Review for: D: Sightseeing (Ropeway + Lift for Sightseeing)

The tour was a great experience! It only took 1.5 hr from Osaka. The view from the top of the mountain was spectacular, the main terrace and cafe 360 are great places to take photos and relax. Our kids had fun playing in the snow and sled. Riding the chairlift was exciting too. Our tour guide Lully was friendly and helpful.

Review for: E: Sled (Ropeway + Lift for Sightseeing + Sled Rental)

Although the bus ride was a bit long, it was so lucky to see the snow and experience snowfall. Having coffee at the cafe, enjoying the snow scene outside Lake Biwa with the heater on, was very relaxing. Playing with snowboards or just playing in the snow outdoors was also great fun. The price and the tour guide were both reasonable, and the tour guide was also nice. Anyone who wants to go skiing, play in the snow, or see snow scenery can give it a try.

Review for: E: Sled (Ropeway + Lift for Sightseeing + Sled Rental)

Our tour to Biwako Ski Valley was absolutely amazing! Thanks to JTourstory!! The whole process was smooth, easy, and very well-organized, making the experience stress-free from start to finish. It was truly worth every penny. A huge shoutout to our tour guide Sangmin (Min) — he was excellent at his job, very accommodating, and genuinely kind. He made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the trip. What really stood out was how thoughtful he was — he even gave us a list of his personal recommendations to try in Osaka, which we really appreciated. On top of that, he surprised us with an appreciation gift, which was such a sweet and memorable gesture. Overall, this tour exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended, especially if you want a hassle-free and memorable experience with an outstanding guide. Thank you so much, Min!

It was a great skiing experience. The snow scenery at Bi Pa Mountain is beautiful. The trip included ski equipment and round-trip transportation, which was very convenient. The beginner slopes are suitable for novices.

Review for: A: Shuttle Only

One of the highlight of my japan trip. I book the shuttle bus only, I bought my ticket at biwako. You can buy the ropeway+lift+biwakoterrace 5kyen. Our guide is Curtis, meet up is easy to find. Bring water or snacks if you want, there are also cafe and restaurants in the mountain. If you want to go to biwako terrace 360 view, it is in the peak you need to ride two lifts ist is just a relax ride then the second is faster. The view is amazing.
