Tucked away at the eastern edge of Shiga Kogen, Okushiga Kogen offers a quieter, more refined mountain experience. With its forested slopes, uncrowded runs, and laid-back pace, it’s a favourite among those seeking solitude and quality over buzz and bustle. Okushiga’s trails are especially suited to intermediate and advanced skiers, with wide-open groomers and tree-lined runs that are both scenic and serene. The area also participates in the Three-Mountain Pass, which includes access to Yakebitaiyama and Madarao Kogen—perfect for skiers wanting variety without sacrificing peace and quiet.
At the base of the resort sit two elegant accommodations that define Okushiga’s atmosphere. The Okushiga Kogen Hotel blends alpine charm with functional comfort, offering ski-in/ski-out convenience, warm hospitality, and a relaxed, family-friendly vibe.
Just next door, the Hotel Grand Phenix Okushiga adds a touch of luxury to the mountain. With its classic European-style architecture, fine dining, and wellness facilities, it’s a haven for guests who appreciate the finer things—without the flashiness.
Together, the two hotels frame the Okushiga experience: calm, refined, and surrounded by nature. For those looking to unwind, reconnect with the mountains, and enjoy premium slopes in a peaceful setting, Okushiga Kogen is a destination that truly delivers.
