Shiga Kogen is close to the lovely Shiga National Park, home to the hot springs that attract the famous Japanese Snow Monkeys. The park, as well as Jigokudani Monkey Park, makes a great day trip from Shiga Kogen. There are also plenty of hot springs in the region for people to enjoy. Those in search of cultural diversions should visit the Zenkoji Temple or Matsushiro Kaizu Castle in nearby Nagano. Shiga Kogen provides ample off-slope activities and attractions which is a bonus for visitors keen to do some sightseeing as well as ski. Of course, Tokyo, with all its urban wonders, is conveniently close by.
