Yokoteyama Hotels

The isolation at this end of Shiga Kogen can be an advantage and disadvantage. You’ll need to catch a bus to get to the main ski areas of Shiga Kogen but if you just want to ski at Yokoteyama, Shibutoge and Kumanoyu, you’ll find these high elevation ski areas rather deserted. English isn’t widely spoken at many of the hotels, but you’ll know that you’ll have found the real Japan.
