most avid skiers/boarders. There are plenty of food options around the slopes, which is very nice, but expect resort prices (e.g., a Japanese pint will be ~¥1000)
Chris B — Google review
Not a very large mountain resort but still fun. All of the runs are connected so you're able to ride from the top all the way down to the carpark if you want. Decent powder at the top even though it was quite sunny today. Rental boards/skis are not allowed on the runs right under the Sora Cafe (think it's due to bushland/trees) and you'll need a helmet if you plan to ride there. Not a lot of English speakers or signs outside of the hotels but we were able to get by. Most places (hotel, rentals, restaurants, ski passes) take card but the Yamazaki convenience store nearby doesn't (they do accept PayPay though). Take a shuttle from Yudanaka (free) or Iiyama (reserve ahead of time) to get here.

The slopes and snow conditions are decent. There are 4 beginner slopes, however due to a long holiday, it's a little busy. The view from the top is stunning (have to take a Gondola 🚠), and with the freezing temps, I warmly recommended the SORA terrace's Cafe Mocha ☕
T P — Google review
Taking the Gondola to the top was a wonderful experience. We skied here during mid February, snow on the lower slopes can become hard and very slippery on sunny day but snow on the top mountain was steadily soft, powder and thick. There was more fun to either ski or snowboard among the forest which could only be found on the top!!
Keewa K — Google review
Not a very big mountain, but lots of fun regardless. The hardest course is called Kiotoshi and is only accessible from the peak and the staff require you to be wearing a helmet, so come prepared. They have lots of restaurants and cafes scattered around the mountain as well.

This Buddhist temple has seen better days but was a lovely find in the hills above the ryokan neighborhood. We sadly visited during November and so the cherry blossom trees were not in bloom but as you can see form other people's pictures it would make for quite the sight to come up the temple stairs. Inside the staff will take you on a tour that includes beating a drum that drives away evil spirits as well as a series of bowls you ring in progressive order until you come to the main temple in the base of the statue. The staff were exuberant and did not lot the language barrier deter them from taking you along on the tour.
