Since Shiga Kogen ski resort is a large ski field combined with 18 ski resorts, we provide several different types of lift passes, such as an All-mountain pass, an area pass or a point ticket etc.
Which lift pass should you buy? Depending on your skills and your schedule, we propose some options. Please check out this page!
🐇 For Beginner Riders 🐇
If you are beginner level or this is your first-time winter sports experience, we don’t recommend you to buy an All-mountain lift pass for the first day, because whole Shiga Kogen mountain would be too large to ride over in one day. A point ticket or an area lift pass would be a better deal.

*1 point for Adult ￥160 / Child ￥80
