As a junior player with the Japanese national under-18 team, she participated in the IIHF U18 Women's World Championship Top Division tournaments in 2015 and 2017, and the Division I tournament in 2016. In 2017, she served as national team captain and was selected by the coaches as a top-three player on the team.
Shiga made her national senior team debut at the 2016 IIHF Women's World Championship, where she was the youngest player representing Japan and the second-youngest player competing in the tournament (the youngest was Noemi Neubauerová of Czechia).[1] The following year, she competed in the 2017 IIHF Women's World Championship Division I Group A tournament, once again as the youngest player on the team. She was a member of the Japanese delegation at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Peyongchang and played in the women's ice hockey tournament, in which Japan claimed sixth place.[2]
Shiga has participated in the Top Division tournament of every IIHF Women's World Championship since playing in the 2019 tournament.[3][4] She recorded her first point with the senior national team at the 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship, earning the secondary assist on a goal scored by her sister, Akane Shiga, against Hungary in the preliminary round. Her first senior national team goal was scored against Finland in the preliminary round of the 2022 IIHF Women's World Championship, assisted by Haruka Toko and Akane Shiga. The coaches named her as a top-three player for Japan in both 2021 and 2022.[5]
She represented Japan in the women's ice hockey tournament at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, recording three assists in five games.[6]
