Today is perfect for snow lovers!
Started with lots of snow... about 25 cm of snow registered since last night.
And now it's a beautiful sunny afternoon with fresh snow on all the ski courses, just waiting for you to enjoy it!

Yokoteyama Skylift 3



















That's the view from the Yokoteyama Skylift 3, about 9:30 in the morning, last Thursday.



















And finally, the top of Yokoteyama. This is the lift house. You can see the lifts entering on the right. Also, this is a 2.3005 m above sea level ramen ya (Japanese noodles restaurant). Perfect to warm up after skiing for a while. There's a balcony from where you can have a panoramic view. It's said that in most clear days you can even see Mt. Fuji.

Between the 2nd and the 3rd Yokoteyama Skylift







Mt. Kasadake , symbol of Shiga Kogen and Japanese Northern Alps in the background.








More about Yokoteyama


View from the top of Yokoteyama

That's the view from the top of Mt. Yokote (Yokoteyama).

Here you can have a Japanese meal as lamen, oden and udon, in the 2nd floor of the lift building, or you can enjoy fresh bread, coffee, hot chocolate or some hot Russian meal as Stroganoff at the highest bakery of Japan. This bakery is also an amazing place to spend the night and be able to watch the sunset and sunrise from the top of Yokoteyama, 2.300 m above sea level.
