In July and August, you can enjoy a season of leisurely walks amidst Japan’s precious alpine plants and deep forests, and from late September to the end of October, you can witness vibrant autumn foliage throughout.
Take a walk among nature or push yourself to discover new sights on various trekking courses of different levels. Take in nature as it refreshes your body and mind, and see amazing alpine plants, trees, and flowers.
Shiga Kogen is a beautiful place that is marvellous be it the winter season or the Green Season!
*You can comfortably hike the mountain trails until the end of October. From November, the snow accumulates, making it unsafe for hiking, so it’s not suitable for mountaineering.
