The room at Chalet Shiga was cozy with Western beds on soft carpeted floors, providing a comforting retreat after a day of exploring. As an older guest, I appreciated the familiar comfort and restful ambiance.

I also can enjoy the stay as a summer resort. I can stop the bar for late-night drinks. I can relax in the spacious public baths and sauna. Cons: Oh, what a deal-breaker, a curfew at 23:00! .

The onsen and sauna were a hidden gem amidst the snowy mountains, providing relaxation like a warm hug on a chilly day. It felt like soaking in a hot spring in the middle of a winter wonderland, melting away all stress and fatigue.

Minor noise from pipes.

Ideal ski-in ski-out location with nearby ski rental, AMAZING traditional Japanese meals, relaxing Onsen baths, friendly staff, comfortable rooms with ski storage, and convenient shuttle service.

Me and my friend were pretty stoked staying here for a weekend ski trip. Ski in and out convenience was clutch, and the half board package kept our bellies happy. the rooms were top-notch, staff super friendly, and the onsen was a must-do after hitting the slopes. We felt right at home, and the mix of Japanese and western cuisine hit the spot. Definitely coming back for round two! Just need a dry room next time for the gear!

stayed at a fantastic ski resort in Yamanouchi for our honeymoon. Chalet Shiga exceeded expectations with exceptional service, delicious meals, and cozy room overlooking the forest. the proximity to the ski slopes was unbeatable.

room temperature too hot

stayed at chalet shiga - amazing location opposite ski lift, spacious rooms. delicious traditional dinners at main restaurant, helpful staff. onsen baths and cafe on-site. convenient ski hire and storage downstairs. the breakfast offered a mix of japanese and western options. overall, a perfect stay for a ski getaway.

Nothing all excellent 😊.

Arriving at Chalet Shiga, I was greeted by a convenient ski-in, ski-out location and friendly staff. the room was cozy with a forest view and the Japanese baths were a highlight. the buffet meals offered tasty Japanese cuisine, although limited variety. a delightful ski lodge experience.

Had an amazing stay overlooking the slopes. Breakfast buffet was excellent, set us up perfectly for a day on the slopes. Would DEFINITELY choose again. Better than the photos suggested.

Great location for skiing, convenient ski shop, hot baths, Japanese style, friendly staff, delicious meals. Cons: Felt more than at home, nothing too much trouble.

We had a wonderful stay at a charming hotel in the heart of the mountains. The location was perfect for skiing, with easy access to the slopes just steps away. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a stunning view of the ski hill from the balcony. We especially loved the traditional Japanese living area with tatami mats. The Teppan bar on the main floor was a highlight, offering delicious meals and a lively atmosphere. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home. The public bath was impeccably clean, providing a relaxing retreat after a long day on the slopes. we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Shiga Kogen.

Convenient location near ski lift and lunch spot, with access to discounted lift tickets. Spacious rooms for Japan, ski hire and storage available. Onsite onsen and cafe/restaurant. Free tea and coffee at reception. Delicious traditional dinner and helpful staff.

Spent new year at a property located right on the slopes near the chairlift. Ski rental on the first floor offered great discounts. the breakfast buffet had a variety of options with both Japanese and western choices. the onsen was a nice feature and open 24 hours.

The property seems to have not undergone any renovations in many years, making it outdated. the onsen was not well-maintained and could use a good cleaning.
