For skiers interested in the Yakebitaiyama side of Shiga Kogen, with gondola-served runs high on the mountain.
This painted map covers Yakebitaiyama, one part of the much larger Shiga Kogen area; it is not a complete map of every Shiga Kogen ski area.
Find the Yakebitai summit and its gondolas, then trace a run down to the base you entered from. Use the wider area map if you plan to ski beyond Yakebitaiyama.
