The owners went out of there way to accomodate us in every way. The breakfast and dinners were exceptional. We really enjoyed our stay.

“Excellent”

Great location, near the ski slopes. Spacious room. Onsen was amazing, and there is a good option to book a private onsen as well.

A more traditional Japanese accommodation but great experience if that's what you want to book. The dinners included were exceptional, one of the highlights of our japan trip was staying here.

“Great place to stay for skiing at Kumanoyu”

Dinner and breakfast are great at Shiga Kogen Lodge. This is the third ski season we have stayed there. Location is good, with a short walk to either ski areas. The lodge has a nice lounge room which we used on occasions. Staff are friendly and helpful.

“It was a great experience, and very memorable. The staff are amazing - very accommodating, the meals were excellent and”

The staff are excellent, meals were awesome, location is great

“Enjoyed three nights stay for skiing.”

Dinners were excellent. Breakfast was good. Ski storage area was good. Between two ski areas - easy walk to either lift (particularly upper). Easy/good ski hire at the lodge. Easy lift ticket purchase near either lifts. Enjoyed fire place/lounge. Onsen a fairly basic set up but was great after a day of skiing. Easy to get the free shuttle from just outside the Lodge (Hotaru Onsen). Lodge was bigger than expected. Fairly aged. Room 201 has its own toilet and a shower. Has everything you need available. Private onsen/saunas looked good - but didn't use these. Dogs are allowed to stay (which was super cute)

“Nice stay.”

Beautiful lodge very hospitable helpfull owners and a beautiful dog. Excellent food very friendly ski lodge .Beautiful memories of food skiing and onsen. George and Gordana

“Great atmosphere, incredible food, staff outstanding!”

“Great location for a Shiga Kogen stay”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cosy ski lodge. Our room was comfortable and warm, and we made use of the onsen each day after skiing. Breakfast was a hearty buffet and dinner a good Japanese set meal. Not as posh or 'sophisticated' as some other places but good, plentiful quality food. The owner, Takashi and his wife are very energetic and always around to help. We also rented skis, boots and poles from here and they were excellent quality and a reasonable price. It's an easy drive to all the ski areas of Shiga Kogen from here. Overall, we had a great stay and I'd very much recommend it.

“Perfect Japanese Lodge”

Family run Lodge with Exceptional five star level dining every night and great breakfast selection in the morning. Greeted and welcomed from the moment we walked in the door, from staff to the lovely resident pooch. Warm fire place to relax after a day snowboarding with a drink or marhsmallows, special sauna and private onsen to book. Cosy onsen. Spacious Japanese style room with western chairs as well as standard Japanese table and cushions. Comfy futons. Close to both mtn lifts. Had great stay will be back!!

Food, cleanliness, nice building and lounge, warm

Food is amazing. We had the 1/2 board with breakfast and dinner. So good Great onsen, and esp great private spa The rooms are very comfortable but not all have private toilets. You can request rooms with private bathroom Easy to get to all the higher ski fields once you work out the bus locations and schedule Good parking Great lounge area with ery cozy open fireplace. Good after dinner for a drink and board games Moko the hotel dog is so cute

“a unique experience in a stunning location”

the cuisine experience, the mens onsen. very helpful owners and staff

“Gorgeous hotel and lovely family owners and staff. Moko also very cute.”

Shiga Kogen Lodge is a delightful ryokan old style Japanese hotel. The indoor public bath has beautiful views and the outdoor experience in a snow storm with snow flurries everywhere was surreal (cost 5000 Yen). Family and staff are incredibly kind and friendly. I don’t mind the separate bathrooms - it is the ryokan style - our room for four had our our own toilet and hand washroom which was convenient. The food in the half-board rate was delicious and exquisitely prepared for us but the family and staff.

“We felt very comfortable and welcome there despite no command of Japanese language. It has not been any issue”

Family ran lodge with everything you need right next to lifts to 4 different slopes!! How can it be better than this?

The hosts are simply amazing and the food is great!

“Lovely lodge w a beautiful view n close to ski stations”

Moko, the house golden retriever was the highlight of the property . The fireplace was an added bonus. Dinner was awesome .

“Comfortable, great location and excellent food”

Great Food Loved the Japanese meals. Evening meal was served individually. Breakfast was help yourself. Mostly Japanese style but included cereal, fruit as well as eggs, bacon, bread rolls

“A true gem in Shiga Kogen! A real culinary delight with the best hosts!”

The staff were just so lovely, friendly and helpful. The food was AMAZING. The best we have eaten through all of Japan. Dinner time was the highlight of our day after a long day skiing. The communal dining was also great for meeting with other guests and chatting. And, the dog was a huge bonus.
