I use it every year to help out at G/S Days.Even though it's SKI's off-season, I'm grateful that they always kindly accept me.At 1,700m above sea level, Shiga Kogen is the greatest luxury of all: enjoying the silence and darkness of your surroundings.

This is a highland hotel at a ski resort. Although it is old, it is well kept. The lady at the front desk is also young but does her best. I was able to harvest only wild vegetables and nightshades. If you don't pay an entrance ticket to take it, you'll be fined if the patrol team finds you.

This is a traditional training camp in Shiga Kogen. We have incorporated recent customer requests and are steadily improving the details. Double-glazed windows in the rooms, lobby interiors, washlets in the toilets, etc. Advance check-out the day before was convenient. The food was buffet style and of a higher quality than expected. I stayed here with low expectations, but it was better than I expected.

To enjoy Shiga Kogen Ski Resort, I looked for a place near the mountain station and chose it. I think the location is good.This is a hotel with a sense of history. That's what the room looks like. There was a bath in the room, but there was no shampoo, so I used the public bath. Although it is closed in winter, there is an open-air bath where monkeys may come. There was a notice to keep the windows locked.Everyone eats their meals at the same time. Breakfast is a buffet.If you're going to Shiga Kogen, you can probably get around from Okushiga Kogen by connecting the lift.I felt like I shouldn't think too much about traveling by bus.The day before, the 16th, I couldn't ski due to the cold wave, strong winds, and whiteout, but the next day I was lucky to have pecans!We recommend you to use it as it is located in a perfect location in the middle of Shiga Kogen.

Next to the bus stop in Ichinose, it is very convenient for skiing or coming from Nagano Station. Breakfast is a buffet and dinner is a set meal. However, the portions are large, so you will definitely have no problem eating full. You can communicate in English at the hotel, and you can also buy cheap food. cable car tickets, and a large hot water bath. Although the hotel is not new, it feels quite good.
