Loved everything about the place and the staff were so friendly - felt like a large and luxurious home. Also they have they have most cute dog. It's about a 100 meters from the piste. Oh - oh, and the food is amazing, such a journey into Japanese during our 3 days and 3 dinners!

We loved our stay at Shiga Kogen Lodge. The meals were incredible particularly the dinners which were different each night and allowed us to try many traditional Japanese dishes. The traditional rooms and onsen were excellent. My boys loved to play with their gorgeous dog Moko each day. The owners were so friendly and always available to answer questions. The lodge is super close to Yokoteyama ski resort which had more than enough ski runs for us. We would definitely recommend this place, thank you for a great stay!

The beautiful fireplace with comfy sofas and Moko the nicest dog in Japan . Free marshmallows to toast in the fire. Breakfast and dinner was sensational. After a great day skiing the onsen was great for those aches and pains. Short walk to ski lift

The Lodge is kept at around 20 C, so the common areas are all warm, our room was pleasantly warm even without the heating on (and you can open the window to air it out), the whole Lodge feels spacious, there is a lounge with wood fire at night, there is a very affectionate Golden Retriever who will make you feel welcome, the location gives good access to Yokote-yama/Shibu-toge ski resort and Kumanoyu ski resort, the meals are very good including some regional specialities in the evening, the onsen bath was the perfect temperature (a little hot at first, but enough to warm your body through after soaking for 5 or 10 minutes), and most of all, the hospitality was very warm and generous.

The staff were incredibly friendly and the food was amazing. We got to try many traditional Japanese foods that were delicious and really pushed us out our comfort zone for things we already know!
