Trade winter crowds for wide-open slopes, bluebird skies, and long, relaxed ski days.
Home to one of Japan’s highest-elevation ski resorts, Okushiga Kogen is known for its long ski season and exceptional spring skiing. Thanks to its high elevation, snow often lingers well into April—and sometimes into early May.
Of course, the mountains always have the final say. As winters grow warmer, snow conditions can vary from year to year. That’s simply part of skiing in nature—and part of its charm. If you happen to catch a perfect spring ski day, consider yourself a little lucky.
That’s the beauty of spring skiing in Okushiga Kogen: uncrowded slopes, sunny days, and a slower pace that lets you savor the mountains long after winter’s peak.
