If you want to ski down the mountainside, you'll need to make it to the top first. Jump on Shizugatake Lifts and enjoy the ride up.
Shizugatake Lifts is a great place to start out your day in Nagahama. This mountainside transportation system comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only spot to see here. Allow time for other sights like Lake Yogo, Biwako Waterfowl Wetland Center, and Odani Castle Ruins to get a complete picture of what's on offer in the area.
