Activities at Shiga Kogen
Twilight Tour
Ride on a snowmobile to enjoy the sunset, night view, and stargazing.
Among the stunning views of Shiga Kogen, Yokoze Yama is renowned for its breathtaking vistas. Known as “Nozoki,” this observation point is located halfway up Yokote-yama. While it’s closed during the winter season, there’s a limited-time “Twilight Tour” conducted via snowmobile, offering views of the night scenery and starry sky.
Morning Run/First Tracks
Departing from “Restaurant Akari” at 1700m, we will travel from the slopes of Yokoze Yama through the snowy national road to the summit of Shibutoge Ski Resort at 2307m. Enjoy the sunrise from the summit (06:46) and experience the First Tracks (exclusive use of the Shibutoge slope for participants).
Snow Monster Tour
After the ski resort closes, participants will ride a snow groomer to the observation deck at the summit of Mount Yokoze, where they can observe the snow monsters (ice-covered trees). From the 2307-meter-high observation deck, you can also enjoy the sunset and the night views of Kusatsu Town in Gunma Prefecture and Takasaki City.
