Shigakogen Prince Hotel

The hotel is clean, nice view from the room. Ski in ski out is very convenient, locker is big enough to store 3 sets of equipments. Main drawback is no more free shuttle from the hotel to Ichinose starting March 22 and limited dining places in the hotel.

Had a nice experience here. The rooms had heating and windows that could open, which was great. There was hot water for showers whenever we needed it. We stayed for 4 nights in total and the rooms were cleaned on two days. If you need more towels on the non-cleaning days you can just ask the reception. The staff there were very helpful too. One thing that wasn’t great was that the room lights were very dim. Another thing was that we had the room at the end of the corridor which the furthest away from the lift- it was a long walk to the lift, around 100m. It’s better to request for a room near the lifts (lifts are not noisy). There was a secure cloak room for storing luggage, which is free of charge. We arrived before the 3pm check in time and stored our luggage in the cloak room while we went skiing). Breakfast and dinner buffets were pretty decent - there was a wide variety of foods to choose from. The west building was conveniently located near two chairlifts and we could head to different ski areas easily. Most of the chairlifts close at 4pm, but the one right outside the hotel closes at 4:30pm which was great. The shuttle buses were convenient to take when we wanted to go out for dinner. This hotel is conveniently located near Ichinose which has many restaurants. There is ski and snowboard equipment with clothing for rental at the hotel, but not for purchase. My ski pants broke on the trip and we went to so many different shops in shigakogen but only found 2 shops that sold a very limited selection of ski pants - Restaurant St Christophe (at Okushiga) and Snowcan Ichinose Diamond shop. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are looking for a ski-in-ski-out hotel. Shigakogen is an amazing place for a ski holiday - the slopes were not crowded at all during my stay and I never had to line up for a gondola or a chairlift.

service and environment is good, however too expensive, i would expect better facilities for this price

Everything is find and meet our expectation. Ski in ski out the hotel, free locker, also have onsen. No adverse comment and experience. It’s much convenient if you drive to hotel. Not much F&B choice. Ski gears quality are quite good in hotel rental shop. Room is small if u choose the cheapest type of room. However, it is worth to stay.

Good location, but small and old room. Overall still quite good. Recommended for ski in ski out
