Chubu region, Yamanouchi, Yakebitai-yama, Shiga Kogen 🧭 Map
The hotel is clean, nice view from the room. Ski in ski out is very convenient, locker is big enough to store 3 sets of equipments. Main drawback is no more free shuttle from the hotel to Ichinose starting March 22 and limited dining places in the hotel.
Good location, but small and old room. Overall still quite good. Recommended for ski in ski out
Everything is find and meet our expectation. Ski in ski out the hotel, free locker, also have onsen. No adverse comment and experience. It’s much convenient if you drive to hotel. Not much F&B choice. Ski gears quality are quite good in hotel rental shop. Room is small if u choose the cheapest type of room. However, it is worth to stay.
Had a nice experience here. The rooms had heating and windows that could open, which was great. There was hot water for showers whenever we needed it. We stayed for 4 nights in total and the rooms were cleaned on two days. If you need more towels on the non-cleaning days you can just ask the reception. The staff there were very helpful too.
One thing that wasn’t great was that the room lights were...
service and environment is good, however too expensive, i would expect better facilities for this price
The ski-in/ski-out access at this hotel is incredibly convenient. The hotel also boasts a wide range of facilities. After a day of skiing, you can relax and soothe your tired muscles in the hot spring. Everything was great, except for the limited selection at the hotel's convenience store.

Front service particularly senior ones are not friendly. It’s far from lift place. Not a ski in and out place. Plus you can’t use lift to store your boards. You have to wear boots to walk down and up two floors. Surely not convenient. BTW food is bad.
Hotel is old, there was signs of termite infection that was cleared.
Food was ok.
Service was excellent, really everyone there was very helpful!
Good location 300m to ski chairs.
Service oriented hotel with friendly staff and ski in ski out options to the highest mountain in Nagano (also has a ski/snowboard school with kind boss)
Breakfast and Dinner options were plentiful and varied spread which is a better option for room with meals options as there isn’t much open by 5pm in the vicinity.
Self drove up and takes 30min to navigate the road whilst bus would prob take an hour...
A bit old-fashioned, but the room was spacious. The food was just okay. It's a five-minute walk to the Yokoteyama ropeway station.
Great place, super close to the ski resort
Take cash! No atms close
Shiga Palace Hotel is a great choice for its location alone—set right in the mountains, it offers easy access to the surrounding area and beautiful scenery that really adds to the experience. One of the highlights was the buffet meals. The food was plentiful, varied, and satisfying, making it easy to refuel after a long day of exploring.
The rooms were very traditional Japanese style, which felt authentic...

We had a great stay at the Okushiga Phoenix Hotel. The Italian dinner was simply perfect, the onsen was wonderful and relaxing, and the staff were consistently friendly and professional.
If you ski at Okushiga Kogen then you have to stop here. Great service. Awesome public lounge with great views
we had an amazing 5days family stay: the room was spacious for three, the food in both restaurants excellent. being straight in the slope, with a walk-through ski-room is very convenient. in- and outdoor onsen is an oasis of relaxation. provided cosmetics were amazing, i do regret not purchasing some for home after check-out.
the swiss/alpine theme has been applied thoroughly, with high quality and...
Great hotel, delicious food, professional and very helpful stuff, great facilities (onsen, pool, sauna, cold bath) and TOP location - ski in/out.
We stayed here for 5 nights and will definitely return. Highly recommended!
amazing place to stay for winter, great skiing and snowboarding rental area and great slope, the hotel restaurants are super nice, on the expensive end but worth it! recommend the Japanese restaurant! the hosts are nice and the rooms are very comfortable.
I came from the Snow Monkey Park Senjukaku and took a bus to Okushiga Plateau at the bus station for about 40 minutes. It drove all the way into the depths of the mountains. In the middle, I passed the mountain station where there was a cable car for sightseeing. As I walked further, I saw some dilapidated hotels. I was very worried, but when I reached the end, I could see the hotel. It was in good...

The hotel room was much bigger than expected. The service was excellent and the Japanese breakfast was most tasty. Being so close to the Snow Monkey Park also helped a lot - after spending the day in the cold, it was nice to return to the hotel and warm up.
Going to the monkey park, the hotel offers discounted tickets and free long boot rentals.
This is the best hotel for visiting Jigokudani Monkey Park; you can walk there easily. The facilities are a bit dated, but considering I've stayed here multiple times across two generations, it maintains a certain standard. Plus, there's a fantastic indoor heated pool. I've stayed here twice already.
The shuttle service was super convenient, and the location right at the entrance of the Wild Monkey Park is unbeatable. The service was exceptional, and both breakfast and dinner were incredibly generous. So many positives, it's perfect for a short stay.
Exceptional service from staff. Convenient to walk to snow monkey park. Appreciate the shuttle to & from train station
A very Japanese-style hotel with a well-designed room and a terrace offering lovely garden views. Dinner was just okay, but breakfast was quite generous. The private onsen wasn't as good as the public bath! Also, there was no shuttle to Yu no Kuni after 12 PM.

Very nice hotel with super convenient location. Also very to pleased with onsens and sauna!
very efficient and well organised hotel around the ski-onsen experience. Large rooms.
This is an older, but well renovated hotel near the slopes. It’s an all-in-one hotel too, with a convenience / souvenir store and a massive onsen (with sauna). We enjoyed our stay here; the meals were also pretty good. The old-fashioned steam radiator helped to keep the moisture in the room too, which we appreciated. Thank you for taking care of us!

For my husband and I, who have stopped skiing due to old age, there are more visitors in the summer for the purpose of escaping the heat than in the winter season, or trekking guests, but if things go well, we can have the bath all to ourselves.

We stayed for 2 nights at a room without bath. When we arrived we were a bit concerned because it looks old, but after settling in we found this ryokan to be excellent. It's an old building linked with multiple facades and many stairs, but this ryokan has 6 different hotspring baths. All of them are awesome and there is no need to reserve, we tried all 6 of them + the 9 public baths in Shibu Onsen...
food was good and the experience was perfect
Located in the heart of Shibu Onsen, Kokuya is a traditional Japanese inn that has been operating for over 400 years. It's the only inn in the area with its own six different 100% natural hot spring baths, featuring eight public baths and ten rooms with open-air hot springs. It has been passed down through 16 generations. Furthermore, the central area of Shibu Onsen boasts a 1300-year-old hot spring...
The staff could speak English very well and patient to help us with the private onsen bookings. There was also a shuttle bus from Yudanaka station to the hotel. Hotel was located just opposite the photo spot which resembles the one in Spirited Away. Onsen eggs for sale at 100 yen are just outside the hotel. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious too. Love the private onsen too!
This is a very nice, historic hotel in the hot spring town. The hotel facilities are well-maintained, and the meals are plentiful. There are eight hot spring options available on-site, including two outdoor ones, which is fantastic.
Super friendly host, very comfortable, clean and all staff speak English and very kind to foreigners.

Great onsen and dinner
The room shows some age but it’s comfortable. The public onsen is very good with an indoor pool and an outdoor one for both men’s and women’s spas. We have the half board option with our room. They serve our dinners in a private room. The food was great and staff were friendly. Breakfast was served buffet style and has a good variety of food. They also offer rides to Snow Monkey...
Rooms were clean, towels and japanese robes replaced each day. The onsens were clean, the outdoor one was usually empty, just for me. The gentleman at the reception was accommodating to us and gave us a few rides from the hotel to different locations (station, monkey park).
The hotel is nice with a decent traditional breakfast spread and beautiful onsen, but the actual hotel is outside the shibu onsen city so it is impossible to go into any of the 9 hot springs except 1. We had to find another room at a hotel nearby to get the key for the onsen.
2 nights in Nagano
Stayed 2 nights to rest and recover before going to Tokyo. The hotel was a short walk from the station with idyllic scenery with beautiful Sakura and mountains.
The personelle were super nice and helpful. They provided a free bus ride to the snow monkey park.
The room was spacious and comfy. The hotel dinner and breakfast were amazing. Highly recommend the dinner.

The room was very large and comfortable. What made the place great was the ping pong table, mini pool table. Once you understand the onsen process it is pretty easy. Note: restaurant is by reservation only. Dinner snow crab dinner is worth the price. Open bar. Also cash only needed do the hotel tax due at arrival.
The reality exceeded my expectations; the hotel was even better than I imagined. The room was very comfortable for a family with a small child! There's a private hot spring for families available by reservation, though the usage time is a bit short, it's still great overall! The food is high-quality, delicious, and varied. It's also possible to extend your stay for 1000 yen per hour, which is super...
We really enjoyed the ryokan; we stayed for one night. The dinner buffet was particularly great, with crabs, fish, hot pot, beer, and sake. Breakfast was also quite good. The rooms were standard. There's an onsen, and we booked a 30-minute slot and went right away. I didn't get a chance to visit the public baths.
I was there for a ski trip, and the hotel's location was quite convenient for driving.
However, I stayed at this hotel for 8 nights, and I found it incredibly hard to understand why the breakfast and dinner were exactly the same every single night, with no variation or novelty whatsoever.
The hotel facilities are very old. The outdoor onsen for showering was extremely cold, to the point of being unbearable...
The facilities are a bit old, and the public bath's hygiene was just so-so. The location is good, but dinner was also mediocre.
Not a comfortable at all. Bed is hard. Big onsen pool serves only for ladies. For man, both of private and public pool are small. Dinner variety is looked much but no suprise in taste.

A Japanese Australian gave me excellent advice.

So we spent 5 days in this hotel & loved it. We enjoyed an empty hotel, zero queues, excellent snow. 90 minutes by bullet train from Tokyo and...
Mostly good experience. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The French restaurant was delicious. And it was great that there was a ski rental and storage right inside the hotel. Added to that, the convenience of skiing right to the lift is heavenly. The bar/ lounge was chill and cozy. However it either seemed there was a shortage of staff, mostly new staff, or both. The mandatory dinner...
This is my second visit. The hotel is stylish with three decent fine dining restaurants, of teppan, French and Japanese. The wine list is very extensive with lot of Bordeaux and Burgundy wine. The staff are very helpful, especially Yuka who is smart and helpful to reserve the dinner for us though we were late to the hotel. This year, we stay in the new wing and the double room is clean, spacious with...
Good service, room facilities are a bit old
It's the serenity of the location, waking up to fluffy snow falling and the snow filled trees and mountains seemingly right outside your window. Due to being at the end of the line for the ski resorts at Shiga Kogen it has it's advantages and this is one of them. You get first snow as everyone else on the mountain takes their time to get over to Okushiga. Hotel staff are great, you get to know...
Third time at this hotel and it’s still the Best. Ski in ski out fireplace pianist recital every night. Great food in the Japanese restaurant and okay in the French restaurant.

Skiing in Shiga Kogen, you're right on the gondola, hahahaha.
Breakfast and dinner are included, so don't worry, the dinner was delicious.
The only downside was the lack of WiFi in the room.
The room is big. The service is good. Dinner is ready when you come back from skiing.
You need to book breakfast and dinner! Otherwise there is nowhere to eat, the hotel's dinner is very good! I went skiing specifically, right in front of the Ichinose Snow Resort, the location is great! The hotel has history!
It is very convenient to ski, ski-in, ski-out, and rent skis. Although the quality of the skis is average, the price is affordable. You can exchange ski tickets across the street. What I am not satisfied with is the breakfast, which is too American. There is nothing to eat, and there is no food after 8:15. I stayed for several days and the bacon was gone every time. The good thing is that the dinner...
The hotel facilities are relatively old, and the only difference is that it is located next to the Ichinose cable car. The hot spring is only open in the afternoon, and the breakfast is average. It is not recommended.
The impression of this hotel is very special. The old man at the front desk is very friendly. Although we don't speak the language, he still tries to help us solve the problem. The location of the hotel is very good, ski in and ski out of the ski resort.

We really enjoyed this hotel. Service and amenities amazing
Stayed while visiting the snow monkeys. The location was ideal and the food was very good.
While I was there, only one member of staff was manning the front desk as well undertaking other responsibilities around the hotel, but a phone was left at the front desk so you could call when you needed assistance. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and enjoyed the retro-feel. The free drinks and snacks in the lounge area were a nice touch and I loved the outdoor Onsen.
Room was good size and bed was comfortable. Hotel is close to Yudanaka station and shops. Enjoyed my stay.
No towel at the basin. Poor design at the room entrance; you have to stretch your leg to go to the bathroom and basin.
Only one night stay but can’t complain and was able to store my bags there after check out while I went to the snow monkeys which was a great bonus.

I stayed here to snowboard at Ryuo Ski Park. I made the reservation in a hurry and didn't check it properly, but the hotel is located halfway up the slope, so you will be picked up and dropped off by a snowmobile from the ski resort parking lot.

Food was really good. It was a buffet so quantity was no issue.

Plus, the whole setup is huge and spacious unlike any other Japanese facility I have been to.
Some might say it's old, but I thought it's a little vintage.

I booked a Western-style room, but for some reason I was assigned a Japanese-style room 😢 But it didn't matter. The cleanliness and facilities were fine. There's a hot spring and a place to store ski equipment. The only downside was the buffet breakfast and dinner; it felt like pre-made convenience foods. Luckily, I was only staying one night; I really couldn't stand eating like that every day. The...

This family run hotel offers a great hospitality. Full board includes very delicious 10 course Japanese dinner and wholesome breakfast. Location are good close to the slopes.
One of the most convenient hotels in Ichinose, Shiga. Very close to the cable car, with convenience stores nearby, large tatami rooms, and spacious hot spring baths and storage rooms. Great value for money.
Even though the rooms don't have private showers, the public baths and hot springs are open 24/7, so you can always freshen up. The all-inclusive breakfast and dinner were also thoughtfully prepared in a very traditional Japanese style, with a paper menu provided each evening.

He also printed out the bus schedule and made sure I knew exactly how to get back. That level of care really stood out.

Once reserved, they'll deliver your gear to the hotel's basement, which is super convenient. You can change in the drying room, store your belongings, and have your ski equipment looked after.

The hotel facilities are rather basic and lack overall maintenance. The rooms are okay, but the price-performance ratio is low. It's a 5-minute drive from Jigokudani Monkey Park, and there's a Lawson convenience store nearby.
We loved it there. This town is about a 15 minute walk to Shu
Clean room, comfortable, simple breakfast
And good location. It is exactly as described.
Ichiro, the innkeeper, was very kind and even drove us to the snow money reserve and back free of charge. Nice to experience a traditional Japanese ryokan. Highly recommended.
Convenience: It is a 7-minute walk from Yudanaka Station, but we went there in February when it snowed. We were inexperienced for the first time and dragged our suitcases up the snowy road. We were almost angry. So it is recommended to bring a backpack if you come to Yudanaka for a day or two.

Google Maps navigation was inaccurate, constantly changing between front and back streets. It took me 20 minutes and several questions to find the right place. They should change the picture of the main gate and put the sign inside.
The heating would automatically turn off. I woke up cold the first night because I had to wait until the next morning to find someone to restart it. They explained it...
Some of the best customer service we've ever experienced. Ms. Abe was wonderful and her English was excellent. The outdoor onsen was perfect, truly beautiful. A big, well landscaped area, truly relaxing. All guests get to reserve 30 minutes of private use each evening, which was wonderful, but you can also go back during men's time, women's time, or mixed if you want to enjoy some more. The breakfast...
We book this ryokan at the end of our stay in Japan, we thought we still have the energy to go to shiga kogen after snow monkey and just sleep at the ryokan, but I was wrong. We are so tired and decided to be at this ryokan the whole stay. Good thing they had reservation for private outdoor onsen for 30mins.
Pros:
Private outdoor onsen for 30mins by schedule. And the place is perfect, its like the...
The boss's service is very considerate and thoughtful! The room is very clean, the outdoor hot spring, the environment is very good

It's a short walk (10mins) to Shibu-Onsen...

The 2 staff who received us really took care of us. We asked to be moved to a room with a better view and they did. The breakfast was really good, it was the best breakfast that we had in Japan.
The arrival experience wasn't exciting or attractive. It wasn't clear which road to take, they need to add more road signs in English for the foreign guests.
We booked ski lessons and our instructor was very...
Just wanna share my experience of staying in this beautiful hotel.

3- Onsens and the view are something out from this world
4- What I was really amazed is the kitchen and the chef that is cooking...
