"The second-highest resort in Japan and one of the largest, Shiga Kogen has much to explore, encompassing 18 resorts, 48 lifts, and an elevation ranging from 4,396 to 7,568 feet. Most of the resorts are connected, and all of the lifts can be accessed using a single ticket. The 1998 Nagano Olympics were held here in part, and the resort is popular domestically." - Travel + Leisure Editors
