Shiga Kogen ran a long 2025-2026 season. The common lift ticket was valid until 6 May 2026, and the spring-skiing period ran from 1 April to 6 May 2026.
Because Shiga Kogen is high in the mountains, it keeps good snow far into spring. For a late-season trip with a very large area on one ticket, it is one of the best choices in Japan.
