The Shiga Palace provides many facilities. From the main dining hall, Luciole Restaurant, the two large communal hot spring baths, sundries shop, coffee lounge, Executive Lounge, ski storage and rental store and WiFi in guest rooms and public areas, there is something for everyone.
Shiga Palace Hotel is located at 1,700 meter above sea level and just footsteps away from the chairlift of two of Japan’s premier ski resorts and finest mountains, Mt. Yokote (the highest ski resort in Japan) and Kumanoyu, home of the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympic and Paralympic games. A short walk from the Hotel’s main entrance you will find the Suzurikawa bus stop. From here you can take a free shuttle to other ski areas.
Guest rooms are available with or without ensuites and feature western beds or futons, comfortably sleeping up to 4. All rooms offer a flat screen TV, a small fridge, towels, complimentary in-room green tea and biscuits, toothbrush & toothpaste.

Larger Japanese style rooms with tatami flooring, futons and shared bathrooms are available and are ideal for large groups on a budget.
