Very convenient and good value accommodation. We note many international guests have been staying for a number of years.

Excellent location relative to ski lifts with easy access. Owners friendly. Ensuite toilet Plenty of food Good ski storage area. Close to bus stop.

Over 8 days evening food very similar Needed to open room windows as overheated and couldn’t turn off.

Perfect for a weeks snowboarding

Location was great and staff was really helpful. I got the meal package and it was great. Delicious breakfasts and dinners and really affordable if you prebook with your room booking. The communal meals are also a great spot to meet other travelers if you’re travelling alone.

The pillows are the japanese style with beans inside and I found them uncomfortable

施設は新しくはありませんが、納得です。お値段がもう少しリーズナブルだとリピートしたいですが、この料金なら他を探すと思います。

スキー置場から外へのアクセスは良かったです。また、ダイヤモンドゲレンデが道路の反対側なので雪が有ればチケット売場とリフト乗場へはアクセスしやすかったです。

温泉かと思っていましたが、温泉でなかったのが残念でした。

An economical ski-in-ski-out ryokan with a touch of old-fashioned elegance.

I liked the whole package. The buffet meals on the half-board plan were plentiful and delicious. The proximity to the ski slopes was exemplary and the prices were fair. The room was better than I expected, with a nice tatami area. All in all, a good ryokan experience with like-minded skiers and families.

Only two things were less than exemplary. The room was so hot, even with the heating control turned off that I had to open the window to cool off the room and I left it open all night. It is quite a waste of energy, and I was afraid I would wind up sleeping with an intruding snow monkey. Also the onsen water was so hot that it was not relaxing. But I was the only gaijin in there so I may have a minority opinion. Conversely, the sauna was not hot enough.

Good base for skiing in Shiga Kogen

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

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.

While the hotel is not the newest it is good enough for skiing.

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.

Get on your board.

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.

Amazing! Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Shiga Kogen.

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.
