They, the staff, exceeded my expectations . Courteous, helpful, kind and pleasant are words that I would use to describe them. Everyone greets you with a bow and civility, right down to the hardest workers in the hotel. For that, i will surely come back. My stay at the Prince Hotel East was worth every yen and then some. I originally was suppose to stay at the Sunvalley Hotel, in Shiga Kogen. I lost my reservation there due to payment issues. I was hesitant about coming to the Prince Hotel. It was my first time. The room i stayed in was probably one of the best i have seen for the price. The next time I am in Shiga Kogen, i am staying at the Prince Hotel East, without a doubt.

We visited the hotel for a ski trip and loved it all! All three buildings are ski in / ski out, have rental equipment and lift tickets available on site, and provide a great launching pad for a great ski experience. We stayed in the west tower and enjoyed the onsen and multiple on-site restaurants. Would definitely stay again!

How to go to Shiga Kogen Prince Hotel from Airport

Getting from the airport to Shiga Kogen Prince Hotel can be a breeze with a few different options. Whether you're looking for the fastest route or the most budget-friendly one, here's a breakdown to help you plan your hotel transfer.
  • Taxi (Most Direct):

    A taxi from Narita (NRT) or Haneda (HND) airport will take you directly to the hotel. However, this is the most expensive option, with fares easily exceeding ¥40,000 (approximately SGD 400) and a journey time of around 4-5 hours depending on traffic.
  • Airport Limousine Bus & Train (Most Common):

    Take the Airport Limousine Bus from either Narita or Haneda to Nagano Station. From Nagano Station, transfer to the Nagano Dentetsu Line to Yudanaka Station. From Yudanaka Station, take a local bus to Shiga Kogen. The total journey time is around 4-6 hours, and the cost is approximately ¥8,000-¥10,000 (SGD 80-100).
  • Shinkansen (Bullet Train) & Bus (Fastest):

    Take the Narita Express (N'EX) or the Tokyo Monorail to Tokyo Station. From Tokyo Station, take the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Nagano Station. From Nagano Station, take a local bus to Shiga Kogen. This is generally the fastest option, taking around 3-4 hours, and costs approximately ¥12,000-¥15,000 (SGD 120-150).
  • Ride Hailing (Potentially Convenient):

    While ride-hailing services are available in Japan, their availability in the Shiga Kogen area might be limited. It's best to check availability and pricing beforehand. This option could be costly, similar to a taxi.

Tips:

The most convenient route is usually the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Nagano Station followed by a local bus to Shiga Kogen. This offers a good balance of speed and cost. Consider purchasing a Japan Rail Pass if you plan on doing a lot of travelling by train, as it can save you money.

Rooms are dated but reasonably clean. I would describe the room as adequate. Buffet breakfast is a must as there’s no easy alternative. The variety of the food was good but the temperature of the hot food was always luke-warm. Dinner was a mission unless you want to spend $50 or $100 (AUD) per adult for buffet dinners at the respective wings. The clothes washing facilities free, but were atrocious. The dryers are not fit for purpose, which seems to be a theme in other reviews - take note and don’t wash anything you don’t have to or you’ll be spending hours monitoring the dryer. Don’t use the “60” setting as this doesn’t actually dry anything. The location is beautiful and access to lifts etc is amazing. Stay on the west wing if you want ready access to the kids play area. Beds are comfy - better than other “nicer” hotels I’ve stayed at in Japan. It’s a picturesque location and we enjoyed ourselves but it’s budget accomodation with no frills. As a suggestion for improvement, it would be nice if they provided bottled water ever day like every other hotel in Japan. Staff are friendly and helpful. Ski rental was easy if you book in advance. Thank you for the stay.

Limited selections of breakfast, same daily. Hotel guest with tattoo is ban from using the hot bath - many big ski in/ski out hotel allowed guest with tattoos to use the hot bath in recent years, no biggie but would have been a plus after a day of ski. We were given the 4 single bed room for our family of 3 (2 adult + 6yrs old kid). The bed was tiny with no rooms to turn. Overall ok decent hotel but would try out others next time.

We were here as a family of 4 (west) - with 2 teenagers. It was a nice introductory place to ski lessons. However, the rooms are old and dated and very basic. There is a very long corridor to get to the rooms on each level, so if you end up being at the other end, you will need to walk down a long hallway to ge to your room. It wasn’t an issue for us, but if kind of felt like school dorms. Staff don’t really speak English and it can be a bit tricky. But they have quite a few international staff working there, which helped, as we really don’t know what we were doing… so having people that could speak English when hiring the ski equipment and clothes helped a lot. A word of advice for anyone staying here. The restaurants are very expensive and not that great. There’s the overpriced buffet, Chinese restaurant and ramen bar. They are only open at certain hours. And there a bar that serves mostly drinks and kebabs. So if you are wanting a snack or something in between meal times, you are stuck with the vending machines and very limited snacks they have in the souvenir shop. Very isolated. If you are coming via Shinkansen and you get off at Nagano - stock up on what you need there - snacks, food, drinks - there’s a grocery store downstairs and shops around the station, including a 7-11. You can also catch the shuttle bus to Ichinose - and get some things from the little convenience store there. There’s a few more restaurants there too, but the shuttle buses start at 5pm.

We stayed in the South building. The staff are incredible. Attentive and professional. Food and service was outstanding. Room was small but comfortable. So good having ski in ski out. Godala at the door and we were lucky it snowed and we had good skiing in mid Dec. Only thing I would have changed was to book the 3 bed room for a bit more space and views over the ski field. Bus from Nagano Station was easy to catch with luggage.

Great skiing lodge- ski in/out to slopes. Restaurant served excellent food however it was the only option available during our stay (end of March) and it was expensive and really not suitable for very young children. Also only one shop open with limited food options. Not so great for very small children- we could have purchased supplies to bring in if we had known. Ability to go to other parts of resort limited at this time in the season, Staff were very helpful.

We found our stay uneventful. I have stayed at this hotel 4 times over the years and it doesn’t change so it is quite dated. There are new doonas on the beds but they are too thick for the heated room. Also, no descent lounge areas for relaxation. But, the hotel has a fantastic location and dining room.

Spent 4 nights and was very satisfied with my stay. The breakfast and dinners were buffet style in a large cafeteria, with a very nice selection of different options each day. The semi-enclosed hot bath (gender segregated) was nice, though the view is restricted only to the very top of the tree line. The ski rental shop staff were very friendly and helpful, and the the facilities were nice. The ramen restaurant was great! Apart from the bath, there was really nothing to do, since the hotel is isolated, but that was to be expected. My only criticism is that there was no gym, which would give people another option to pass the time.

I originally was suppose to stay at the Sunvalley Hotel, in Shiga Kogen. I lost my reservation there due to payment issues. I was hesitant about coming to the Prince Hotel. It was my first time. The room i stayed in was probably one of the best i have seen for the price. The next time I am in Shiga Kogen, i am staying at the Prince Hotel East, without a doubt.

Ok hotel. A little dated. Location is not ideal as very few options for dining. Skiing location is great, which is the main thing !

it was an ideal location to go snowboarding or skiing. Our room was ready when we got there and we arrived a few hours early

Entire property has been neglected. This seems to be the norm in Shiga Kogen. Not clean at all. We cut our stay short because the hotel was intolerable. For the price they should do much better.

Rooms are dated but reasonably clean. I would describe the room as adequate. Buffet breakfast is a must as there’s no easy alternative. The variety of the food was good but the temperature of the hot food was always luke-warm. Dinner was a mission unless you want to spend $50 or $100 (AUD) per adult for buffet dinners at the respective wings. The clothes washing facilities free, but were atrocious. The dryers are not fit for purpose, which seems to be a theme in other reviews - take note and don’t wash anything you don’t have to or you’ll be spending hours monitoring the dryer. Don’t use the “60” setting as this doesn’t actually dry anything. The location is beautiful and access to lifts etc is amazing. Stay on the west wing if you want ready access to the kids play area. Beds are comfy - better than other “nicer” hotels I’ve stayed at in Japan. It’s a picturesque location and we enjoyed ourselves but it’s budget accomodation with no frills. As a suggestion for improvement, it would be nice if they provided bottled water ever day like every other hotel in Japan. Staff are friendly and helpful. Ski rental was easy if you book in advance. Thank you for the stay.

Limited selections of breakfast, same daily. Hotel guest with tattoo is ban from using the hot bath - many big ski in/ski out hotel allowed guest with tattoos to use the hot bath in recent years, no biggie but would have been a plus after a day of ski. We were given the 4 single bed room for our family of 3 (2 adult + 6yrs old kid). The bed was tiny with no rooms to turn. Overall ok decent hotel but would try out others next time.

We were here as a family of 4 (west) - with 2 teenagers. It was a nice introductory place to ski lessons. However, the rooms are old and dated and very basic. There is a very long corridor to get to the rooms on each level, so if you end up being at the other end, you will need to walk down a long hallway to ge to your room. It wasn’t an issue for us, but if kind of felt like school dorms. Staff don’t really speak English and it can be a bit tricky. But they have quite a few international staff working there, which helped, as we really don’t know what we were doing… so having people that could speak English when hiring the ski equipment and clothes helped a lot. A word of advice for anyone staying here. The restaurants are very expensive and not that great. There’s the overpriced buffet, Chinese restaurant and ramen bar. They are only open at certain hours. And there a bar that serves mostly drinks and kebabs. So if you are wanting a snack or something in between meal times, you are stuck with the vending machines and very limited snacks they have in the souvenir shop. Very isolated. If you are coming via Shinkansen and you get off at Nagano - stock up on what you need there - snacks, food, drinks - there’s a grocery store downstairs and shops around the station, including a 7-11. You can also catch the shuttle bus to Ichinose - and get some things from the little convenience store there. There’s a few more restaurants there too, but the shuttle buses start at 5pm.

Our room has beautiful mountain view. It is convenient to hire ski in the hotel. We mainly focus on Yatebi, Ichinose and Okushiga areas. They are all linked so we don’t need to take shuttle bus.

We stayed in the South building. The staff are incredible. Attentive and professional. Food and service was outstanding. Room was small but comfortable. So good having ski in ski out. Godala at the door and we were lucky it snowed and we had good skiing in mid Dec. Only thing I would have changed was to book the 3 bed room for a bit more space and views over the ski field. Bus from Nagano Station was easy to catch with luggage.

Great skiing lodge- ski in/out to slopes. Restaurant served excellent food however it was the only option available during our stay (end of March) and it was expensive and really not suitable for very young children. Also only one shop open with limited food options. Not so great for very small children- we could have purchased supplies to bring in if we had known. Ability to go to other parts of resort limited at this time in the season, Staff were very helpful.

We found our stay uneventful. I have stayed at this hotel 4 times over the years and it doesn’t change so it is quite dated. There are new doonas on the beds but they are too thick for the heated room. Also, no descent lounge areas for relaxation. But, the hotel has a fantastic location and dining room.

Spent 4 nights and was very satisfied with my stay. The breakfast and dinners were buffet style in a large cafeteria, with a very nice selection of different options each day. The semi-enclosed hot bath (gender segregated) was nice, though the view is restricted only to the very top of the tree line. The ski rental shop staff were very friendly and helpful, and the the facilities were nice. The ramen restaurant was great! Apart from the bath, there was really nothing to do, since the hotel is isolated, but that was to be expected. My only criticism is that there was no gym, which would give people another option to pass the time.

A bit over priced, no place to really relax and lounge around apart from the bar which did not have comfy seating vs the lounge areas in many of the other local hotels. On snow access is good and easy access with their bus to the other local Spots

We visited the hotel for a ski trip and loved it all! All three buildings are ski in / ski out, have rental equipment and lift tickets available on site, and provide a great launching pad for a great ski experience. We stayed in the west tower and enjoyed the onsen and multiple on-site restaurants. Would definitely stay again!
