My experience at Biwako Valley Ski Resort was fantastic, and it's definitely one of the most highly recommended ski resorts in the Kansai region. It's conveniently located from Osaka, easily accessible by car or public transport, and the gondola ride takes you directly to the summit, offering breathtaking views of Lake Biwa. The slopes are well-planned, catering to beginners, intermediate, and advanced skiers. The beginner slopes are gentle, with staff on hand to assist, making practice safe and enjoyable. The longer runs offer exhilarating speed and are incredibly satisfying. The snow was pristine that day, remaining neither too wet nor too messy even in the afternoon. Equipment rental was quick and easy, the gear was new and clean, and the staff were friendly. The rest areas and dining options were plentiful, allowing you to warm up while enjoying the lake views – a comfortable environment overall. Whether it's your first time skiing or a relaxing day trip, Biwako Valley is a great choice for both beautiful scenery and a great experience. I'll definitely be back!
went on the first day 20mins before it opened at 10am and there was already a long snaking queue. Bring snacks and water because none are for sale inside and there is no readmission. most have no price tags, so you have to ask or just be prepared when you check out. They will give you a clear plastic bag to put all your items and then you just have to check out once at the end of the exhibition instead of queuing for payment at each stall. queue for payment is extremely long, so be prepared. Japanese take their stationery very seriously.😁
This is the way to do universal. Our guide Bebe was great. She was informative and nice. She made sure we got to do everything on our list.you get to skip the line for food, drinks and rides. The vip lounge was great for drinks and holding our items while we explored the park. The lunch and dinner buffet were plentiful and the staff inside was fantastic. The park itself was amazing. Highly recommend! We rode every single ride at least once and got our own private olivanders show. Some rides we ride 3 times. VIP every time
