Shiga Kogen at Sunset

Yesterday the sky was so beautiful that we decided to watch the sunset. Maeyama seems to be a good choice, because the Maeyama C course it's not so difficult to snowshoe hike. The course it's just about 750 m. and we reached the top of the mountain in 15 min. You just need to ask at the front desk where you can hire some snowshoes and go with comfortable shoes and warm clothes.

We start to walk about 5:15 P. M.


And we were on the summit of Maeyama at 5:30 P. M.



Just in time to watch this beautiful sunset.


Sunset watched from 1810 m above sea level.


From the summit, you can see Kasadake, Kumanoyu Ski Area and all the Hotaru Onsen Hotels

At this time of the day, all the lifts had already stopped and it's very peaceful.



If you have the chance, I highly recommend, it's worth!

Beautiful Weekend!

This is Maeyama Ski course this morning... another beautiful sunny Saturday!



And today I was on the bus, at Kumanoyu Area (Kuma=bear / yu=hot spring water) which means something like the bear of the hot spring water when I met him!

After yesterday's bad weather, the trees were white again this morning!
Good sign! It's good to feel a cold breeze again!

Cloudy Friday...

It's hot again in Shiga Kogen... and we all hope the Japan Meteorological Agency are wrong and instead of the predicted rain we have a nice snow this weekend.

























It seems like someone had fun at Maeyama yesterday ;)
