This hotel needs a major upgrade and lots of staff to help run it. Overall extremely disappointing and it doesn’t meet the expectations set by the photos on its website.Outside onsen closed, indoor onsen was not super clean with mould everywhere in the mens change room. Pool closed, sauna closed, spa closed and the bar is permanently closed. They site maintenance as the reason which is incorrect. Sauna is a junk room as is the indoor pool. Rooms a good size for Japan 🇯🇵 however dated and dusty and dark. Lighting is dim. Don’t look under the bed as you won’t like what you see.Breakfast buffet is very limited and only served between 7.30am and 8.15am. Dinner is an alternative Japanese night followed by western night. Dinner quality is amazing however you don’t get a choice of what to eat and it’s a set time. 6pm to approximately 7.30pm. If you don’t like seafood 🍣 you’re in trouble. Ski in ski out though so great location. Oh and the bathroom shares a tap with the shower so you can’t use the basin if the shower is operating ( never experienced this ever in a hotel ). Hotel would have been amazing 30 years ago. In need of a cash injection and upgrade. Gift shop also closed and the ski hire down stairs was open occasionally.

We had a lovely time in Hotel Alpenburg for a long weekend skiing in Shiga Kogen. The staff were kind, helpful and the dinners were fantastic. The private onsen was a great facility after a days skiing. …

This is an authentic Japanese-run but Austrian style hotel. Rooms are spacious western-style, kept impeccably clean and tidy.  …

Stayed here for 7 nights / 6 days skiing. Pretty outdated decor etc, but everything was functional. I gave the place 5 stars due to 1. ski-on/off access 2. Amazing dinners and great breakfasts 3. onsen (indoor and outdoor) after skiing. …

The location is great! Located in the center of Shiga Kogen, it has good access to Mt. Yokote, Kuma no Yu, Mt. Yakebita, and Okushiga. Giant ski slope is right in front. As expected, the current Emperor was using it, and the food and hot springs were excellent. I would love to come here again.
