Great location, slopes are within easy walking distance, good breakfast. Nice rooms, nice public bath, and convenient storage area for skis and ski boots.

The room was warm enough, but the heating was a bit hard to control and switches off at 10pm.

Excellent location to nearby restaurants and free shuttle bus to various ski areas. The reception lady was so friendly and welcoming!

Very cold in the winter, no way to control the heater in the room which wasn't warm enough. It was quite dirty behind the toilet lid.

Breakfast is simple Japanese keep that in mind, actually very good when youre used to japanese foods. Walk over the road and you have the ski slope. Dont be discouraged by "shared bath" rooms, the Japanese bathhouse is actually very nice and every room has their own toilet. Ski/boot rental was 4000Yen for 3 days. There are restuarants but they are inside other hotels in the areas, be brave and enter its ok.

There was a radiator that could start banging in the middle of the night, no idea whats up with that.

Friendly and helpful staff. Good location, next to ski area.

The location in relation to the lifts was great. Of a morning down hill to Ichinose Diamond slight uphill to Ichinose Family. Breakfast was buffet and provided a range of fare that varied enough to keep one happy over a weeks stay. Dinner the same deal with optional addition of on table cook pot for Nabe or Shabu. My room 2 beds, tatami area with table and a mountain view. Staff obliging. Large ski/board locker room. This is not a place of gold taps, it provides good on snow accommodation, warm food and a comfortable bed so you can get on with why you are there skiing/boarding. Located short distance from bus stops so you do not have to drag your bags too far.

The room heating was not, as far as I could tell adjustable and was a bit too warm for me at times. The corridors were not heated which meant some people used the corridors as their fridge. Since I was not lingering in corridors not a big deal. Like other places in Shiga the place needs a bit of a facelift, paint and paper to lift it. It has a bar area but its not used as a bar, pity since it has a great outlook and might make a $ if the right person was to run it. School groups use the hotel as a base and since the buffet is used by all some traffic separation would be good, say schools 7am breakfast, guests 7.30 am that might ease the crowding.

the personal was very friendly and even before my stay the replied all my questions very fast.

the pillow was very, very hard (i‘ve never had such a hard pillow before). all the rest was great.

Fantastic staff members, they were very helpful and made our stay exceptional. The dining experience was awesome, we enjoyed all the meals - breakfast and dinner. The location was great, right at the foot of the mountains. Such a cool property, very unique and genuine.

The pillows were not very comfortable.
