Pros:

Super bien placé, toute l'équipe du personnel super acceuillante, super onsen exterieur
la piece principale du logement traditionnel avec vue sur les pistes (singes des neiges et coucher de soleil) est un lieu ressourcant

Cons:

La propreté de la salle de bain et du hall d'entrée de l'appartement aurait pu être nickel

Probably would not return
Pros:

Nice view.

Cons:

Hard to get to and from. Not suitable for beginners. No restaurant nearby. No lessons available except in Japanese. Everything closed on Wednesday. Woke up with sore back every morning. Hotel is ageing, more like a lodge.

I had an amazing time at Shiga Swiss Inn. I absolutely loved it. Any complaint would be nitpicking. Well worth it in eve
Pros:

Comfortable room, very large compared to every other place I stayed in Japan. Facilities were fine, staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

It is a bit of a mission to get to but the team there were very accomodating organising the shuttle bus and even picking me up at the exact time the main but got me up the mountain. I was the last passenger and I got off the big bus in the snow and the shuttle was there waiting as I had called ahead.

Also as they state on their website, the snow equipment hire is pretty outdated. My second board hire in Hakuba was a much better board that I felt way more comfortable on. Not a big deal but something worth noting.
