The staff's exceptional helpfulness and kindness truly set this place apart, creating a welcoming and homely a**osphere. From the facility (including the room, public bath, and onsen) to the overall ambiance, the staff's demeanor, the service, and the food – everything was outstanding 💯. Enthusiastic students who share a passion for skiing also contribute to the positive vibe here. Both breakfast and Kaiseki dinner serving local ingredients were incredibly delicious. I appreciated the availability of self-service coffee in the dining room during breakfast. The room, tastefully adorned in the style of a Japanese guest house with tatami mats on the floor and a Western bed in the sleeping area, is equipped with all the essential amenities. Complimentary water, tea, and small snacks add a thoughtful touch. In the basement drying room, you'll find a ski and snowboard stand along with shelves. The location proved perfect for us – not overly crowded. It's conveniently within walking distance to the Yokoteyama ski lift and the Akari restaurant, known for its fantastic katsu dishes, gyoza, and motsuni teishoku. For those who prefer not to walk, there's a free shuttle available from the main road. Additionally, purchasing Yokoteyama lift tickets at the front desk offers cost savings. On the other side of the hotel, you'll find the Kumanoyu ski resort, accessible on foot, with another excellent restaurant. We walked to Shiga Palace Hotel to buy snacks (sandwiches, otsumami etc..), alcohol and get our ski rentals. I highly recommend Hotel & Onsen 2307 Shiga Kogen Yokote in Nagano for the friendly staff, service, food, and convenient location of both ski lifts. Yuki, the proprietor was there during our stay and it showed she genuinely cared about her staff, guests, and service. Always thinking about her community, showcasing what they have to offer, and trying to preserve the beauty surrounding it. I hope you're one of the lucky ones who gets to meet her too.
