-Higashidateyama Ski Slopes, Hoppo-Bunadaira Ski Slope- Hotel Higashidate

Leave the hotel via the drying room or the exit on the third floor and you are practically on the ski slopes. We are located very close to the several ski slopes, such as the Hoppo-Bunadaira Ski Slopes, which are suitable beginners and families with small children, and Higashidateyama Ski Slopes, which were used during the giant slalom event in the 1998 Olympic Games, as well as the Higashidateyama gondolas.

It is also possible to ski into and out of the ski equipment drying room, as the Hoppo Quad Lift drops you off right on the doorstep.

If you wish to stretch your legs as far as the Yakebitaiyama Ski Slopes or Yokoteyama areas, you can use the shuttle bus that covers the all of the mountains in Shiga from the Hoppo Hot Spring bus station, located only a three-minute walk from the hotel.

This course was used for the men's and women's giant slalom in the 1998 Olympic Games, and it boasts an extremely challenging downhill course. This is ideally suited to advanced skiers, but there is also a gentle woodland course for beginners. The restaurant provides excellent panoramic views at the summit of Mt. Higashidate, where you can stop for coffee before setting out on your ski run. This is also the starting point for skiing to other ski slopes, such as the Terakoya Ski Slopes.

This is a large, gentle slope known as the Girls' lope, which is suitable for beginners and families. You are recommended to use this slope for practice before going onto Shiga Kogen. The lower part of the slope is connected to the giant ski slopes. The Hoppo Quad Lift ends at the gondola lift station at the foot of Higashidateyama. There is a very good chance you will spot antelopes from the lift.
