Top 43 things to do and attractions in Yamanouchi-machi

(Translated by Google) It's a hot spring town with a Showa feel! I think people who like retro will like it. There are some shops that have closed down, but the table tennis hall and target shooting range still remain! Walking slowly on the cobblestones in geta will soothe your soul (I wonder if I'm old lol) (Original) tha昭和な感じな温泉街です！レトロ好きな方には好まれるのではないでしょうか？所々廃業したお店も有りますが、卓球場や射的も残ってます！ 石畳を下駄でカランコロと歩くと心が癒されます(歳かな笑)

(Translated by Google) The whole city is full of emotion. It was fun collecting stamps from the public bath. (Original) 街全体が情緒たっぷりです 外湯のはんこ集め楽しかった

(Translated by Google) Although the atmosphere of the retro hot spring town is very nice, the customer service at the restaurants is terrible. The expression of the village is very nice traditional Japanese hot spring village but the most restaurant in that village is terrible. We do not recommend staying in this hot spring town unless you have a meal plan. In particular, we do not recommend staying at accommodations where you drive by car, do not have meals, or do not have a parking lot (you must use a municipal parking lot). There are no decent restaurants in the hot spring town. Not only are there very few stores open, but families with children are often refused entry or kicked out. Also, you can't get your car in or out of the municipal parking lot from 7pm to 7am, so you can't go to the next town for dinner. I visited this hot spring town with my children, and I just regretted coming to this hot spring town, and it ruined the trip I was looking forward to. You can only use the outdoor baths until 10pm. Although the hot spring town has great potential, it is a shame that there are many restaurants run by elderly people who are closed off and rude. Not recommend to stay hotel without dinner plan. There is no nice restaurants especially with kids. You even get kicked out from some restaurants if you are with kids. And public parking , you can’t get your car in and out at all from 7pm to 7am to go other town to eat. I just regretted to even went there with kids. That town ruined our entire trip that I was looking forwarded to. (Original) レトロな温泉街の雰囲気はとてもいいのに、飲食店の接客が最悪です。 The expression of the village is very nice traditional Japanese hot spring village but the most restaurant in that village is terrible. 食事付きプラン以外でこの温泉街に宿泊をされるのはお勧めしません。特に車で行く、食事なし、駐車場なし(市営の駐車場を利用しなければならない)宿に宿泊されるのはお勧めしません。 温泉街にまともな飲食店がありません。開店している店が少ないうえに、特に子連れは入店を断られたり、追い出されたりします。 また市営駐車場は夕方7時から朝7時まで車を出し入れ出来ないので夕飯を隣町に食べに行くことができません。 子連れで訪れて、ただただこの温泉街に来た事を後悔し、楽しみにしていた旅行を台無しにされました。 外湯回りも夜10時までしか出来ません。 温泉街のポテンシャルは高いのに、閉鎖的で失礼な高齢者が経営する飲食店が多くとても残念です。 Not recommend to stay hotel without dinner plan.

(Translated by Google) Be warned, if your hotel doesn't have a private onsen, be aware that the much-advertised "Nine Onsen Road" is actually just a string of dilapidated public baths. I think I would have made a different reservation or wouldn't have gone through Yudanaka at all if I had known what the place was really like. If you want to see monkeys, they are only present, or mainly so, in winter when it's very cold and they want to warm up in the onsen. For restaurants, plan ahead as they fill up very quickly. The village has charm, but there are many ruins on the main street. You can sense that something is starting to happen, but it doesn't quite live up to its reputation. (Original) Attention, si votre hôtel ne dispose pas d'un on s'en privé, sachez que la route des 9 onsens tant publicitée n'est en fait qu'une succession de bains publics en piteux état. Je pense que j'aurais fait une réservation différente ou ne serait pas passé par yudanaka si j'avais su ce qu'était vraiment cet endroit. Si vous souhaitez voir des singes, ils ne sont présents que ou principalement en hiver lorsqu'il fait très froid et qu'ils veulent aller se réchauffer dans l'onsen. Pour les restaurants prévoyez tôt car ils se remplissent très vite. Le village a du charme mais beaucoup de ruines sur la rue principale. On sent que y a un début de quelque chose mais que ça vaut pas totalement sa réputation.

Good amount of ski slopes and good snow across the whole mountain range/resorts, but very crowded still and some lifts are very slow. Also very annoying that most of the ski slopes aren't connected even though the map makes it seem that way. Yokoteyma had an amazing view though, best I've ever seen. However, snowboard/ski wise, not enough variety in the runs across the resorts to get 5/5.

Shiga Kogen is an absolutely beautiful ski resort, especially when covered in soft, powdery snow. The scenery is breathtaking, and the vast expanse of the resort makes it a fantastic place for skiing and snowboarding. There are plenty of ski lifts to get you up the mountains, and I was pleasantly surprised that the lift lines weren’t long, even on a busy day. One of the best parts about Shiga Kogen is the convenience—there are plenty of spots to grab food and drinks, as well as rest areas to take a break and warm up. Maps are also posted throughout the resort, which makes it easy to navigate and find your way. The only downside is that the mountains aren’t as seamlessly connected as I’d hoped. After some runs, you may need to stop, unbuckle, and traverse to another area, which can break up the flow of skiing or snowboarding. Overall, though, Shiga Kogen is an amazing place to experience Japan’s winter beauty, with great snow, plenty of lifts, and all the amenities you’d need for a fantastic day on the slopes.

People may hate me but I have very mixed feelings about the ski resort. The snow can be great in Japan so that is the one big reason to go. But the resort can be difficult to navigate, it is really a collection of a bunch of small resorts, so you have a lot of traverses and areas were you have to walk. Manny runs are short and lifts are generally very old. If you are not staying up at the resort the transportation to Nagano water a lot of time and can be frustrating. On mountain good was not exceptional, much better food in the cities

My husband's bucket list to snowboard in Nagano. Tovisit the biggest ski area with so many resorts was huge. He had the most amazing time.

The most important information had learned was that the free shuttle between the stops was slow and infrequent. I would recommend avoiding taking them if possible. That means, avoid skiing down a different trail than where you had started and ended up far away. Check your map before going down the trail. The resort is HUGE! There are so many different "resorts" in a single area, and there are even more resorts in other areas. But you could just stay in one area and that's enough. We began at the Yamanoeki Bus Stop, where the Alpina Sports Ski Rental Office and coin lockers were located. You can also park your car next to the building. We caught the bus the first day and drove the next. Right next to the building is a gondola that takes you to the skiing area. We spent most of our time on gondola/lifts 15, 16, 34, and 33, and that was more than enough to fill the whole day. There's a cafe stand and a dining room on top of the mountain if you need some food. The dining room is good for a quick bite. We saw monkeys here running around and jumping on top of hotel awnings, and even on top of people's cars. The hotel workers obviously despised the monkeys. They would throw snow and even point the snow blowers at them to try to scare them away. They tried to tell me why, but the language barrier prevented me from fully understanding. However, it's clear that they are considered a nuisance. Shiga Kogen is a great place for novice skiers. There are many long, green trails perfect for practicing and having fun. We stuck to the green trails the entire time, and we never got bored. It’s also really accessible from Tokyo, and both the lift ticket and ski rental prices were really great. The only downside is that we went in March when there wasn’t much powder left. We plan to go back in January next time for a more powdery experience.

Shiga Kogen area is a great place to ski as it is mostly connected to the other ski areas (save for a few which required bus transfer to) so there is less scope to get bored with skiing the same runs, good mix or green, red & black slopes, plenty of lunch food options outside of the Prince ski area. Relatively quiet with few lift queues, and close to snow (onsen) monkey park One minor gripe is there are quite a few areas where you need to walk up gradients to get to ski lifts or neighbouring ski areas One major detraction is the lack of any sort of night life once the skiing has finished for the day, with not many restaurants choices connected by the local shuttle

One of the best ski resort in Japan. Famous Japanese powder snow. Not crowded at all, food and stay at prince hotel was great! Very reasonable priced lift tickets. Feb 2023

(Translated by Google) The ropeway is famous for its huge size, and while the scenery is nice when you get to the top, there's nothing special about it. (Original) ロープウェイはデカイので有名だけど、あがっても景色は良いが特になにもない。

(Translated by Google) You can enjoy it in both summer and winter. (Original) 夏も冬も楽しめます。

(Translated by Google) The weather is cool, and the sounds of birds, cicadas, and frogs bring a sense of nostalgia. It feels like my summer vacation. (Original) 冷涼で、鳥や蝉、蛙🐸の鳴き声が郷愁を誘います。僕の夏休みという、感じですねぇ。

(Translated by Google) The scenery is nice and I go there often. But if it's from the city center, there's Karuizawa on the way, so it's hard to get there (lol) (Original) 景色も良いし、たまに行きます。 が都心からだと途中に軽井沢があるからなかなかいかない(笑)

(Translated by Google) When you pass from Kijimadaira on the national highway, the scenery that spreads out all at once is amazing! (Original) 国道で木島平から通ると、一気に広がる景色が素晴らしいところです！

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

If you are planning to visit in Shibu Onsen or the nearby Snow Monkey Mountain, Kokuya must be your place of accommodation. Although I stayed only for 1 night, it didn't felt enough because I was so impressed with bot just how well their ryokan and rooms were kept, but their service and care towards guests as well. Check in: I was one a few guests whom reached the ryokan early, just before check-in time. Their staff ushered me to take a sit first and unwind, showing me pamphlets of the nearby Snow Monkey Mountain, letting me know of what I should take note as I'm heading there. I was then introduced to Jenny, a staff at Kokuya whom speaks perfect English and had no issues communicating with me. Jenny proceeded to take down my details and asked for my meal timing preference before showing me to my room. I then had my height roughly estimated by her for my yukata measurement which she brought to me immediately. Following her to my room, she briefed me the restaurant/meal location as well at the ryokan's onsen while on the way. Upon reaching my room, she handed me the master key to visit the 9 public baths around Shibu Onsen (which i had no prior knowledge of them) as well as educating me in participating in the 9 public baths. She also taught me how to wear the yukata which she chose for me as well as informing me that my tatami mattress would be set up when I am having my dinner. Check in went super smooth throughout thanks to Jenny! Room: I chose the Japanese Style Room with Open Air bath. Needless to say, the room was huge and extremely specious. Everything was prepared neatly and everything was kept clean. Jenny showed me the water adjustment for my own private onsen and warned that both the private and 9 public baths were hot so just be careful. The toilet itself was automatic and there was a remote control at the side although it's all in Japanese, I had to Google Translate some of the functions to know what I was going to press. All and all, the room was perfect. Meals: I was served a 9-course Izakaya dinner at Kokuya. This dinner was nothing but superb, being prepared by both their chef as well as their kitchen staff and carefully brought in by the hotel staff and everything tasted delicious (I was super well- fed that evening). Jenny was once again there to guide and inform me of the dishes as well as the ingredients of each dish. Occasionally, she'll check in and ask if the meal is going well. Having my meal alone, I could hear guests from other tables how satisfied they were at Kokuya's service. Their meal staff will really stop what they are doing and take time to speak to you, answering whatever questions you have (regarding Shibu Onsen/nearby temples/Snow Monkey Park/your stay at their ryokan) and ensuring you are at your best comfort. Check out: Checking out was quick, handing my key only. I thing that surprised me thoroughly was when I exited my room and headed to the front desk, their staff had already arranged the shoes for every hotel guest for wearing (see photo). This service was really top notch and their staff really went the extra mile. Overall: My stay in Kokuya was nothing but fantastic and it exceeded my expectations beyond anything. Service, check. Room cleanliness and comfort, check. Ryokan that has onsen and is conveniently located near the 9 public onsens of Shibu Onsen, check. Just can't get any better than this. Special thanks to the staff for taking care of me and answering any doubts I had regarding temple visiting around Shibu Onsen and surrounding areas. Big massive shoutout to Jenny for serving me throughout my trip in Kokuya (you were great!).

We had a very nice stay at this charming ryokan. The staff is very friendly, helpful and speaks English and everything is super well organized. You have many onsens inside the ryokan and the outside ones are the best, they are beautiful and make you feel zen (especially the Issafuroku). The rooms are spacious, traditional and nice. The walls are quite thin so you can hear other people sometimes (snoring during the night). The food was very good, especially the dinner! We arrived on a Sunday and unfortunately there was no shuttle to even get to the snow monkey park, we walked there 1 hour but it might be long for some people. Overall a very nice experience!!

We had an amazing stay at Kokuya! The staff were so friendly, the food was delicious, the location is super convenient to check out Snow Monkey Park (and also very serene), the room was spotless and so cozy. Lastly, the onsen here are so relaxing and having a variety to try within the hotel was such a treat! Would stay here again!

Stayed here in May for 2 nights to experience a traditional Ryokan in Shibu Onsen, Nagano. We choose Shibu Onsen for a base to hike at Shiga Kogen and visit the Jigokudani Monkey Park. We were warmly welcomed by the staff at 3 PM. After check-in the staff introduced us to our room and showed our futons and showed us how the hotel private onsen worked. We had two breakfast en one dinner. The kaiseki dinner was perfect! Everything was cooked to perfection. We had some regional dishes, soup and fresh sashimi and sushi. Of course I am forgetting so much more delicious food. The Ryokan also provides a key for the bath houses in town. Really fun to walk in traditional yukata and collect all stamps. Definitely recommend 10/10! And a key memory of our time in Japan!

We had a warm welcome at this charming ryokan. We tried each of the private onsens and enjoyed a private soak in the mineral water. The quaint town is a nice place for quiet strolls. We especially enjoyed breakfasts and dinners here. We got to sample many traditional dishes that I've never seen in restaurants. This was real Japanese home cooking and every bite was a delicious surprise.

What an incredible experience. Every member of the staff was so kind, helpful and accommodating. The private baths were very clean and the outdoor ones were especially beautiful. The location is close to all the other walkable onsen baths and a few izakayas but you won’t need to leave the ryokan if you don’t want to. They have everything you need. The food was excellent as well. We will return. I would give 6 stars if I could.

What an experience! You're coming for an onsen experience so let me tell you, there's almost a million options available at Kokuya Ryokan. They're booked in 45 minute intervals and you have the whole bath to yourself. Talk about luxury. Relaxingly hot, almost too much so. Some of the baths need to be cooled down with the spigot but that's no big deal. Breakfast and dinner are amazing. They bring out so many dishes in such variety that you're definitely going to leave satisfied and ready to hit the day. For me, I loved the feel of the hotel. The concierge joked that it was dungeon-like in how there seem to be an endless amount of stairwells and paths. The map won't help. Just get lost and explore. Be sure to keep an eye out for the source of the onsen. At the same time, everything is kept spotless and my room was amazing. They'll try their best to accommodate for everything you need. I would love to come back!

Great ski resort. Not so many people during weekdays. Stunning view from Sora Cafe if whether is good. During my stay, three black runs are closed, so the runs are a bit simple. Great powder on top area.

I’ve been here several times. It’s our preferred ski resort because the hotels are within walking distance. The slopes are good for beginners and intermediate.

It's really such a great day here in Ryuoo Ski Park. It's my first time here to be with my husband. 💖

Great place for practicing your skills. But a bit narrow.

One of the most picturesque ski resorts that I've been to in Japan. (Yes - pictures are accurate) Runs at the top of the mountain are nice, friendly for beginners and intermediates but sometimes narrow which leads to some traffic bottlenecks (you know...when a group of people chill out in the middle of the path for some reason). The bottom of the mountain is extremely wide. If you're travelling with beginners and looking for a quick, easy day at the mountain, this is a good place. Terrain is beginner friendly and picturesque so it'll keep everyone happy and motivated. For advanced riders, they have an extremely steep tree run that connects the top of the mountain to the bottom (therefore a long complete run) but it requires a helmet (didn't have one on me). At the bottom they have a terrain park but I wasn't able to confirm beyond a few jumps and rails. It is by no means one of the largest ski resorts, but it's great for a day trip.

just spent four days skiing at ryuoo and it has produced mixed feelings. my overall impression is that this is a beginners resort. most of the runs that were open were gentle to say the least. it was crowded with snowboarders and even though the resort announcer was extolling them not to sit on the runs especially at the lift exits, they were en masse and was sometime hard to get through them to enter the run, the ski school people from the JSA were excellent and now both my children can ski and this is an excellent outcome. the lifties were good, but when it gotcrowded didnt really try to max out the available seat space but i never waited longer than a fewmimutes for a lift. however it would have been better if they had opened a few more lifts once the snow fell. we were squeezed onto a few of the courses on my last day they finally opened up the final pair lift to get to the top of the bottom section of skiable mountain which made for a very enjoyable run skiing the length of three lifts about 1800 metres at first the snow quality was average being mostly man made but then it dumped with 35cm fresh powder each day but as the runs were not steep it was hard to get enough speed up to get some turns in and almost impossible for beginners who could only snow plow in reality s a day trip is enough for this mountain but there is a shuttle bus to nearby resorts,like x jam and you could base yourself at ryuoo and ski a range of resorts

We had a great time with our kids playing at their kids adventure area. Lots of different kinds of sleds; snow tubing runs; and a thrilling opportunity to drive a four wheeler around a course while your kids hangs on for dear life. I also found the staff extremely helpful and fun to be around. They gave us tips on upping the fun level and were full of excitement. Satoshi helped us get settled right as we got off the bus, which is a free, 20 minute ride from Yudanaka Station. A great place even if you're not skiing or snowboarding.

I went to this place in December end during winter. Its a very beautiful place. All the monkeys we’re resting and shivering in cold. Need to walk around 40 minutes from the bus stop. The time is based on how fast you manage to walk in snow. Its not easy to walk as the path is slippery. Need proper crampons and outfit especially gloves. There is also a rental shop where winter gadgets are available. The entrance fee for an adult was 800JPY. After you went back to the starting point. Near the parking there is a small restaurant. I would recommend you to eat ramen and apple pie

When I went in summer all the moneys were hiding but I went this long weekend and the scenery was completely different and fascinating !! It took 40 minutes from the bus stop to the actual Monkey park entry but the walk was really nice during all seasons !! I have seen Monkey in many different countries , I must said the monkeys at snow monkey park are the most luckiest ones because of the onsen . I

Interesting place to see snow monkey enjoying onsen. Come early in the morning as it will be crowded after 10:00

This was one of my favorite places to visit on my trip to Japan. We went at such a lovely time of year. A misunderstanding happened, and we missed the last bus to the location, but we were able to take a taxi. The taxi took us to a different location and we hiked a shortcut to the park, so we had plenty of time to see the monkeys.

Didn’t know what to expect what way beyond any expectations I had! Be prepared if you take the bus that’s it’s a nearly 2km walk uphill with steps so it can be difficult for some. I highly recommend arriving for opening or just before as it does fill up pretty quick, we got there at 9am and while there was a fair amount of people there it was well spread out to enjoy the views and take photos. After the park on the walk down there was some great little restaurants to stop in for coffee or some great Ramen. Definitely a place to check out! Big Tip! Come in the fall, winter and spring. When they have abundance of food they don’t come down from their regular area up the mountain as often.

A good visit. We hired a car from Tokyo for a day trip. It was early December and winter was just setting in. A short enjoyable walk from the car park to the hot springs. We did see the snow monkeys there enjoying themselves. It was not too crowded. An enjoyable trip and we did manage some photographs too.

It’s not that easy to go this place, but it’s worth it. From the starting point, you will need to walk a distance of 1.6km for about 25 minutes. We went during winter time, so an appropriate shoes and outfit is needed. There’s a rental shop where you can rent a winter shoes and a coat too in case you came unprepared. (800¥ each for shoes and coat) The entrance fee for an adult was 800¥. After you went back to the starting point. There’s a near small restaurant where you can eat. I recommend you choose the ramen! The sight of the monkeys enjoying their hot spring bath and playing with each other was a rare moment that you can only see in this place. The monkeys are also cute and they’re really nice.

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 skiing. Not a lot of people. And very few foreigners.

Loved it, combined with Okushiga it makes a nice resort with a lot of variety. Nothing fancy, pure local skiing.

At Mount Yakebitai, the gondola takes you from the Prince Hotel to the top (abt 7 min). From the top, you can ski down with beautiful scenery (abt 10-20 min)

Short runs, slow lifts, green runs crowded with bus loads of ski school students. The region has had no investment for decades. There are much better areas to ski in Japan.

Powder world you can get the first track in the morning.

My husband and I had an absolutely amazing stay at Koishiya Ryokan! The staff were so friendly, warm, and helpful, they really made us feel at home. The rooms were incredibly spacious, spotlessly clean, and had very comfortable beds. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which made the stay even more comfortable. The location was also fantastic, central to everything you need, with easy access to local sights and restaurants. It made getting around super convenient. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

We stayed here during the second week of September during a heat wave, so I think it wasn't the busiest time for the area. The room we stayed in was beautiful and had great air conditioning. The location is perfect for visiting the 9 baths and for seeing the snow monkeys. The staff was absolutely wonderful. They were welcoming and kind, and went out of their way to provide excellent service. On the day we checked out, we planned to leave very early, before the Ryokan shuttle service was scheduled to start, and were going to take the bus to the train station. The staff saw us leaving and insisted they drive us instead because it was so hot and humid outside. It was such a kind gesture and we are so grateful! We hope to come back at a later time and we will definitely stay here again!

First to clarify, I didn’t stay here so can’t comment on the hotel itself, other Ryokans recommend this place for a “western style breakfast” Coffee was very cold and average. 1/5 (¥800 for a double shot latte) Breakfast baguettes were good. 3.5/5 (¥1000 for baguette) Baked goods 2.5/5 (¥400 each) Atmosphere was nice, and food was quick.

Great experience! We were not expecting the front desk staff to be able to speak English at all, but the young man's English was perfect! He provided any details we could possibly need to know about Onsens, the hotel with its services, and any other questions we had. We stayed in the traditional style Japanese room and it felt extremely spacious with tons of room for luggage and storage. The beds were surprisingly comfy, although it does take a little bit to make them up so if you were coming late at night you might get tired making your bed. The pillows were hard but we asked and received softer ones. Nearby Onsens were nice but EXTREMELY hot in the summer since the hot water is left on and took a lot of cold water to cool down. #9 was the most pleasant I believe.

Staff had awesome English and were very accommodating. Room was super nice, clean and fairly large. Hotel has a cute bar area to hang out. It was really easy to walk to the 9 onsens (note the photos are a bit misleading, this ryokan has no private onsen - but you get a key to access the 9 public ones in the town for free). They provide robes and wooden sandals.

The welcome was absolutely wonderful! The staff make you feel comfortable right away and are always available if you need anything. It truly feels like home here cozy, friendly, and perfectly located. Highly recommended! 💯

The staff wow they are absolutely awesome especially the driver he was absolutely fantastic picked us up late at night from the station and dropped us off In the morning he also helped us buy our tickets such a nice guy!

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.

The Buddhist statue is worth a look if you are close by. Not as spectacular as the temples but still worth a look.

It is a beautiful place to visit and if you're keen do the walk and visit all three statues

Very peaceful and completely empty when we visited close to Christmas. Loved the huge cast bronze bell. Access to the Buddha base was locked, which was fine. Clean toilets. Nice outlook over Yamanouchi.

Peaceful , quiet place.

If you have time after visiting the monkey park, I suggest taking a stroll to see the grounds. You can avoid the steps by taking a left at the end of the block and enjoy the stroll up next to an apple orchard!

This is actually a replica of the original statue that stood here. During World War II, the original statue was melted down, and the metal was used to make bullets and weapons. This happened to lots of bronze statues throughout Japan during that time. It was rebuilt later on.

Quiet, not a lot going on in the area outside of the skiing season! But we enjoyed the walk around while there in late April - very peaceful

Not much to see.

(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) A temple related to Takeda Shingen. It was a very relaxing place, and the sound of the bells that could be heard throughout the day was elegant. I thought it was even more beautiful in the evening due to the direction of the slope. (Original) 武田信玄公縁のお寺。 とても落ち着く場所でした、時より聴こえる鐘の音も雅。 斜面の方角的に夕方が尚綺麗だと思いました。

This is Takamagahara Snow Resort. This resort is located in the center of the Shigs Kogen Central Area, this is why you can easily go to various snow resorts around here. However, in my case, I don't use this resort because it's difficult to find a car paking lot. Anyone tell me where to park my car for day-visitors.

I love skiing. There’s an amazing restaurant here I eat at every day

Visited: 2022-01 Conditions: Powder Great place to be on a powder day. The quad lift is fast and theres a lot of powder on both sides. Just be careful of the cross over between the two sides of the quad lift.

Cheap as great fun

It would be so much fun in winter! It’s a really good place for winter sports!

Excellent large ski area, connected to some other 10 of the 18 ski resorts of Shiga Kogen. You can expect good snow conditions most of the winter. Not crowded except weekends. Mostly Japanese visitors; fewer foreigners than Niseko and Hakuba. Lift passes are at 6500 Yen per day - with that pass, you can ski in all resorts of this huge area. Passes are 5600 Yen for seniors (60+). Snow patrol helped me find my iPhone buried in snow on top of the hill - most helpful!!!

Great snow, great elevation. Huge range of slopes, lots of varied terrain. Everyone is friendly, even if there are language barriers. Everyone is there to have a great time, so you can bet that you will too!

This was such a special experience. The hike to the park was breathtaking and we were not disappointed with the amount of monkeys we saw. We went in winter during peak sighting time, so make sure you plan around the season and the peak time the monkeys are active.

Must go if you go to Kosatsu Onsen.

Any change in trie mixie scalar x kesar pics through al natu koli

Stunning landscape that feels almost illustrated. The Japanese macaques are cool if you're able to spot them; they are more dispersed and harder to find in the Summer

It was an amazing place, a lot of tourists, beautiful .

Beautiful park and scenic route. Friendly neighborhood foxes along the road, too.

Very good

Beautiful view on clear days. The food is fine. During peak seasons, there is very little space and very long lines, especially whenever a gondola (~85 people) arrives - there is definitely not enough space for that many people.

Had a great bolognese pasta and margherita pizza along with a hazy view of the mountainside. It’s a lovely spot for a date so I recommend it to couples or nature lovers, but we happened to go on a day which was completely overcast, so we weren’t able to enjoy much of a vista. Nonetheless, the food at this cafe was good and the lack of a view was not their fault. We enjoyed that they had a big projector playing kids shows near the main area, as well as bubbles blowing from a machine out on the patio. ‘Twas a delight!

View is amazing. We also bought drinks from caffe. That was very sweet.

The gondola experience is nice but do check the weather forecast .

We arrived at around 11:30, there isn’t much queue to purchase the ticket, and we waited less than 10 minutes to get onboarded to the ropeway, it runs every 20 minutes. The ride is around 10 minutes to get up to the top of the mountains. You get a good view of the towns, rivers and mountains around this area. After a 30 minutes walk, we rested at the cafe for a drink where you can enjoy the greenery, peace and serenity. You could actually spend a couple of hours here as they served lunch and drinks. In total we spent an hour and the half which will be recommended. Bring along a jacket as it get chilling up there.

Narrating my winter visit experience when the area was covered with snow during the first week of January. Accessible by private vehicle only till the ski resort, where we park and then purchase ropeway tickets to Sora Terrace for 2500 yen per person. Two ropeways and one gondola ride are required. The breathtaking view, open cafe until 1630, and restaurant until 1500 make it a beautiful winter destination. Ensure to wear snow boots or arrive early to rent them.

Place is a good get away for summer. But the weather is slightly unpredictable. We reached the ticket counter at 17:00 and it was cloudy weather. So they had to suddenly suspend the ropeway from 17:45 due to rain and lightning forecast. Luckily we got the 17:20 ropeway to the top. Also, they informed us that return ropeway from top also might not run as per schedule so we might have to wait for it on the top. After a while the weather was improved and they began to run the ropeway too. There is cafe, varieties of flowers and walk around space on the top. We could capture beautiful scenes. But the “sea of clouds” view is rarely caught. Overall it is a good experience for ropeway and view from top of terrace.

Nice resort with lots and lots of slopes. They don't fill the lifts, so expect a lot lower capacity (and therefore weight) than they state on the website. Also don't count on the shuttle buses to go back. February weekend was not too crowded.

There were lots of different sleds and ski type toys for little kids to ride on. Ideal for pre-school kids. There was a nicely made slope and a conveyor belt to get to the top. There was even a "sand pit" area to play with the snow. Nearby toilets were convenient enough. There are other hotels and restaurants within a short walk. While we were there we saw a troop of snow monkeys and it started snowing too.

First time to visit Maruike Ski snow resort and snowing day. I don’t to do skiing but enjoying playing the snow with my friends in the lower grown in kids area.

Great day of playing on a small slope with the kids with free use of all the equipment and only ¥1000 each! There is a restaurant there but only limited options. If you’re looking for a quiet place to have fun with the kids, this is it!

There's a free access area with a small slope right at the entrance. Suitable for kids. Adults also can use. Various items like tubes, sledges like stuff are available for free to ride down the slope. Wearing proper, water proof snow clothes, boots and gloves are recommended specially for kids. (I wore sneakers :)

Very nice family friendly resort. Adults can enjoy skiing too outside and inside the kids park area. Kids park area tickets are for 1500 yen/ adult. The park includes using the kids toys. The pro ski tools rent are for 4000 yen (3 pieces rental). Rental shop is under the nextby restaurant. In general, the place is cheaper than the pro ski resorts and safer for children.

I didn't ski here. The ski area is easily accessible by car and public transport. As with many of the ski areas in Shiga Kogen there is a hotel at the base of the slope. The Maruike Hotel has a cafeteria, cafe, gift shop and ski rental. They also offer adapted equipment for disabled skiers. There is a children's sledding play area.

Great progression for all levels . Heaps of jump and rail / box options that kept us entertained all day. We’ll be back.

Must recommended for beginners and intermediate learners. There are multiple planes to slide down from. However, it is little bit expensive for rental and purchase of gears here compared to other places. Location wise, it's perfect for snow boarding and skiing. Bus service is available from different places to here and vice versa. Lockers costs 300 yen which is one time lock system. If we open locker then we have to insert coin again to lock it which is not good system in my opinion. Restaurant is also available on the same building on top floor which if you purchase pass to here includes some discount on foods or lunch. There is smoking area too which is convenient for smoker but it is on the way to outside. Thus, making it inconvenient for non smokers as they have to pass through smoking zone. However, there are other entrance or exit doors too. Overall, it was good experience besides being little expensive.

X-JAM is a wonderful ski resort nestled in the mountains of Nagano. By itself, it's not too big of a ski area, but it is connected to the nearby Yomase Ski area, and you can use both areas ski lifts with your ticket. It has a good range or beginner and intermediate slopes, with a few upper level slopes higher up the mountain. One good point about the slopes here is that they aren't just straight, boring slopes. Many curve around, and go through the forest to provide beautiful scenery as you ski down the mountain.

Nice skiing and snowboarding place. There're various traits for you to choose. Snow is beautiful and the rental price is cheap.

Great place to come skiing in the Nagano area. The slopes are nicely tended but the lifts lack security in the form of safety bars so some caution is advised. Also, priced are reasonable considering ski resorts are infamous for price gouging.

Nice ski park. Staff was very nice and friendly. Although they can not speak English, they try their best to assist us.

on a long wkend it is not crowded. very good and i will come again

(Translated by Google) Since the forecast was for rain in the afternoon, I climbed the mountain from Yomase Ski Resort, which was a quick way to climb the mountain. A simple course that starts from the lift platform and climbs up beside the lift. After reaching the top of the lift, it finally became a mountain path and started to feel like mountain climbing. From there it was a steep climb and we reached the top in about 30 minutes. The course was boring and unchanging, but the view was good so I felt like I was able to hold out. We do not recommend the course from Yomase Ski Resort. (Original) 午後から雨降りの予報だったので手っ取り早く登れる、よませスキー場から登山しました。 リフト乗り場から始まり、ひたすらリフトの脇を登る単純なコース。リフトの最上まで続くと、その先からようやく山道になり登山らしくなりました。 そこから急登になり、30分程度で頂上へ着きました。 コースは変わり映えなくつまらなかったけど眺めは良いので持ちこたえられたという感じ。 よませスキー場からのコースはあまりオススメしません。

There is a restaurant near by this place. Inside the reataurant there is a roof top you can snap photo of the view

(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。

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)

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.

decent slopes for beginners and intermediate. the walk to the first ski lift is quite far and uphill

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 ☕

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!!

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.

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

Beautiful resort! Definitely coming back. Best skiing in my life

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

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.

Nice selection of slopes und connection to rest of Shiga Kogen resort. The lifts are very outdated

You can rent snowshoes for 1000 yen and walk through the forest where there’s a road covered in snow. It was a beautiful experience.

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.

Here is the top of Mt. Yokote, easy to get the top by lift and or elevator. It’s fantastic to view Japanese Alps fro the top of Yokote, absolutely exclusive view.

view is wide open and spectacular. Cafe is cozy.

Beautiful and cozy place. Loved the views

(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。

Relative to the region, this is a good ski resort and worth visiting. I strongly recommend staying for at least 2 full days in order to properly explore all the trails. You cannot ski the whole thing in a day, don't waste your time. That being said, this mountain is infuriating to traverse. Unlike many ski mountains, this is an association of 5 different ski mountains, 1 of which is about 15min away (by car) from the rest. Each mountain is self-contained with the bare minimum effort spent in connecting them to form a single, cohesive experience. If you like waddling uphill in your skis or taking shuttles, then you've come to the right place. The Central area, which is the main feature, is a maze of trails and lifts leaving you puzzling over your map at every turn. Another annoying detail is there is no singular digital map available for the entire region, you've got to download the individual resort maps, which aren't very high resolution. They do provide a paper map of the whole region, but it's a cumbersome beast to wield. Last real gripe is that the lifts are old, slow, and uncomfortable. This whole place gives off the vibes that the last time it was infused with significant investment money was the 1998 Olympics. I could gripe more, but in the end it was still fun. If you are driving, be warned, the road up the mountain is a beast! You need good tires and a set of chains ready to go. I'd even go as far to say that a 2WD car, even with snow tires and chains, might not make it in an active snow storm.

El Niño hasn’t been kind to the Nagano area this winter, so I’m writing this report imagining better conditions and more snow than we got this year. If you are a beginning to intermediate skier, this collection of ski resorts is amazing! So many groomed runs to choose from. If you are an advanced skier, there aren’t many higher level groomed runs. With more snow, there may be ungroomed/tree runs to find, but I don’t know to what extent off-groomer use is permissible. If you are a higher intermediate to advanced skier, BRING YOUR OWN SETUP. The quality of the rental equipment was really bad, and obviously geared towards newer skiers. The boots had so much flex in them that it felt like I was wearing a touring boot in uphill mode. So I spent the day trying not to die and had to stop early because I had to overcompensate by tightening them to max, and my toes went numb. Giving 4 stars because it’s a great place with so many lifts! But the high cost of bad rental gear really affected my experience. So that’s something to be aware of and plan for, if helpful.

(Translated by Google) 1/16 The coldest wave of the year has arrived! It was so bad that most of the lifts stopped working, and I thought the strong winds and whiteout would be dangerous, so I took a rest at a mountain station. The day ended without being able to ski, and I was looking forward to the next day, and unexpectedly, Pecan! We attacked from Okushiga Kogen! As the name suggests, this is Japan's largest ski slope, but in order to conquer all the slopes (18 slopes are grouped together at Shiga Kogen Ski Resort, you can go around them all with a lift ticket), you need to take a bus instead of using a lift. . You won't know until you go... You can connect the left half with a lift. Is this enough? The bear drop of uncompacted snow will be buried. It's not that long, so it's over in an instant, but it's dangerous if you fall. Beginners should stop. There is a non-compacted snow zone in front of it, so I think it's best to enjoy it there. However, don't attack the left side too much. (danger) You can also enjoy the expert course with a slope of about 30. Skiers are having fun carving. I went straight down from the middle and got 72km on my board (lol) The ski slopes in Nagano seem to stick to the edges and are slippery. It's basically below freezing, so the snow doesn't melt and accumulates, so it's good to have something as soft as a memory foam futon. I wasn't able to go to the top of Mt. Yokote, but it's said that the view is spectacular and you can see Mt. Fuji on a clear day. It's a shame. It was a huge ski resort that couldn't be described in just one day. (Original) 1/16今年一番の寒波到来！しすぎて、ほぼリフトは止まり、暴風、ホワイトアウトは危険と思い、山の駅で休みました。その日は滑ることができないまま終わり、翌日に期待し、まさかのピーカン！奥志賀高原から攻めました！ 日本一の広さのゲレンデはその名の通り、ただ全てのゲレンデ（18のゲレンデをまとめ志賀高原スキー場　リフト券で全て回れる）を制覇するにはリフトを経由ではなくバスに乗る必要があります。行ってみないと分からないことですね…。向かって左半分程はリフトで繋いで行けます。これだけでも十分か…。 非圧雪の熊落としは埋もれます。それ程長くないので一瞬で終わりますが、転けたらヤバイですね。初心者は止めておきましょう。その手前に非圧雪ゾーンあるので、そこで満喫が良いと思います。ただしあんまり左側を攻めないことですね。（危険） あとエキスパートコースは斜度30ほどで楽しめます。スキーヤーが楽しくカービングしてますね。私は真ん中から直滑降したらボードで72キロ出てました（笑） 長野のゲレンデはエッジに吸い付くようで滑りやすいですね。基本氷点下なので、雪が溶けなく積もるので低反発の布団のような柔らかさで良いです。 横手山の頂上に行けませんでしたが、絶景で晴れた日には富士山が見えるらしいです。残念です。 1日では語れないスケールのデカいスキー場でしたね。

(Translated by Google) It's hard to tell because everyone calls it Shiga Kogen Ski Resort, but it's actually a collection of small ski resorts! If you're not sure where to go, I think it's safe to go to the mountain station. The downside is that the time you can ski is short! 16:30 is the last gondola ride back to the mountain station. And a lift ticket to ski all areas! It's so spacious! A ski resort in the mountains with the scent of hot springs Although the facilities are all old, they are quaint and attractive. I think there are fewer people on weekdays compared to Hakuba and Niigata. It's best to research hot springs for day trips. From what I've heard, the reception is open until 3pm and there are many places that don't offer day trips. We recommend staying at a good hot spring hotel or going down to the Shibu Onsen area. I skied for 2 days from 2024/02/13 to 2/14. On the first day, I skated in the central area. The view from Terakoyama is the best. There were many places to enjoy the terrain, and there were many places to ski in the forest. On the second day, we went to the Shibutoge area. It was windy so I couldn't ski the Shibu Pass area, but you can climb up to Manten View and see all of the Alps. (Original) みんな志賀高原スキー場と言うので、分かりづらいのですが、小さなスキー場の集まりです！どこに行けばいいか迷ったときは、山の駅に行くのが無難だと思います。欠点は滑れる時間が短い！16:30が山の駅に戻ってくるゴンドラのラストです。 そして、全エリアを滑れるリフト券！ めちゃくちゃ広い！ 温泉の香り漂う山にあるスキーリゾート地 全体的に古い施設ばかりだけど、趣きあって魅力的です。 白馬や新潟に比べると平日は人が少ないと思う。 日帰り温泉はちゃんと調べての方がいいです。 聞いた話しだと、３時までの受付だし日帰りやっていないとこが多いらしい。 おすすめは、良い温泉のホテルに泊まるか、渋温泉周辺まで下りて入る。 2024/02/13〜2/14の２日滑ってきました。 初日は、セントラルエリアを滑ってきました。寺小山からの眺めが最高。地形も楽しめるところがたくさんあるし、林の中も滑れるところがたくさんありました。 ２日目は渋峠エリアに。風が強くて渋峠エリアは滑れなかったけど、満天ビューまでは登れてアルプスを全部見ることができます。

(Translated by Google) Shiga Kogen Ski Resort is a wonderful place surrounded by magnificent nature. Skiers will love the rich snow quality and variety of courses. Particularly attractive is the variety of slopes that everyone from beginners to experts can enjoy. The lifts and facilities are well-equipped, and access is good. Rentals and lessons are also available, so even first-timers can enjoy it with confidence. There is also an observation deck that offers a panoramic view of the snowy landscape, making it a great spot for non-skiers as well. During the ski season, you can enjoy hot springs in the snow and feel refreshed. Although it can be crowded during the season, the combination of majestic nature and thrilling ski trails will provide you with a pleasant skiing experience. (Original) 志賀高原スキー場は雄大な自然に囲まれた素晴らしい場所。豊富な雪質と多彩なコースがスキーヤーに喜ばれます。特に初心者から上級者まで楽しめるバラエティ豊かな斜面が魅力的。リフトや施設も整備されており、アクセスも良好。レンタルやスクールも充実しているため、初めての方でも安心して楽しめます。雪景色が一望できる展望台もあり、非スキーヤーも楽しめるポイント。スキーシーズンには雪の中で温泉も楽しめ、リフレッシュできます。シーズン中は混雑することもありますが、雄大な自然とスリリングなスキーコースが合わさり、心地よいスキーエクスペリエンスが待っています。

(Translated by Google) Borders are difficult to move because there is a lot of horizontal movement. Other than that, I have no particular complaints. It's a very spacious and fun slope. (Original) 横の移動が多くてボーダーは移動が大変。 他は特に不満はありません。 とても広くて楽しいゲレンデです。

(Translated by Google) The slopes are great, but the lift fee of 7,500 yen is too expensive. Is it because of rising fuel prices? Will it become cheaper if fuel prices fall? (Original) ゲレンデは最高なんですが、リフト代７５００円は高すぎです。燃油高騰のためなんでしょうか？燃油代が落ちつけば安くなるんでしょうか？

Not challenging at all. Even the black seems like a beginner can ski on. It took 5 minutes to get up the mountain and 2 minutes down. I am not impressed with the mountain but the view from the top is absolutely beautiful.

This is Ichinose "Diamond" Snow Resort. There are 3 areas in Ichinose Snow Resort. The Diamond is a small area and has a few gentle slopes, recommended for beginners and or kids for practice.

Great place to practice those carv wish the course would be longer

Awesome snow, great restaurant options and friendly staff

Great slopes and fast lift lines

Nice place to snowboard. Wide area.

Many beginners Go slow to avoid them

(Translated by Google) At the beginning of the climb, the path is gentle, but as you get closer to the top, you will need mountaineering equipment. It is best to wear non-slip shoes and gloves. (Original) 登りはじめは 緩やかな道だけど 頂上に近くなると登山装備が必要になります。 滑りにくい靴、手袋は あった方が良いです。

(Translated by Google) Climbing Mt. Shiga on a day trip. It was over 35°C down there, but Shiga was a different world at 17°C❗️ I got to see the beautiful blue of the sky and the blue of Onuma Pond. (Original) 日帰りで志賀山登山 下界は35℃超え、志賀は17℃別世界❗️ 空の青、大沼池の青、良い青色見させてもらいました

(Translated by Google) Shigayama. Although it is not included in the 300 famous mountains, it is included in the New 100 Famous Mountains of Japan. Compared to the other 300 famous mountains in Shiga Kogen, the mountain itself is a little ordinary, but as an experience, it will be the best way to enjoy Shiga Kogen. (Original) シガヤマ。三百名山には入っていないものの新日本百名山には入っている。他の志賀高原の三百名山クラスと比べると山自体はやや平凡だが、体験としては最も志賀高原を満喫できるものになるだろう。

(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. (Original) この辺一帯は危険個所もなく登りやすい花と湿原が多い美しい山です。15㎞ほど一周する予定でしたが夕立の匂いがしたため最後は予定を短縮しました。駐車場に着いたとたんに激しい夕立。標高の高い山は常にエスケープルートを考えておかないといけないなーと思った登山でした。雨上がりの木道は滑るので要注意です

(Translated by Google) The walking distance is short and it is very well maintained and easy to walk (^-^) It's quiet and the air is clear! It was a fairly steep climb around the summit. (Original) 歩行距離短く、とても良く整備されていて歩きやすいです(^-^)とにかく静かで空気が澄んでいます！山頂周辺はそこそこ急登でした。

(Translated by Google) I walked from Mt. Urashiga to Mt. Shiga. Although the footing was bad in some places, it was wonderful to see the sea of ​​clouds from the top of the mountain. The descent felt more difficult than the ascent. I think it would have been better to go from Mt. Shiga to Mt. Urashiga and then to Onuma Pond. . (Original) 裏志賀山から志賀山へ歩きました。足場が悪いところもありましたが、山頂からは雲海も拝め、素晴らしかったです。 下りは登りよりも大変に感じました。志賀山から裏志賀山へ、そして大沼池に行った方がよかったかなと。。

Thanking the God of all creations for this awesome experience!

Amazing views. Must see in japan.

When the weather permits , amazing views

Mountain climbing the easy way. Spectacular views from the top.

1000yeb for round trip, you can go to the top using the lift after the regulator.

Highest national road in Japan

Great views!

It costs ¥500 per adult to enter. The museum is located right near the bus stop that heads back to Nagano station. It's a good place to stop by if you are waiting for the bus and want to warm up after visiting Snow Monkey World. The art display was contemporary but there were no English explanations so it was difficult to understand what the artist was thinking. The building is very cool!

To be honest, it is a nice clean place with (the time I was there) 80% worthy weird art and 20% Roman art (glass pieces). So, do not expect a European Roman museum, just flow with the place.

Honestly I only came here as they let you store luggage at 500 yen per luggage, which is useful if when you finish seeing the snow monkey park you will take the bus straight to Yudanaka Station.

500 yen entrance per adult. The ground floor has beautiful glass sculptures and the second floor has many Japanese paintings, letters, and tools related to Yamanouchi. Some English titles but you'll mostly be able to only tell the year the art was made in.

A nice place near the monkey park. There was a Nagano Olympic &Paralympic games memorial which was free. The museum also has a cafe inside which is a perfect place to wait for the bus since the bus stop is near the place.

Great little museum in an amazing building (seriously, the architecture itself of the first gallery with the artifacts is worth seeing). The 2nd floor had an impressive gallery of local artwork on temporary exhibition. Good place while waiting for the bus back to Nagano, but I would recommend allowing AT LEAST 20 minutes to comfortably look at the artwork… I did a 9 minute speed run of the museum right before the bus came which was not enough time to fully appreciate the displays.

There was 2-level exhibition hall in the museum. I started from the upper one - it was photography exhibition which display the photos of natural and animals. The lower one was displaying Art of Glass Figure. I liked the silent ambience, however, overall the exhibition was a bit tedious. By the way, photography is allowed inside.

(Translated by Google) This is the place to visit during spring skiing. The scenery is very nice 👍 I used to be able to read the letters on the stakes💦 I look forward to it every year. (Original) 春スキーの時に訪れるところです。 景色が非常に素晴らしい👍 昔は杭の文字が読めたのだが💦 毎年、楽しみにしています。

(Translated by Google) It is recommended because not many people come (not stop) (Original) あまり人が来ない(止まらない)のでオススメです

I have come to this place for the first time.But after coming here, when I saw the view here, it was very nice and the blue sky looks very beautiful.😀😀☺️. I will stay here tonight.

Awesome views in every direction

(Translated by Google) I visited on a pilgrimage to the Yuru Camp△ holy land. The view from the mountaintop observation deck is truly spectacular! Although I couldn't see Mt. Fuji, I enjoyed watching the scenery change from dusk to sunset. There is a campsite and toilets nearby, so you can stay there with peace of mind. However, the road is quite narrow and there are many places where it is difficult to pass other vehicles, so be careful if you are not used to driving (it feels like a forest road). The view changes greatly depending on the weather and time of day, so it is a plateau where you can discover new charms every time you visit. If you have the chance, please come again! (Original) ゆるキャン△聖地巡礼で来訪。山頂展望台からの眺めは本当に絶景！富士山こそ見えなかったものの、夕方から日没にかけての景色の移ろいを楽しめました。 近くにはキャンプ場やトイレも整備されていて、安心して滞在できます。ただ、道中はかなり細く、すれ違い困難な箇所も多いので、運転に不慣れな方は要注意（林道に近い印象）。 天気や時間帯によって見える景色が大きく変わるので、訪れるたびに新たな魅力が発見できそうな高原ですね。機会があればまた是非！

(Translated by Google) We visited on a Laid-Back Camp trip, parked next to the campsite, and walked to the top of Takabocchi Plateau. We reached the top in no time. Unfortunately, there were clouds on the side of Lake Suwa, but there were no clouds in the opposite direction and we could see a wonderful view. It's a very pleasant place. (Original) ゆるキャン旅で訪問、キャンプ場の側に駐車し高ボッチ高原山頂まで歩きます。 あっという間に頂上に、残念ながら諏訪湖側は雲がかかってましたが反対方向は雲もなく素晴らしい風景が見られました。 とても気持ちの良い場所です。

Gorgeous overlook of Lake Suwa in Nagano. Road is pretty narrow in places and also very rutty. (Is that even a word?) Anyway take it nice and slow and enjoy the view at the top. Also your question about why there are 10 taxis at the hotel that is on the way to the top is legit. I have no idea either.

(Translated by Google) It's just under an hour's drive from the town center to the parking lot almost at the peak. From there it's about 10 minutes to the summit. The views are spectacular. The south side of the peak, with its panoramic view of Lake Suwa, is a great photo spot where you'll find yourself holding your smartphone. It's a great place for children's first mountain climb, or you can just take a short drive and tackle the mountain trails. If you head out in the morning from the Matsumoto side (or Shiojiri side), you can be back by noon. It's the perfect place for a casual mountain climbing experience. (Original) 町中から車で1時間弱ほどで、ほぼ山頂の駐車場まで行き着ける。そこから10分ほどで頂上。景色は抜群。諏訪湖の全景を見渡せる頂上南側は思わずスマートフォンを構えてしまう撮影スポットです。 子どもの初めての登山にもいいですし、ちょっとしたドライブで山道を攻めても楽しめます。 松本側（もしくは塩尻側）から朝おでかけすれば、昼前には戻ってこれるくらい。気軽に山登り体験するにはもってこいです。

(Translated by Google) The road along the way is not very good, but the scenery on the plateau is very nice. At this time of year, you should be able to see all the way to Mt. Fuji. (Original) 道中の道はあまり良くはありませんが、高原での景色はとても良い。これからの時期だと富士まで良く見えるはずです。

(Translated by Google) The parking lot has a good turnover, and even when it looks full, there are cars that come out. I feel like I can get to the top quicker than using the Skyraft. There's a big temperature difference between here and the summit, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket or cardigan. It was nice to be able to enjoy the summer flowers. (Original) 駐車場の回転が良く、満車のようでも出てくる車があります。スカイレーターを使うより早く頂上に行ける気がします。頂上との温度差があるのでジャケットやカーディガンを１枚持った方が良いです。 夏の花なども楽しめて気持ち良かったです。

(Translated by Google) With the temperature at 20 degrees, I was able to fully enjoy the refreshing highlands. The round-trip lift ride was 2,000 yen. It would be a shame to enjoy both the lift and the scenery alone. I noticed later that on the back of the ticket there was an introduction to the mountain range visible in the distance. (Original) 気温20度、清々しい高原を満喫できました。 リフトは往復2,000円 リフトも景色も1人ではもったいないです。 後で気が付きましたがチケットの裏に 遠くに見える連山の紹介があります

(Translated by Google) Round trip fare is 2,000 yen. Cash only. If you're heading to the summit of Mt. Yokote from the Gunma side, start from Shibu Pass! (Original) 往復2000円。 現金のみです。 群馬県側から横手山山頂に行く場合は渋峠がスタートです！

(Translated by Google) It's a low-rise lift. It's not scary because it's close to the ground. On a clear day, you can see the mountains all the way to the distance. (Original) 低層のリフトです。 地上との距離近いので怖くないですよ。 快晴だと、かなり遠くの山々まで見渡せます🎵

(Translated by Google) This lift operates from Shibu Pass to Yokoteyama, even in the summer. I only used it one way there, and walked down the mountain on the way back. It was during the summer holidays, but since it was before 9am, the lift was pretty much all to ourselves. It was really interesting to be able to view the Veitchis and Maries' Fir forests from above. I was able to observe lots of distinctive black pine cones. (Original) 渋峠から横手山まで夏季にも営業してくれているリフトです。 往路の片道だけ利用。帰りは徒歩で下山しました。 夏休み期間中だったのですが、9時前だったのでほぼ貸切状態でした。 シラビソかオオシラビソの森林帯を上から眺められるのがとても面白かったです。 独特な黒い松ぼっくりがたくさん観察できました。

(Translated by Google) The first place I visited in Shiga Kogen was Mt. Yokote. I went there to see the autumn leaves, but the temperature was low and it was cold. The view from the Manten View Terrace was also good, but there were occasional clouds, so I couldn't see far into the distance. (Original) 志賀高原は、最初は「横手山」に訪れます。今回も紅葉目当てで行きましたが、気温も低く、寒かった。 満点ビューテラスからの眺めも良かったですが、時折雲がかかったりしたので、遠くの景色までは見れなかったです。

(Translated by Google) August 1, 2022 (Reiwa 4), 1:00 PM onwards This is a pair lift that takes you to the summit of Mt. Yokote. There's also another route that involves a Skyrat and a lift, but we took this one this time. The lift has 20 support posts, so you can enjoy it for quite a long time. Looking back from the lift, the small Shibu Toge Hotel adds to the atmosphere! (Original) 2022(令和4年)8/1　13:00~ 横手山山頂に行けるペアリフトです。もう一箇所スカイレーターとリフトを乗り継いで行くルートもありますが今回はこちらを利用しました。リフトの支柱が20本あり結構長い時間楽しむ事が出来ます。 リフト上で振り返ると小さく見える渋峠ホテルが雰囲気を盛り上げてくれました!

Beautiful

Beautiful 😍

(Translated by Google) I visited Kido Pond in May during a business trip to Nagano. Perhaps because it wasn't the peak viewing season, the greenery around the pond hadn't yet grown in abundance, giving it a slightly lonely impression. However, this actually accentuated the serenity, which isn't so bad... but the quiet beauty of the pond made me want to come back during the peak viewing season! There were many carp swimming in the pond, and they came flying towards me when I got close - it was so cute. The soothing effect of nature was outstanding. It was a place that made me want to return next time, aiming for the new greenery or the peak of the autumn leaves. (Original) 木戸池へ長野出張中の5月に訪問しました。 見頃の季節ではなかったからか、池の周囲の緑はまだ生い茂っておらず、少し寂しげな印象。でも、それが逆に静寂を際立たせていて、これはこれで悪くない…ですが、見頃の季節にもぜひ来たい！と思わせる静かな美しさがありました。 池には鯉がたくさん泳いでいて、 近づくとこちらに寄ってきて、とっても可愛かったです。自然の癒やし効果バツグン。次は新緑か紅葉のピークを狙ってリベンジしたい、そう思える場所でした。

(Translated by Google) Kido Pond in Shiga Kogen is a relatively small pond at an altitude of around 1,600m. It is not a particularly impressive pond, but there is a hiking trail that leads from the edge of the pond to Tanohata Marsh, and once you cross a small hill you can reach Tanohata Marsh, which offers a magnificent view. (Original) 志賀高原にある木戸池は、標高１６００m付近にある割と小さな池です。余り印象に残る感じの池では有りませんが、池の端から田ノ原湿原に至る登山道が有り、小さな丘を越えると、素晴しい景色の田ノ原湿原に行くことが出来ます。

(Translated by Google) I came here to take pictures of Mt. Kasatake. There was a wind and I couldn't get a good shot of the reflection on the water surface. There is a boardwalk that goes around the pond, so there is no need to worry. (Original) 笠岳を撮りに来た。風があり水面の反射はうまく撮れなかった。池を一周する木道がついているので心配ない。

(Translated by Google) It's not that big, but it has a nice atmosphere. It was a good season. I think there's a hotel nearby, given the view. (Original) それほど大きいものではないですが、いい雰囲気の景観です。季節的にも良かったです。近くにホテルがあるのも、この景観ならば、と思います。

(Translated by Google) The pond was beautiful. The view from the road down to Yamada Ranch was also amazing. 2023.11 (Original) 池が綺麗でした。ここから山田牧場に降りていく道の景色も最高です。 2023.11

Short pathway with no great interest. Only the temple at the end of the path is nice to see/visit.

(Translated by Google) There are haiku by Kobayashi Issa here and there. This mountain forest road is about 1km long and is not paved. We recommend that you wear comfortable walking shoes. The view through the gaps in the trees is beautiful. (Original) ところどころに小林一茶の俳句があります。およそ1キロ弱の山道林道で舗装などはされていません。歩きやすい靴で行く事をお勧めします。木々の隙間から見える景色が良いです。

(Translated by Google) It was nice to have a refreshing walking path. (Original) 清々しく歩ける散歩道で良かった。

(Translated by Google) Issa's walking path is steep. (Original) 一茶の散歩道は険しいです。

(Translated by Google) A very easily accessible pond in Shiga Kogen. Sun Valley Ski Resort can be seen on the opposite bank. There is "Biwa Pond" just below, but you can't get there from here. Water flows down from this round pond to Biwa Pond. There are public toilets nearby across the road. Leave your car here and walk to Maruike. (Original) 志賀高原の中ではとても簡単にアクセスできる池。 対岸にはサンバレースキー場が見えます。 すぐ下には『琵琶池』がありますが、ここからは行けません。 琵琶池へこの丸池から水が流れ落ちます。 道路を挟んで公衆トイレが近くにあります。 ここに車を置いて『丸池』まで歩いて行きます。

(Translated by Google) I stopped by on May 4th when I was coming down from Shibu Pass on a touring trip. Along the way, the pond started to come into view, so I was thinking if there was a place to stop along the road to see the pond, I happened to find it. The pond had a very atmospheric atmosphere, and the waterside deck was nice and stylish. (Original) ５月４日ツーリングで渋峠から下ってきた時に立ち寄りました。途中で池が段々目に入るようになってきたので何処か道路沿いに止まれる所があれば池をみたいと思っていた時に偶然に見つけました。とても雰囲気のある池で水辺のデッキが良い感じで洒落ていました。

(Translated by Google) I went during the autumn leaves🍁 season. Excellent to say the least. (Original) 紅葉🍁の時期に行きました。控えめに言って最高。

(Translated by Google) It was an unfortunate cloudy day at Maruike. There used to be a restaurant along the road? Boat rental shop? The ruins gave me a sense of the times. (Original) 生憎の曇空での丸池でした。以前は道路沿いに食事処？貸ボート屋？の廃墟かあって時代を感じました。

(Translated by Google) ``Maruike'' This pond is also small and you can clearly see the opposite shore and surrounding scenery, so you can't miss it as a photo spot 😝 Several cars can be parked in front of the Maruike signboard! ️ If you can't stop, park at the nearby "Maruike Public Toilet" parking lot and walk about 2 minutes to Maruike👍 Shiga Kogen has many small ponds and is a popular spot during the autumn leaves season. Fog can occur in autumn, creating a fantastical landscape, so you can enjoy the scenery depending on the weather, so long as it's not a rainstorm! ️ (Original) 「丸池」この池も小さく対岸&周囲の景色がはっきりと見えるので、撮影ポイントとして外せないです😝 丸池の看板の前に車が数台停められます‼️ 止められない場合は、近くにある「丸池公衆トイレ」の駐車場に止め、二分ほど歩けば丸池です👍 志賀高原には、小さい池が多数あり紅葉の時期は人気のスポットです🤩😍 秋は霧が発生する事もあり、幻想的な風景に成る場合もあるので、天候に合わせた景色が観られるので、暴風雨でない限り楽しめます‼️

(Translated by Google) A place where I have fond memories of visiting with my family when the Maruike Kanko Hotel existed. At that time, the water was clean and we were able to catch a lot of red trout using spinners. 40 years have passed since then, and now I remember my late father. (Original) 丸池観光ホテルがあった頃、家族で遊びに来た思い出の場所。 当時は水も綺麗でアマゴがスピナーでよく釣れた。 あれから40年、今は亡き父を思い出す。

(Translated by Google) 2023.10.14 The autumn leaves were just in full bloom. (Original) 2023.10.14 ちょうど紅葉🍁真っ盛りでした。

Took me a few minutes to find the path to this one, it’s off to the right side of the one below and up some grassy steps in the hill.

(Translated by Google) Be careful as the stairs are steep. The stamp is currently near the footbath. (Original) 階段が急なので注意。 スタンプは現在足湯近くにあり

(Translated by Google) "Shibuyu Shrine" is a shrine dedicated to Amaterasu Omikami and Sukunahikona no Mikoto. Although the stairs are steep, they have handrails and are easy to climb. On my way back, I met the priest. An old lady over 90 years old. When we talked, her kindness was evident in every part of her. She said that the handrails were installed for the convenience of those going up and down the stairs. Please be careful when shopping. I was deeply grateful for everything. (Original) 「渋湯神社」は天照大神、少彦名神をご祭神とする神社。急な階段ではあるが手すりがついており登りやすい。帰りに出会った、ご神職の方。90歳を超えるおばぁちゃん。言葉を交わさせていただいくと、その節々から優しさが滲み出てました。この手すりは登り降りのためにつけてもらったそう。お買い物も大変、お気をつけてください。全ての事に頭が下がる想いでした。

(Translated by Google) This shrine is located up the stairs from the hot spring town. Although it is an old shrine, it has been well-maintained, showing that it has been watching over the hot spring town since ancient times and has attracted people's faith. It's easy to slip on the stairs when it's snowing, but the snow gives it a more solemn atmosphere, and you can get a panoramic view of the city covered in snow, so be sure to visit while touring the hot springs! (Original) 温泉街から階段を登ったところにある神社です。 温泉街を昔から見守ってきて人々の信仰を集めていたことが伝わるような、古いながらも手入れがされた社殿でした。 雪が降っていると階段で滑りそうになりますが、雪があるぶん厳かな雰囲気もあり、雪景色の街を一望できるので湯巡りのついでに是非訪れてください！

(Translated by Google) The shrine was exposed to the wind and snow without any alterations, giving it a vivid and atmospheric appearance. So is Tenmangu Shrine. It is a place that you have to climb up a path that cannot be called a promenade, so if you are not confident in your legs, please refrain from going there. (Original) 手直しをせず風雪にさらされた様子がありありとしていて趣がある神社でした。天満宮もしかり。遊歩道とは言えない道のりを登ってたどり着ける所ですので足腰に自信がない人は行くのを止めましょう。

(Translated by Google) There are railings at the beginning of the uphill section, but the final section is steep and quiet with no railings. The road is narrow and slightly washed. It’s a one-way journey, so be extremely careful when setting foot in the mountains. (Original) 上山路段初有欄桿，尾段陡悄無欄路窄微洗 單程路來，落山認真要萬分小心

(Translated by Google) 2021/3 Shibuyu Shrine The deities enshrined are Amaterasu Omikami and Kohikonakami It is said to bring you good harvests and safety for your family. West Tenmangu Shrine The enshrined deity is Michizane Sugawara About 5 minutes walk from Shibuyu Shrine. Bishamonten Built in the Edo period and is the guardian deity of Gohonjin Tsubataya. One of the Seven Lucky Gods It is counted as one of the Four Heavenly Kings along with Jikokuten, Zochoten, and Komokuten. About 5 minutes walk from Shibuyu Shrine.

Very small skiresort with a couple of challenging runs. For snowboarders...dont get to the greens. Those are almost flat and you'll end up walking the whole slope. When you go up to the top it's amazing and you can really enjoy the view!

Shame that some lifts weren't open - reduced the options considerably. Poor visibility at the top especially on the Shibutoge side but that's not the resort's fault! Fun intermediate runs and also nice to say you've skied the 2nd highest field in Japan.

Japan's highest ski resort. It's served by a series of unhooded chairlifts which ensure you get thoroughly frozen getting to the top. The top runs are slightly steep and icy and opens up into a wide and flat green run at the bottom. Not recommended for snowboarders unless you can point your board straight. It's so far from the rest of Shiga Kogen so choose wisely

Perfect resort for intermediate skiers, and because it’s off the beaten track, you will have the place to yourselves. We came for the Christmas holidays and didn’t queue once for the ski lifts! The powder was well groomed and even in the late afternoon you could find sections of the piste that had not been skied on from the night before - a dream! A great secret gem close to the “Snow Monkeys”. We enjoyed the restaurants and the fries chicken and wedges were a hit with the kids. The ramen and the borscht also looked amazing! We’ll be back!

This is our favorite part of Shiga. The area tends to be less crowded and the scenery is absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed the snow monsters in this area more than Zao, which tends to be extremely crowded and the weather is more unpredictable. The mountains and skiing are amazing. Highly recommend checking into this area if you are visiting Shiga.

What a place to ski! The powder was perfect in the Shibutoge side -- the slopes were groomed with lots of nice spots to go off piste for untouched powder. The visibility was low at first, but once the clouds blew away, we were treated with beautiful views. We had lunch at Mt. Yokote Hyatt famous for the bread. The borscht soup with bread set was perfect to warm the belly. Lovely view from this restaurant too! One drawback of this resort is it doesn't have many slopes. We pretty much went up and down the same couple of slopes.

One of the best ski areas in Nagano with stunning view !!!

We really enjoyed the untouched powder this resort offers. The trails are groomed for the most part, but there is so much open space at the resort that you can avoid the groomed areas if desired. The Mountain View’s from the top are beautiful. We loved exploring this resort!

Its spring and only 2 chair lifts are running. The snow tends to get icy in the morning but will soften after the sun heats it up. The chair lift is pretty shallow. And if ur getting off the green run. U need to get off as the chairs go all the way up to the top.

Really beautiful rotenburo (露天風呂) outdoor bath surrounded by snow. Extremely strong smell of sulphur. Guess that means it’s good onsen water? 😅

Mountain was badly groomed. Staff was very unaccommodating, several people fell at the chair lift and on multiple occasions staff could/would not stop or slow it down. There is no route guidance. Price high for such a small resort to force people to buy Shiga Kogen all resort ticket. Food is overpriced, 2000 yen for a meal that consists of minced chicken meat. Ketchup packets cost 100 yen. Would not recommend this ski resort at all, would not recommend Shiga Kogen in general.

It's another ski park! Like the rest of Shiga Kogen, the runs are really wide, but the lifts are PAINFULLY slow. Very quiet on weekdays which made for great skiing!

Quiet ski field with nice runs but unfortunate rotten egg gas odour. Also tricky to ski down into the ticket gates. Unfortunate that 1 of the lifts was not running

Little icy in this late season. Only one speed lift. Shibutoge and Yokoteyama across the road is better. But Kumanoyu with its high altitude become much better compared to many place in Japan in late season when it start to rain Bellow 1500m.

Very good place for skiing and snowboarding!! Even for beginners.👍👍👍

Great slopes and view. Very few people on weekdays. Just know that the restaurant at the hotel closes by 2pm. You'll have to go up the first chair lift for the next restaurant that closes by 3pm.

Had the experience of a lifetime! Can't wait go back !!

Small hotel but good meal at dinner

Great powder even late in the day. Small resort.

(Translated by Google) It's flat and easy to ski. You can also go to X-JAM Takai Fuji. Yomase is a place where intermediate skiers can enjoy themselves. Takai Fuji is a place where beginners and park lovers can enjoy themselves on boards. (Original) フラットで滑りやすいです。X-JAM高井富士にも行けます。よませはスキーで中級者が楽しめる。高井富士はボードで初心者もパーク好き者も楽しめるといった感じだと思います😊

(Translated by Google) Used by our family of four for a ski competition. The runs are wide and there are many intermediate slopes, so it's a great ski resort for practice. It's great that you can buy lift tickets with cash not only at the ticket office but also at Apple. (Original) 家族4人でスキー大会で利用。 コースが広く中級斜面が多いので、練習にはとても良いスキー場です。 チケット売り場以外にもアップルでも現金でリフト券が購入出来るのは良いですね。

(Translated by Google) The latter half of the climb involves some steep stairs and rock climbing. You might slip or hit rocks, so it's a good idea to wear hiking shoes. The climb takes about 30 minutes, or 40 minutes at a leisurely pace. (Original) 登り後半はかなり段差のある階段や、岩登りがあります。スリップや岩にぶつけたりする事もありますので、靴は登山用が良いかと思います。 登りは30分、ゆっくりで40分くらいです。

(Translated by Google) From the Chaya trailhead on the mountain pass, you can climb the well-maintained wooden steps and reach the summit in 30 minutes at standard time. However, the wooden stairs gradually become steeper, making you feel like you have to hold on to the handrail. Once you reach the top of the stairs, the trail becomes flat, but just below the summit you have to climb a fairly steep rocky area, albeit a short distance. Please be careful of falling rocks. The rocky area at the top of the mountain is collapsing, and there used to be a route before the current route that went around the rocky area and split into two chains (known as ``Otokozaka'' and ``Onnazaka''). However, it was closed due to collapse. Part of the large rock on which the shrine is placed at the top of the mountain has cracked and fallen. When climbing on large rocks, be careful to make sure there are no cracks. Access to the Chaya trailhead on the pass is by car, so most people climb the mountain round trip, but going down to Kumanoyu Ski Resort is more fulfilling. Without going down to the teahouse on the mountain pass, you can reach Kuma-no-Yu Onsen in 1 hour and 40 minutes from the "branch to Kuma-no-Yu" in the foreground. (Original) 峠の茶屋登山口からなら整備された木段を登って、標準タイムでも30分で山頂に立てます。ただ木製の階段は徐々に急になり、手すりにすがるような傾斜です。階段を登りきるといったん平坦になりますが、山頂直下は短い距離ながらもかなり急な岩場を登ります。落石に注意してください。山頂部の岩場は崩落が進行していて、かつては現在のルートの手前に岩場を回り込んで二手に分かれた鎖場（「男坂」「女坂」と呼ばれていた）があるルートがありましたが、崩壊のため閉鎖になりました。山頂の祠が置かれた大岩も岩盤の一部がスパッと割れて落ちています。大岩の上に乗る場合はヒビがないか気をつけること。 峠の茶屋登山口までのアクセスが車なので、往復登山する人がほとんどですが、熊の湯スキー場へ下ると充実します。峠の茶屋まで下りずに手前の「熊の湯への分岐」から1時間40分で熊の湯温泉です。

(Translated by Google) One of the 300 famous mountains in Japan and one of the 100 famous mountains in Shinshu. It can be confusing because Mount Kasagatake is also one of the 100 famous mountains, but as far as I can tell from reading the sign, this one is written as Mount Kasagatake. Like Mount Yokote, it's easy to get to and the views are amazing. (Original) 日本三百名山、信州百名山。百名山にも笠ヶ岳があるためややこしいが、看板を読む限りこちらは笠岳と表記されている。横手山と同じく簡単な割にすごい景色だ。

(Translated by Google) The hot days continue. I came for a walk over 2,000 meters to cool off. The weather is perfect and the view is spectacular. It may be early in the morning, but the temperature is 15 degrees different from the temperature below. It was a very cool and comfortable walk. It is one of the 300 famous mountains that can be easily reached in about 40 minutes round trip. It's a wonderful mountain, perfect for a hot day. (Original) 暑い日が続きます。 涼を求めて2,000mを超える散歩に来ました。 天候にも恵まれ素晴らしい眺望です。 朝早い事もありますが下界とは15度違いますね。 とても涼しく快適な散歩ができました。 往復40分くらいの気軽に行ける三百名山です。 暑い日にはもってこいの素晴らしい山です。

(Translated by Google) There is parking space for about 5 cars in the hut below. It doesn't take much time, but it's a bit steep, so we recommend wearing military hiking shoes. Even in the summer, it was so cool that I couldn't drink anything because the frozen plastic bottles didn't melt. (Original) 下の小屋に5台ほど駐車スペースがあります。時間はかかりませんが、少し急な山なので、軍手軽登山靴がおすすめです。夏でも涼しく、凍らせたペットボトルが溶けず、何も飲めませんでした。

(Translated by Google) Although it is near Shiga Kogen, there are not many people, probably because the road is narrow. However, if you park your car at the Chaya parking lot at Kasagatake Pass and climb the steep climb for about 30 minutes, you can reach the 2075m peak. I think it's a nice place, albeit a modest one. If the conditions are good, you can see an almost 360 degree panorama. I could also see Shibu Pass on National Route 292, Mt. Asama, and the Northern Alps. (Original) 志賀高原の近くながら道が狭いせいかあまり人がいません。でも、笠ヶ岳峠の茶屋駐車場に車を止めて、急な登りを30分位頑張れば2075ｍの頂上まで行けます。地味ながら良い場所だと思います。条件が良ければほぼ360度のパノラマが見れます。国道292号線の渋峠や浅間山、北アルプスなんかも見えました。

Went as part of a snow monkies tour and ate a meal here. Would have been better if meal was warm but as we waited for others to arrive it had gone a bit cold. We ate upstairs which was also quite cold. The food was tasty and there was warm tea/ coffee available. I would like to try not as part of a tour grouo.

(Translated by Google) I went there when I stayed at Kanbayashi Onsen. The headman's house, which was built during the Ansei era, is a two-story grand building worthy of being called a mansion. I was surprised by the thickness of the intricate beams on the second floor. I now understand why it was able to withstand the weight of snow for so many years. There is a fee for the tour. (Original) 上林温泉に泊まったときに行きました。安政年間に建てられたという庄屋の家は、二階建てで、館と呼ぶのにふさわしい豪壮な建物です。二階の複雑に組まれた梁の太さにびっくり。長年雪の重さに耐えられた理由がわかりました。見学は有料。

(Translated by Google) work (Original) 仕事

Not a geyser at all, no stream shooting up into the sky. Not worth the extra drive to get here.

Wow

(Translated by Google) 202505 I saw the smoking area from the road, so I stopped in. There was hot spring machinery and piping, and steam was rising, but it was not worth looking at. (Original) 202505道路から分煙が見えたので立ち寄りました。温泉の機械と配管設備があり湯気が立ち上っていますが、見ても意味がないレベルです。

(Translated by Google) There was a striking sign, but perhaps because the temperature was high, there was a bit of steam. It was different from the large fountain I had imagined. There was enough space for a few cars. (Original) 立派な標識が目立ちますが、気温が高かった為か湯気は少々。 イメージしている大噴泉とは違った。 車は数台おけます。

(Translated by Google) It was different from what I expected, there was very little steam and it couldn't really be called a large fountain. It looked like steam was coming out of a factory pipe. (Original) 思ってたのと違った、湯けむりも少なく大噴泉とは言えない。　工場のパイプから湯気が出ているみたい。

(Translated by Google) This is the source of the hot springs in this area. There is also a shrine there. Perhaps it is to the god of hot springs? However, it is probably not worth stopping by. There is nothing to see. (Original) このエリアの源泉となる場所。 祠もあります。温泉の神様かな？ ただ、わざわざ立ち寄るほどでもないかな。見るところがありません。

(Translated by Google) Apparently when the temperature is low, there's a lot of steam. The hot water is flowing, but be careful not to touch it as it's hot. (Original) 気温が低いと湯気がすごいらしいです。 お湯が流れてますが触ると熱いので注意してください。

(Translated by Google) This time we will introduce "Suwako Lake Hill Country Club". I came at the beginning of Obon. The forecast was for rain in the afternoon and cloudy skies in the morning, but nothing like that happened and it was just a hot day. It was a day where I was more concerned about the heat of the sunshine than the humidity. Play time was also a little late. I thought the limited edition meals had disappeared. Oh my God! ! ! ! There was some left! “Large shrimp tempura bowl”! I have no choice but to order this. I'm looking forward to it. The restaurant at Suwa Lake Hill had a large table and was very nice with plenty of space for 4 people. Tendon has appeared. The three giant shrimp that seem to pierce the sky are like the Sky Tree. When you eat one, the crispy shrimp appears inside the crispy batter. The sweet sauce was also a nice touch, and it covered the rice so much that I could eat the rice just with the sauce alone. Having three bottles is very luxurious. It's great to think that even if you finish one bottle, there will be another one lol It's filling, but even after eating all three, I didn't feel hungry at all. Next time if there is a special meal, I would like to try it. (Original) 今回ご紹介するのは『諏訪湖レイクヒルカントリークラブ』さんです。 お盆の初めに来ました。 午後から雨予報、午前中は曇天の予想でしたが、全くそんなことはなくただひたすら熱い日でした。 蒸し暑さよりも日照りの暑さが気になる日でした。 プレー時間も少しおそかったので 限定食は無くなってしまったかなと思ったおら なんと！！！！ 残っていたんです！ 『大海老天丼』が！ もうこれを注文するほかないですね。 楽しみに待っていることに。 諏訪レイクヒルのレストランはテーブルが広く4人席でも一人のスペースが広くとても良かったです。 天丼が登場しました。 天を貫きそうな3本の大海老はスカイツリーの様です。 一本食べるとサクサクとした触感の衣の中から、プリッとした海老が登場します。 甘めのタレがまたいい感じで、ご飯にもかかっていてタレだけでもご飯が食べててしまうくらいです。 3本もあるととても贅沢です。 1本食べきってもまた次があると思うと最高ですねｗ 食べ応えはしっかりありますが、3本食べきっても全く胃もたれしませんでした。 次回も何かの限定食があったらそれにしたいですね。

(Translated by Google) This was my first time playing here. There were some holes where the tee grounds were bald and it was difficult to take a straight stance, and some holes where the rough and green edge grass was quite overgrown, but overall it was well maintained and I enjoyed playing. I couldn't see Lake Suwa. The carts were manual and old, but they had navigation, so it was easy to understand even for first-timers. However, there is no air conditioning in the clubhouse (except for the bathroom). The restaurant only has large electric fans for meals. The staff were sweating while serving. Since this year, measures against heat stroke have been made mandatory, so even if it's a highland course, shouldn't there be air conditioning? We went to our car every time to cool off. At the very least, they should clearly state on their website that "There is no air conditioning in the clubhouse of this course." This is something to consider if you're playing in the summer. As an aside, I was asked twice to specify the time for delivery, but in the end a different time was specified, so I corrected it online. . . (Original) 初めて利用しました。 何カ所かティーグラウンドがハゲハゲでまっすぐスタンスが取れなかったり、ラフやグリーンエッジの芝がかなり伸びていたホールも有りましたが、全体的に綺麗に整備されており楽しくプレーできました。諏訪湖は見えませんでした。 カートは手動で古めでしたがナビは付いており、初見でも分かりやすかったです。 ただ、クラブハウス(浴室を除く)にエアコンがありません。食事も大型扇風機のみ設置されたレストランとなります。従業員の方は汗だくで給仕していました。今年から熱中症対策が義務化されており、いくら高原のコースと言えども空調は整えるべきではないでしょうか？ 私たちは都度、車に涼みに行きました。 少なくともHP上に 「当コースのクラブハウスにはエアコンがありません」 と大きく分かるように記載するべきです。 夏場にプレーされる方は要検討です。 蛇足ですが、宅急便の時間指定を2回聞き返されましたが結局違う時間が指定されていてnetで修正しました。。。

(Translated by Google) My first time playing golf in Suwa. Starting at 8am in August would be pretty crazy in the Kanto region, but it was so cool here! And best of all, the low humidity meant I didn't feel too tired. It didn't seem to affect my score, though. lol. I was lucky to have company, and I had a great time. (Original) 初の諏訪でゴルフ 8月のこの時期に8時台スタートは関東であればかなり無謀ですが、こちらはとても涼しかった！ 何より湿度が低いので疲れを感じにくい しかしスコアには影響なかったようでした笑 同伴にも恵まれ楽しく過ごせました

(Translated by Google) This is a golf course that combines 9 holes x 3 for 27 hours. Overall distance is normal, but width is narrow. Out/distance average, narrow width In/Shorter distance, narrower width East/average distance, wide It's just my personal feeling. The food had an extensive menu and was plentiful. (Original) 9ホール×3の27Hを組み合わせるゴルフ場です。 全体的には距離は普通ですが、幅は狭めです。 アウト・距離平均、幅狭め イン・距離短め、幅狭め 東・距離平均、幅広め あくまで個人的な感覚です。食事はメニュー豊富で、量もありました。

(Translated by Google) This was my first time playing here. Overall, I think it's a good golf course. I played the outbound course from the east. The course is narrow. Especially on the outbound course, the left slopes uphill and there's out-of-bounds. The right slopes downhill and there's no out-of-bounds, so if you hit into the right slope, you can't get back on the course! It was hellish. I'm not sure if the rough was recently mowed, but it was shallow, which was a relief. There were some noticeable areas of peeling grass on the green, but it didn't bother me at my level. The meal was more filling than it appears in the photo. I think it would be good for younger people. Unfortunately, the Kuroneko bag I received was damaged and in tatters. It had clearly been swapped with someone else's. It was only my second time, so I wish they'd been a little more careful. It wasn't expensive, but I've only used it twice, so thank you. (Original) 初めて利用させていただきました。 全体的には良いゴルフ場だと思います。東からOUTをまわりました。コースは、狭めです。特にOUTは、左は上り斜面でOBあり。右は下りでOBがないので右斜面に打ち込むとコースに戻れない！地獄でした。 ラフは刈ったばかりか分かりませんが浅めで助かりました。グリーンは、芝の剥がれが目立ったところがありましたが私レベルでは気になりません。 食事は写真よりボリュームがあります。若い方には良いと思います。 残念ながら戻ってきたバッグのクロネコの袋が破損してボロボロでした。明らかに他者のものと入れ替わっていました。まだ２回目だったのでちょっと注意していただきたいです。 高いものでは無いが２回しか使用してないのでよろしくです。

(Translated by Google) I thought it was the best course for summer. The distance was perfect for a couple to enjoy and it was great to be able to play at such a low price, but I was disappointed when I checked the expiration date on the way home and found that the souvenirs I bought had expired. I contacted them immediately and they arranged for the goods to be sent to me. Please be careful of store clerks. (Original) 夏場には最高のコースと思いました。夫婦で楽しむには距離的にも最高だし格安プレーが出来て良かったですが、帰りに土産として購入した品物を自宅に帰りに賞味期限を見たら期限切れになっていたことには残念でした。直ちに連絡して品物送ってくれる対応をしてもらいました。 店員に十分注意するように。

(Translated by Google) I made a reservation and went there during the Obon holiday, but the forecast rained and fog hit, and the course was so steep that I had to cancel. I was amazed that they had been playing since early in the morning. Apparently the altitude is quite high. (Original) 盆休みに予約して現地まで行ったのですが、予報通りの雨と霧、さらにコースの急さにキャンセルさせてもらいました。早朝からプレーされてるのに、すごいなあ、と。標高がかなりあるそうです。

(Translated by Google) Yayokeishi is just a ``meh'', but I recommend a small shrine called Keiaisha. There are many small guardian stones with Sanskrit characters (probably) written on them, and you can receive them as a souvenir of your visit. I think it would be great for yourself or as a souvenir. (Original) 矢除石は「ふーん」程度なのですが、敬愛社という小さな祠がおすすめです。ここには梵字（たぶん）が書かれた小さな守護石がたくさん置いてあり、参拝記念に貰っていくことできます。自分用にも、お土産にも、たいへんよいと思います。

(Translated by Google) The rock in front of Fudo Myoo. It is said that it has the benefit of warding off evil diseases, as the arrow did not hit even when aimed at it. (Original) 不動明王の前にある岩。狙っても矢が当たらなかったことから、厄病除けのご利益があるそうです。

(Translated by Google) It seems to be a historical thing. (Original) 歴史的な物らしいです。
