Since it was European-style home cooking, I thought it would be casual, but it turned out to be a course meal. It's been a while since I used a knife and fork. It was delicious. The room also had a unit bath and was quiet and relaxing. The parking lot was gravel with a slight slope, so ⭐︎-1

Bozna (Tyrol style hot dog)The first time I tried Tyrolean food, it was a perfect match with the local beer♪The theater is crowded at lunchtime.P.S.: Unfortunately, the lunch service for the 2024 winter season has been cancelled.This is an inn with great food and wine in a wonderful environment in Okushiga.

I used it on a ski trip. 1 minute walk to Okushiga Kogen at the ski slope site.The inn was a room with bunk beds in the back and a Japanese-style room in the front, so four people could stay comfortably. The cleaning was done well and I felt comfortable.The food is so luxurious and delicious that it makes you wonder, "Aren't the accommodation prices (low) correct?" ♥️I found my favorite accommodation again 🤗 From now on, I have decided to stay at Chalet Christiania when staying in Shiga Kogen! ️I will use you again~

Simple but very cute. Would definitely come back.Design is exactly like it would be in German or Austrian alps, and not over the top stereotypical like too often in Asia. Food is excellent and changes daily. Nice wine selection of Austrian wines. Rooms are comfy.Only the hot bath was way too hot for us and the bathrooms are very plasticky.It would have been good to know that we need to ask for new towels and soap and that rooms are not automatically cleaned. But otherwise great.

When I canceled almost two days before Okushiga was unable to ski due to lack of snow, I was charged a cancellation fee. I wanted to skate here too, but I don't think this kind of business system is in place. I will never stay there again.
