Great Location & Very Comfortable

21/02/2011
The Shiga Kogen Prince Hotel is a fabulous place to stay. The location is fantastic and the ski-in ski-out convenience is superb. 

We stayed in a twin room in the East Wing. The room was really spacious and the beds were large and sooooo comfortable. The room provided awesome views of the ski area which was particularly tranquil in the evenings when the slopes were illuminated. They have an impressive “green strategy” whereby for every day that you don’t get your room fully serviced (ie sheets and towels changed) you get ¥2,000 worth of vouchers to spend at the bar or shop. 

Even though the East Wing dining room is like a big hall, the ambience is still delightful because of the 270 degree views. The restaurant service is impressive, and the food pretty good, but it’s somewhat overpriced especially if you want a glass of wine. The children’s set menus are also rather pricy, so any families on a budget would be better placed for dinner at one of the other wings or in Ichinose. 

Be aware that whilst the hotel as a whole has extensive facilities, each wing may only have some amenities, and a shuttle bus ride is required to access the others. 

The lobby lounge area can be a rather social place to gather. For such deluxe accommodation, it was somewhat surprising that the lobby was very drab. The friendly reception staff added some spark, and one of the girls spoke a degree of English and almost bent over backwards to be of assistance. This was a huge plus for the hotel. 

All in all, this is a great choice for accommodation at Shiga Kogen.
