Next, it&#39;s time for lunch - a delicious Japanese feast to prepare you for the snow stage of the tour. You&#39;ll make your way to the sky resort of Shiga Kogen which is the biggest ski&nbsp;area in Japan! The setting for the 1998 Winter Olympics, this mountainous area is full of incredible slopes and stunning scenery. You&#39;ll be able to explore the &#39;snow activity slope&#39; and have a go at playing with&nbsp;snow sledges, snow-scooters, snow-bikes, and more. Even if you have no experience skiing or snowboarding you&#39;ll find plenty to do! 
 
Afterwards, it&#39;s time to take&nbsp;a ski lift ride up one of the highest mountains of Shiga Kogen where you can enjoy&nbsp;the breathtaking views of the entire northern Nagano area. Snap some photos, then head back down the mountain&nbsp;in time to return to Nagano.

This tour is a&nbsp;full day trip, starting at&nbsp;8:45 am&nbsp;and finishing back&nbsp;at Nagano Station at 6:30pm&nbsp;
