Shiga Kogen Olympic Hotel - Yamanouchi (Nagano)

3-star ski-to-door access hotel in Yamanouchi's Shiga Highlands

Ski Access & Location

Shiga Kogen Olympic Hotel sits directly across from the Ichinose Family Ski Area, giving guests ski-to-door access to the slopes. The hotel's position between two bus stops means a 100-500 ft walk to public transport, and Matsumoto Airport is 75 mi away. From this base, guests can reach Jigokudani Monkey Park, Zenkoji Temple, and Snow Monkey Town Yamanouchi by local bus.

Dining

The on-site restaurant serves buffet breakfast and dinner with Japanese, Western, and local specialties, including seafood and traditional dishes. Each buffet item is labeled with ingredients in English, which helps guests with dietary needs. A mini-market on site sells snacks and drinks, and the hotel also has vending machines on every floor.

Wellness & Amenities

After a day on the slopes, guests can use the hotel's onsen hot tub and public bath to ease sore muscles. A ski equipment rental shop operates on the first floor, and the hotel provides ski storage lockers. Free WiFi is available throughout the building, and luggage courier services can forward bags to the next destination.

Rooms & Family

Shiga Kogen Olympic Hotel offers Japanese-style rooms with tatami mats and futons, as well as twin rooms with private bathrooms. Family rooms accommodate groups, and some units include a sofa bed. Guests receive free yukata robes from the lobby, and the front desk staff can arrange private ski lessons through Bianca Ski School.

Guests can book private ski lessons directly at the front desk, and Snowcan rentals on the first floor provide equipment for skiing and snowboarding.
