Shiga Kogen Yokoteyama Ski Area

Nagano Prefecture, Japan · 13.5 km of runs, 7 lifts, top 2303 m

Yokoteyama crowns Shiga Kogen with the highest lift-served skiing in Japan, which brings dry snow and a long season. Chairlifts serve wide, mostly gentle runs with sweeping views over the Northern Alps, and the hut near the summit bakes bread and claims to be Japan’s highest bakery.
