Shiga Kogen Olympic Hotel

Discover the slope side retreat at Shiga Kogen Olympic Hotel, ideally located in the vibrant heart of Ichinose Village, Shiga Kogen. With true ski-in/ski-out access just steps from the Ichinose Family Ski Resort and nearby chairlifts, the hotel is a convenient and welcoming base for skiers and snowboarders exploring Japan’s largest ski area. Recent upgrades to the hotel’s public spaces, including the lobby, lounge, and restaurant areas, have enhanced the overall guest experience while preserving the property’s long-standing alpine character.

With comfortable accommodations the hotel offers a range of non-smoking rooms in a mix of traditional Japanese tatami-style and Western-style layouts. While the rooms are clean, comfortable, and functional, they retain a more classic design reflecting the hotel’s heritage from the 1980s and 1990s and have not yet undergone full modern refurbishment.

Bathrooms are compact Japanese-style unit bathrooms, where the bath, shower, toilet, and sink are contained within a single molded unit, similar to those found in many older Japanese hotels. These are practical and well maintained, though more compact in size than modern hotel bathrooms.

Each room includes a flat-screen TV, wardrobe, yukata robes, and heating. Many rooms also enjoy scenic views across the surrounding Shiga Kogen slopes and mountains, offering a peaceful alpine outlook.

Dining is enjoyed in the hotel’s bright, recently updated dining hall with mountain views. Buffet-style breakfasts and dinners feature a generous selection of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes, typically offering over 20 items. On weekends, live cooking stations such as steak and tempura add a lively touch. Ichinose Village’s local noodle shops and casual eateries are also close by for lunch or après-ski snacks.

Guests benefit from free WiFi, complimentary parking, ski storage, and rental services. The hotel’s refreshed guest lounge with bar, gift shop, and spacious banquet facilities make it well suited for groups and ski clubs. Friendly, attentive staff are a consistent highlight, ensuring a smooth and comfortable stay.

After a full day on the slopes, unwind in the hotel’s 24-hour onsen hot spring baths, an ideal way to relax tired muscles and recharge.

Located in the heart of Shiga Kogen, the Olympic Hotel offers immediate access to the Ichinose Diamond slopes, known for reliable snow and varied terrain. Let us at Ski Japan Holidays help you make the most of your stay in this iconic alpine destination.
