#Osaka Travel #BiwakoValley #BiwakoValley #Osaka Ski Resort #Osaka Snow Play #Kansai Snow Play #Kansai Ski Resort Today we will take you to play in the snow in the Kansai region. Some people may think, hey!! Will there be snow in this region? Follow us to travel. Let's go!!! We traveled by car to Shiga Prefecture. It is very convenient to travel. There is no snow in other provinces. There will be snow on the roads near the mountain near the ski resort. But it is a thin snow, not very thick. For those who are not experienced, I recommend taking the bus. When we arrived at our destination, we parked the car at the parking lot on the hill and walked to wait for the ski resort's bus to take us up to the top. The shuttle service is free. The bus comes every 10 minutes. Biwako Valley Ski Resort is only open in winter (between December and March). Take the bus to the top and you will find the ticket booth for the cable car and the rental service for skiing equipment. The round-trip ticket for the cable car For adults 2,500 yen, children 1,000 yen After buying the ticket, we took the cable car to the top of the mountain, which is a ski resort. The view along the way is very beautiful, with pure white mountains. If it were not winter, this place would be a lake, a famous viewpoint, where tourists like to camp. After getting off the cable car, we found a snow slope for children to play on the sled. Here, there is a sled for free, no charge. If anyone wants to ski, you have to take the cable car up to the top. If anyone doesn't know how to play, they also offer a teaching service. We had so much fun playing in the snow that we felt like our bodies needed warmth, so we stopped by a cafe inside to sip some warm coffee. There was a heater inside to warm ourselves by the fire. On the way back, we got off the cable car and went down without having to buy a new ticket. We waited for the bus to go back down to the parking lot and drove back home. This trip was very happy for both children and adults. For friends who come to visit the Kansai area and want to see snow like this, try to stop by and visit. The journey is not as difficult as you think. You can take the train and then the bus. That's all for this trip. See you next time.

Enjoy the 360-degree view at Lake Biwa Observation Deck (Biwako Terrace/Valley) The observation deck is located on the top of the mountain at an altitude of 1,100 meters, and the spectacular panoramic view of Lake Biwa unfolds before your eyes! There is also a cafe on the observation deck. We brought our own snacks and sat on the sofa overlooking the refreshing lake view. For a bit more excitement, you can go paragliding and aerial ropes! The instructor explained carefully, and the weather is very good today! Lake Biwa Observation Deck (びわ湖テラス) Address: 1547-1 Kido, Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture 🚇Transportation🚇 From JR "Shiga Station", transfer to the Ewako Kotsu Bus (No. 68) (390 yen) for about 10 minutes and get off at the "Biwako Valley" stop. Take the cable car to the top in ten minutes (3,500 yen). #Halloween2023 #Weekend Travel #Biwako #Kyoto #JapanTravel
