Intimate cultural experience
Pros:

The traditional culture sucks you in at this place and although there are no private bathrooms, it is to fully immerse yourself in the experience of onsen. And, in addition to comfortable accommodations, the dining on site was superior with custom-made local food options for both breakfast and dinner. Access to the ski mountain is across the street which made renting and skiing from our very own hotel easy and lended an intimate family run feel.

Great place to stay for skiing at Kumanoyu
Pros:

Dinner and breakfast are great at Shiga Kogen Lodge. This is the third ski season we have stayed there. Location is good, with a short walk to either ski areas. The lodge has a nice lounge room which we used on occasions.
Staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The fire in the lounge tends to get smoke into the lodge, you need to close both doors of your room to avoid it getting in your room.

Insgesamt ein großartiges Hotel mit persönlicher Atmosphäre, exzellentem Service und perfekter Lage.
Pros:

Wir hatten einen rundum wunderbaren Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das unglaublich freundliche und hilfsbereite Personal, man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an herzlich willkommen und bestens betreut. Der Service ist sehr persönlich und aufmerksam, was den Aufenthalt besonders angenehm macht.
Auch das Essen war hervorragend.
Die Lage des Hotels ist ebenfalls perfekt, nur etwa drei Minuten vom Skilift entfernt. Dadurch ist es ideal für einen entspannten Skiurlaub ohne lange Wege.

Enjoyed three nights stay for skiing.
Pros:

Dinners were excellent. Breakfast was good. Ski storage area was good. Between two ski areas - easy walk to either lift (particularly upper). Easy/good ski hire at the lodge. Easy lift ticket purchase near either lifts. Enjoyed fire place/lounge. Onsen a fairly basic set up but was great after a day of skiing. Easy to get the free shuttle from just outside the Lodge (Hotaru Onsen). Lodge was bigger than expected. Fairly aged. Room 201 has its own toilet and a shower. Has everything you need available. Private onsen/saunas looked good - but didn't use these. Dogs are allowed to stay (which was super cute)

Cons:

No servicing to rooms - you made up your own beds and put them away each day. Every second day or so you have a clean towel, sheet and pillow cases dropped in your room. The towels were terrible - small and thin. One western toilet on each floor - can be a bit limiting if you don't have a toilet in your room.

Nice stay.
Pros:

Food was very good. The owners were very nice too and went out of his way to help us.

Cons:

A bit far from other ski resorts. If you don’t have a car, it can take 1.5hour by shuttle bus and needs exchange.

Tolles Hotel, jederzeit wieder!
Pros:

Die Besitzer und das Personal sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Hotel liegt im Schigebiet, man kann dort Schiausrüstung ausleihen. Frühstück und Abendessen sind phantastisch. Es gibt ein Onsen im Hotel und ein privates Onsen mit Sauna im Freien. Die Zimmer sind typisch japanisch, die Toiletten im Stockwerk, sehr sauber, extra Toilettenschuhe werden bereitgestellt. Es gibt eine schöne Lobby mit Kaminfeuer.

Cons:

Es war alles super. Nur ein kleiner Tipp: größere Schlappen für Männer mit Schuhgröße 44+.
