“What stands out to me is its prime spot in Shiga Kogen, practically at the foot of the slopes, alongside the traditional rooms and the restorative onsen. The buffet, serving both local and European fare, sounds like a welcome treat after a day on the mountain, and the ski-to-door access seals the deal. A solid choice for those prioritizing convenience and comfort on a ski trip.”
