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.

If you are on the fence about this hotel, just book it! This hotel is located in the heart of Ichinose, and coincidentally has almost all of the restaurants in Ichinose on site. The hotel is a relic from the 1998 Nagano Olympics. While some of the decor may be considered dated, it really ads to the overall vibe of the hotel. It is right next to the main ski slope of Ichinose. The rooms are very spacious and clean. The staff were friendly. The yakiniku restaurant on the first floor is great, but I was partial to the shokudo next door. There is also a daily Yamazaki in the hotel next door. I was very confused about the layout of Shiga Kogen or if this would be a good location, but you have access to the entire central mountain area from Ichinose. My favorite part is that this might be the last hold out ski resort that isn’t overrun by foreigners. Most of the staff are Japanese, and many of the hotel guests are as well. Don’t miss out on the Japanese style breakfast!

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.

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.

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.

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.
