Rigid camplike structure delivered in 1940s packaging. Uncomfortable, unpleasant and unrepresentative of Japanese hospit
Pros:

Ski in ski out location with disciplinary communal living army camp vibes. Canceled after 1 night - barely stayed a total of 13 hours!

Cons:

It was like army camp! The hotel manager was rude to us, other customers and clearly maltreats her employees who seemed terrified all the time.
The rooms were not very clean.
Towels and sheets had holes in them.
The walls were paper thin and it was noisy. There was a foul smell throughout the rooms.
The toilets didn’t flush properly and leaked.
The onsen is very small.
None of the rooms have private bathrooms.
The hotel description and hotel website is a scam nothing is true.

an awesome Japanese experience
Pros:

If you want to have a genuine Japanese experience look no further. This is a family run hotel that is located 15 meters from the ski lift in the Sun Valley. It is set up on a traditional way - sleeping mats instead of beds, hot spring Onsen instead of the room shower and lovely Kimonos instead of the bath robes. Food is excellent and the place is set up in a very homey way. Resort offers ski and snowboarding equipment and has a shop with gifts and snacks . We absolutely loved it

Cons:

If you have large feet be mindful to bring your own slippers as the plentiful slippers provided by the hotel are too small for Western feet.

Pros:

Nostalgic Japanese Inn located right at the bottom of Sun Valley, outside the chairlift that connects to the rest of the resorts in Shiga Kogen.
Huge proportions and varieties of dishes for breakfast and dinner, but quality is so-so
spacious Japanese room, comfortable futons. Loved the Onsen

Cons:

Dated, a lot of the facilities look like it has not been updated since the 70s
buckwheat pillow was small and hard.
funky drain smell in the ensuite bathrooms

Authentisch japanisch für Ruhesuchende und Skifahrer
Pros:

Die ruhige Lage inmitten von meterhohem Schnee direkt an der Piste und am Lift war sehr gut. Die Busse halten direkt am Hotel, sodass man auch Ausflüge in andere Skigebiete oder ins Städtchen oder vor allem zu den im heißen Wasser badenden Affen machen konnte. Das Zimmer war groß und warm und die Tatami Matten bequem, es gab auch genug davon und genug Decken zum Zudecken. Das Personal war immer freundlich und hilfsbereit, was bei uns auch nötig war, da Frühstück und Abendessen sehr japanisch waren und wir Erklärungen und Anleitung dafür brauchten. Ein ganz und gar japanisches Erlebnis!

Cons:

Man sollte auf rein japanisches Essen eingestellt sein und damit klarkommen.
Wir hatten ein Bad im Zimmer, was aber abgeschlossen war und (von ausländischen Gästen?) nicht benutzt werden durfte laut Hotelrezeption. Wir haben nicht verstanden warum nicht. Duschen/Waschen also nur im Onsen im Untergeschoss, mit anderen Gästen zusammen (nach Geschlechtern getrennt). Geht auch, aber Bad im Zimmer wäre trotzdem schön gewesen. Toilette war glücklicherweise separat im Zimmer vorhanden.
Die Austattung war einfach und auch schon älter, aber das hat mich gar nicht gestört, da alles sehr gepflegt war.

Pros:

The only real positive is the location directly at the ski slopes. That deserves a 10.

Cons:

We booked this hotel with high expectations and paid a premium rate per night.

Upon arrival, the front desk staff assumed we did not understand Japanese. We do. What they said about us was disrespectful and offensive simply because we are not Japanese. That is unacceptable. As a guest, you expect respect.

The room was very outdated. Everything felt old and not in line with the price we paid.

Dinner and breakfast were mediocre. For a premium nightly rate, you expect much better quality.

Cons:

Skimateriaal dat we huurden was niet van topkwaliteit

Pros:

It was right on the slopes. Ski lift is right outside the hotel. It is easy to get to on the bus. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The food is a bit hit and miss. We have stayed in similar resorts in the area before and I would say the food is better elsewhere. The hotel is clean but old.

The most amazing stay at the snow
Pros:

We had the most exceptional experience at Shiga No Yu - their staff was incredibly accommodating despite our poor Japanese and they provided a clean onsen, warm and cosy accommodation and most importantly the most amazing meals for breakfast and dinner every day! If you are looking for a traditional experience right outside a chairlift, this is the place to be!

Cons:

None whatsoever.

Ein wundervolles, erholsames Erlebnis
Pros:

Das mit Abstand netteste Personal, das ich je erleben durfte. Es wurde auf all meine Anliegen sofort Rücksicht genommen. Da ich ende September hier her kam, war ich quasi alleiniger Gast im Hotel.

Cons:

Der nächste Supermarkt/Minimarkt ist sehr weit entfernt
