Program details

Only 2 hours from Osaka by bus, Biwako Valley is located in the number one place for snow fall in Kansai that are rich in variety and snow quality.

Biwako Valley is the most well-known snow-sports resort in Shiga and for good reason. It boasts eight courses varying in length from a short 400m nursery slope to the fun ‘cruising’ 1400m Champions Course.
