Guest Posted January 3, 2002 Share Posted January 3, 2002 I've been reading this website for a few weeks now and it seems that Hakuba is more the party place and lively. Shiga seems to be quieter - and some people have something against the hotels there???, what's that all about?! - but huge and wide. I'm gonna try them both out in my first season here!

jez 0 Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 I pretty much agree with what is being said here. My personal favorite is 47/Goryu, but as a whole I really love Shiga Kogen and all it stands for ....great place to spend a few days. Both really cool areas though. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Just arrived in Japan for a few weeks of skiing. I will be trying out both these areas, so looking forward to reporting back with FULL ANALYSIS!!! Link to post Share on other sites
ron-mc'd 0 Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Think of Hakuba as the "party place" with more people, nightlife and generally upbeat mood, and think of Shiga as the more gently quiet place Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 I have always preferred the resorts open feeling at Shiga Kogen to the places in Hakuba, although they are good too. Link to post Share on other sites
phat 0 Posted October 11, 2002 Share Posted October 11, 2002 Quote: There are several roads into Shiga, but as far as I know, only one into Hakuba. The old road into Shiga (through Yamasomethingorother) is indeed prone to heavy traffic, but it isn't anything like steep! The expressway that was put in through Okushiga for the Olympics handles a huge amount of traffic Hey Mr Bob. Still around? Was reading this earlier on. What expressway are you talking about? Expressway up to Okushiga?? Link to post Share on other sites
lin 0 Posted October 12, 2002 Share Posted October 12, 2002 I loved Hakuba, we had a great time there. I want to ski now! Link to post Share on other sites
AsterG 0 Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I think Mr Bob means the nice wide road that goes up from Yamanouchi up to the Shiga Kogen region- there is no expressway up there. Link to post Share on other sites
