I've stayed here before and it's in a great location. Two-walk in restaurants on the 1st floor makes things very easy.(but best to book) The ski room is very good and spacious.

It was hard to walk to the main hotel from the caravan. You had to walk down the slope to the hotel which could be very slippery. However the hotel staff was happy carry our luggage up and down. There weren't many open restaurants in the Ichinose area. So best bring your own food. Inside the hotel, there were two restaurants, one wasn't too pricey but very good. The Daruma restaurant was the best; it had great Japanese dinner sets and very good burgers (but not so good tortilla chips with it). The hotel buffet at breakfast and dinner weren't too good so I'd consider skipping those.

We stayed in the caravan, which was a trailer home on the slope. We could almost ski directly from it. The place was well set up for people who want to make their own food, of which we brought a lot. It had a big refrigerator, microwave and electric kettle. We ate on the floor from the coffee table, but there was a sofa that you could also eat on. The trailer had its own internet router which worked very well for streaming Netflix; something not typical for Japanese ski resorts. The hot water heater worked very well as well, meaning nice hot showers. The room had a small bath but there was a small but clean indoor hot tub at the hotel that is free to use. The place is very close to the Ichinose bus stop. You can take the bus for free to any Shiga Kogen area slope. But frankly it was not necessary as we were already right on the slope.

Other than the hotel's buffet and one restaurant in the basement, there aren't many restaurant or nightlife options nearby. The decor is dated and kitschy, although in a somewhat endearing way.

The location is perfect for skiing: the slopes (including rental office) is a less than 2 minute walk down the road. There is a rental shop in the building, but it only has beginner gear: advanced gear can be found an 8-minute walk down the road. The bus stop is also close by, both for the local bus and the bus to Nagano.

Breakfast was limited. Not much food options besides the restaurants in the building. Room toilet really small (tiny!)

Close to the slopes. Comfy pillows. Good ofuro. Nice staff. Lots of fruit for breakfast. Ski rental shop in the building, and cheap rental. Ski rental options very limited. Rooms big.

It didn't have a fireplace or nice area to sit as a group. The area there was very dated.

Hotel Japan Shiga was in a great location for skiing in/out, staff were very helpful and facilities good.

Breakfast and buffet dinner are both great and good options. We like the yakiniku restaurant in the hotel too, very good but the service is quite slow. Hotel is very well located with walking distance to the slopes, the ski rental shop is in the hotel and with locker room, very convenient. We have all we need for the ski holiday.

Facilities were slightly old and have seen better days.

Rooms were spacious and great for ski in and out.

Perhaps the toilet.. No bidet

The fact that there are few restaurants nearby you can choose from and more importantly, the ski ticket office and ski is just 100m (more or less) away. I basically skied to it. Ski rental can be made at the hotel building itself (third party rental)

Facility is just acceptable. Elevator is busy during morning and evening. Public Bathroom is cold.

Great location close to Ichinose family ski resort. Near bus station. Rental shop available but ski board and boots a little bit old. Meals available all day which is exceptional when most restaurants closed. Dinner restaurant is wonderful for yakiniku. Friendly and helpful staff.

Not much, may be no true onsen is the only shortcomings

Pretty and full of design of the hotel lobbies. Great buffet of breakfast and dinner . Good stay in ski ground.

My heater stopped working for a couple of hours, but I was supplied an electric heater very promptly.

The Breakfast is ok, but the same most mornings. The location is excellent, about 40m from the ski slope. I did not use the in hotel restaurant for dinner, but the two commercial restaurants on the 1st floor are very good and convenient.
