The lovely husband and wife duo and Daymaruya Ryokan were fabulous hosts (and their English is very good)! We were picked up from the train station when we arrived, and were ferried around the Yamanouchi town (being dropped off and picked up) for our whole stay. Our hosts had great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. The homemade traditional breakfast provided was great. The Ryokan had its own private onsen, which we loved! The facilities were extremely clean.

The owner couple, Mr. & Mrs. Watanabe, are very nice and friendly. Mrs. Wananabe is a very good chef and has prepared nice breakfast and dinner for us for different days and nights. Mr. Watanabe has been very helpful in facilitating our stay and he has used his vehicle to shuttle us to the station for connection to the shuttle buses for different skiing areas in the region, as well as for visiting the Monkey Park. The hotel is rather close to the Park.

It was a charming experience to stay in a traditional Japanese hotel surrounded by the beautiful mountains. We got a corner room and the views were amazing! We found the bedding very comfortable and the room was very warm and cozy upon our arrival. We enjoyed the Onsen very much and for those of you who are unsure - yes, you do go into the Onsen without a swimsuit or anything else on your body (male and female have separate baths and dressing rooms)

Upon arrival, we noticed our names written on the outside welcome board - such a nice touch and a warm welcome from the friendly owners of this ryokan. The room was spacious and we loved having the kotatsu (a low, wooden table frame covered by a blanket, with a heat source underneath). Very comfortable futons to sleep on as well. The owners were kind and helpful and speak perfect English. This is a pet-friendly property - hard to find in the area.

This was my first Ryokan experience, and I loved it. The reception was warm, friendly, and attentive. They also provided a shuttle to the monkey park the next morning. It is located on a walkable street with some shops, restaurants and onsens which you will have access to as a guest of the Ryokan. The onsite open air onsen was really nice.

We were a group of 4 So the social area was really nice, sitting by the fireplace and relaxing after skiing was perfect. Onsen was great after a day on the slopes. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Location was awesome, 150m to the lifts. Breakfasts were good and lots of variety. Ski rental gear from hotel was affordable and easy

Very helpful staff. Nice combination of traditional building and fresh finishes. Their private onsen, hidden right in the middle of town, is excellent (they also give you access to the bath of a historic hotel, and have the key to the 9 public communal baths).

The owners were very helpful with our Christmas stay at Sunny Shiga. I didn’t check out the onsen but the ski locker room and hotel room were fine. The beds were a little stiff but it was okay. Close to the slopes and bus stop to get to the other resorts!

We loved the hotel’s onsen and it’s location to hills that are perfect for our kids first ski lessons! The staff were all incredibly friendly and fun to talk with.

The skiing was amazing. The hotel is right on the mountain so renting ski equipment, getting ski passes and accessing the ski lift were easy and very enjoyable.

Proximity to the ski slope and the help provided to reach the medical center (they offered the hotel's car)

The hotel staffs were all friendly and helpful. The front desks staffs kind and polite.

It was an absolute mind-blowing experience of staying in Ryokan for the first time. The hotel is super quiet, with three (2 public + 1 private) onsens. We ordered a dinner and it was magical, full dive into Japanese traditions. Before coming we were a bit concerned that it might be cold inside the room (since we traveled in January) but it wasn't. There is a thermostat inside, so you can control the temperature. Location is great, right next to the walking street.

I loved everything, breakfast was amazing. Staff are super super friendly. They drove us to and from the station, snow monkey park. We also booked a private bath session which is located on the roof top, it was one of the best experience we had.

This ryokan was lovely. The staff were friendly and spoke English very well. The food was delicious! We loved the outdoor onsen, and it was very near the snow monkey park.

Chalet Shiga has a great location, wonderful hospitality and comfortable rooms.
