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!

Amazing staff with genuine kindness and hospitality, great traditional Japanese style room. Japanese style Dinner and Breakfast are prepared and served with such love and care and are delicious. The onsen are to die for and so relaxing and private. Really ideal location a quick bus ride from the Snow Monkeys and Shiga Kogen ski resort. It was an unforgettable stay for us and will definitely be going back!

Great value-for-money budget stay for people skiing or visiting the snow monkey park. The owner is super friendly and uses Google Translate to make sure the non-Japanese speaking guests have everything they need - gave us lifts each morning to the station for the bus up to Shiga Kogen. Breakfasts were delicious and highly recommended - kept us fuelled for a morning on the slopes!

Traditional Japanese accommodations. Futons were clean and comfortable and the breakfast was healthy and nutritious. Conveniently located near onsen villages, Snow Monkey park and Shiga Kogen ski resort. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Loved the on-site onsen which had an indoor and outdoor area. super relaxing after a long day of exploring!

Very good breakfast and kaiseki dinner! Onsen can be considered private as I rarely see people using the facilities. Very convenient to shuttle to Shiga Kogen for snowboarding as well!

My favourite place I stayed in Japan. Great location, incredible staff, spacious room, and very reasonable price. Will stay here again when I go to Yudanaka/Shiga Kogen.

It was a super authentic Ryukan experience, the host was super friendly and courteous. We recommend booking the authentic breakfast and diner for full experience. If you travel as a couple there is even a private onsen you can use together. Everything was super Clean. 100% recommendation

The whole stay made us feel warm and welcoming, the hot springs are huge and the view is great. The dinner was sumptuous and the service was attentive.

The private onsen was very pleasant and allowed couples to bath together unlike the public baths. The location was very convenient for access to the public onsen also with numbers 1 and 2 only 100 meters or so away. The Japanese breakfast and dinner included with the room was excellent with very attentive and personal service.

Wonderful authentic Japanese experience

The staff was outstanding. They were kind, helpful, and in every way what one can hope for at a Ryokan.

The service was incredible, from the time we booked to the last goodbye. It was our first time in Japan and for most of us, our first time skiing. Naoko helped us with absolutely everything, booking extra space for our friends, booking the right tickets for ski lifts, guiding us where to go, looking for ski school, renting gear and equipment, taking buses, you name it! Always so kind and calm! Everyone in the hotel was extremely friendly and helpful. The place is really clean and like a home! You can pretty much ski from the hotel car park! Food was beautiful and it was just so nice to relax in the Onsen after a day of ski and before a feast! Not worrying about restaurants, with 4 teenagers, all we did at night was enjoy their company playing ping pong, cards and chatting about the day! We couldn’t feel more comfortable or welcome!

I never experienced such VIP service otherwise in the world. Whole reception teams demonstrated what extraordinary service should be. I arrived late by bus and was welcomed by one receptionist in bus stop. so I did not need to carry my luggage in the snowing road. They even opened the ski rental shop for me after working hour. The next morning, I missed public shuttle bus and they offered to use hotel shuttle bus to drive me over to ski lift in Yakebitaiyama without reservation in advance. I felt that I was living with a lot of friends instead of living in hotel. I was too tired to try the bar at night, and I would like to try it next time. Swimming pool was good with quite warm water. Hot bathing place with best view. Sun rising over snow mountain top. Breakfast was very good with many variations. The dinner I ordered was pork hotpot, and personally I think the starter tasted better and pork meat is okay. I will try something else next time. All in all, the service and room condition are all top.

The room was much bigger than I anticipated, and in a Japanese style (with tatami) so I was pleasantly surprised. The onsen in the hotel was an absolute delight. It had several baths with different temperatures, a lounge space, a sauna, a cold bath (which can be rare), and of course everything needed to wash yourself thoroughly before going into the baths. The hotel also provides body towels as well as face towels, so you don't need to bring yours. They have lockers to keep your items safe while bathing. There's free breakfast (little pieces of bread + some juice and coffee/tea) and a space on the first floor to relax after the onsen for example. It has wifi there as well.

I liked the Ryokan feeling of the room and hotel as a whole.
