Biwako Hakodateyama Ski Resort -Ski Above Japan's Largest Lake

Few ski runs come with a view like this. At Biwako Hakodateyama, one of Kansai’s leading ski resorts, every descent overlooks Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest lake, from 690 meters above. An 8-person gondola takes you from the base straight to the slopes in 8 minutes, with lake views the whole way up. Gentle beginner slopes and structured lessons welcome complete first-timers, backed by the quality snow Shiga locals have trusted for generations.

Families love it too: the Kids Park’s moving walkway means sledding and snow play all day, no uphill walking. Renewed in 2020 and open December through mid-March, Hakodateyama is the easiest ski day trip from Osaka.

This activity is perfect for travelers (who just want to play in the snow), beginners (who don't know how to ski but want to learn), and skiers (who already know how to ski). We offer 1-day tours tailored to your needs!

Lovely experience thanks to Poey and Tracy🤍 Poey, our tour guide, was clear & engaging, especially during the bus ride commentary. I liked how she switched between Eng, Mandarin, & Canto to make sure everyone felt included. She was also responsible & proactive. When I misplaced my card @ the ski resort, she helped liaise with Tracy, which I truly appreciated. Tracy, my ski instructor, was equally outstanding. He was patient, calm, & encouraging, which made a big difference, especially for beginners in the group. Teaching skiing is already challenging, & doing it while communicating in 3 languages as well is no small feat. Tracy handled it with professionalism and kindness, making sure everyone understood and felt safe throughout the lesson. Both Poey and Tracy went above and beyond in their roles. Their dedication, multilingual skills, and genuine care made this trip smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. Highly recommend them to anyone visiting because you’ll be in very good hands 🥰

I booked for Package A which includes a 1-hour basics tutorial since I am new to skiing. The instructor (Tracy?) spoke English and Mandarin and explained everything we need to know and provided extra tips (includes 2 popular music icons -- it's for you to find out)!
