“Onsen was perfect, 30 secs from a lift, staff spoke enough English to get by, food was excellent, trips to town 2 times a week for snacks and n stuff”
“Simply the best hotel in Shiga Kogen. I have been skiing there for several years, and trust me; it's the best value overal ( I have tried several other hotels, but this is the best !). If you are lucky you can even see the monkey, which are living in the area.”
“Excellent service, food and the onsens were very good.”
“Very friendly and helpful staff. Good food.Awesome Onsen!”
“First valley in Shiga Kogen ski area so less time getting in and out; could ski door to door; connects to other areas by both free bus shuttle or ski to next valley; excellent free in house onsen; excellent free wi-fi; good food for breakfast and dinner from 1100 yen with cheap transfer to Yudanaka for a change for evening meal; closest area to snow monkeys; cheerful and very helpful staff despite limited English”
“This is a great hotel. Shiga Kogen area in general seems "undiscovered" since the Nagano Olympics. The location for skiing the Northern interconnected area of Shiga is excellent. As it is the first resort to be reached by bus from Nagano to the Shiga area, travel time is a respectable of about an hour. The hotel is fantastic for a half board with authentic Japanese cuisine every night. I should say banquet. The only downside is that for our palettes, we would have appreciated choice of a lighter menus sometimes and other cuisine - after a week, our family of five were a little tired of the food. The onsen was fantastic and there was also a sauna. Staff was very friendly and thankfully a few of them do speak English. Skis could be hired at the hotel. Definitely recommend this place for a genuine Japanese experience (ie not like Niseko) which suited us.”
“Staff were so helpful and polite. Family friend environment. Easy access to various ski courses. Highly recommend it.”
“Japanese room was perfect. The hotel is right on the snow and is ski-in, ski-out The staff could not have been nicer and more friendly Very professional”
“The staff was friendly and very accommodating. It's a very family-oriented place. We really appreciated the ski-in/out set up; very convenient!”
“The location, staff and facilities at this hotel are excellent. You get given good lockers for your ski/board equipment and the first chairlift is only 100m away and you can ski/board there from the door of the hotel. You can access the entire resort from this area meaning you never need to take the bus.”
