“Fantastic comfortable stay right next to the slopes”
Location was ski in ski out, the onsen, badminton/ping pong court, and common TV lounge for bigger groups to gather after skiing. Each room was pre-allocated a table for dining and we could take our time in the dining hall so it felt very relaxing.

“Dates but more than pleasant hotel ideally located for skiing and with a great breakfast and dinner buffet.”
We really enjoyed this hotel. It’s ideally placed in the Shiga Kogen ski area. You can almost ski to the door in spring. It’s a 3m walk to the piste from which a large ski area is available on high season. Be warned if you come after March as the piste opening hours shift week by week. Some lifts only open once or twice a week and some areas are closed for the season. Hotel wise the Onsen was the best we experienced in 4 weeks of Japan. Hard to believe but this old skool Onsen really was generous in space and classic in design. Our room was spacious - we opted for the Japanese style bedrooms with futons you have to prepare each day. You can get rooms with western style beds. We really enjoyed the buffet breakfast and dinner. A highlight. The food for what’s essentially an all inclusive was great. The right mixture between local foods and European tastes. The hotel is definitely dates with a 90s feel but it all works and runs and the staff are mostly helpful.

“It was strategically located for ski in and ski out, nice and quiet hotel.”
It’s a cozy, clean and nice hotel with pleasant staff especially Ms Saori. She could speak a little bit of Mandarin and was very helpful throughout our stay. Things that need improvement are the pillows which we find it a little too soft and low and secondly, perhaps change breakfast menu a bit more frequent will be perfect for long staying guests. The onsen facility was fantastic and we enjoyed shopping at the little convenient store at the lobby.

“Handy location hotel”
Hotel Ichinose was in the middle of the village near the ski slope and bus stop which was great to go to the snow monkeys etc. The staff were always very helpful. The tatami room was a very good size. You could rent ski gear there.

“Great stay in Ichinose”
Perfect location for skiing and getting the bus. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean hotel and rooms. Lovely Onsen. Food was yummy and had a lot of options. The skis we hired didn’t seem very fancy or new - but they performed excellently and were a great price.

The rooms was nice and big and had great views of the slopes. The bed was comfortable. They provided you with everything you would need and if you need anything else the staff were very accommodating. The ski rental was good quality for people who are just looking to have a good time and and too worried about looks. The ski jacket and pants were new and good quality. The room price included breakfast and dinner. They had a range of options to choose from.

“Ok but could be better”
It was at the ski slope directly. It’s in a busy village with restaurants (not so many choice, but better than nothing)
