There was not a lounge area for guests

The food was fantastic! Authentic Japanese dining room and food.

Stayed in February 2025

Our family room is big enough with toilet and sink. We put 2 layers of the tatami mattress. Shared bathroom is clean and hot. Japanese breakfast is good. If you dont like particular items, better get your favourite before reaching the hotel.

Such a lovely hotel with a great atmosphere and the staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. The Onsen was lovely at the end of a day's skiing. The food was traditional and delicious. They also hire ski gear, including clothes, goggles and helmet.

The only caveat is the hotel interior is a bit dated, but all of the other lodging options in Shiga Kogen are the same. The breakfast food was a bit light on protein on the weekday, but significantly improved on the weekend when more people came. The dining hall here was much cozier than the other hotels.

We had a wonderful experience at Sachinoyu, which we learned means “Happy Onsen.” We came in late January to ski in Shiga Kogen and would definitely like to come back again. We had friends stay at two different nearby hotels at the same time, but we would recommend Sachinoyu for the following reasons: - The Staff: they were all super friendly and helpful. In particular, there was a lovely lady named Evon who was fluent in English, Chinese in addition to Japanese and other languages. She was able to explain over chat how best to get there from the airport, and how to get around Shiga Kogen. Evon, thanks for all your help! We also liked the warm, family-run feeling of the place. - Shuttle Service: our friends at the nearby hotels had to take the public bus to get to the ski resorts and then back to their hotels. But Sachinoyu offered a much more convenient and flexible van service to take you to the nearby resorts and pick up in the evenings. (there are no local taxi’s in Shiga Kogen, would have to call one further away from Yudanaka) - Location: was centrally located between the Yamanoeki station (where you can enter the central Shiga Kogen ski fields) as well as the Kumanoyu and Yokoteyama resorts. With their shuttle service, we could get to any of these in 5 minutes.

It is a ways away from everything else. Beautiful location, but if you need to get something from the store it’s a bus ride down.

I felt at home here! Everyone was so welcoming.

Gorgeous location and extremely friendly and helpful staff. The hotel has a very homely feel and an adorable dog. They have everything you need, including ski rental. The hot baths gave a cosy, onsen vibe and we highly looked forward to it after a long day in the cold mountains. Overall, highly recommend. A really nice place to stay.

Lovely place in Shiga Kogen! The staff are phenomenal, so friendly and helpful! The onsen is great and so is the breakfast and dinner. Thanks for helping me organise my trip down to the doctors and back! You guys are amazing and have my gratitude

Nothing to fault really.

The host was extremely nice and helpful.

Stayed in January 2024

Nothing really. Just to point out that the Hotel is quite remote - no convenience stores or restaurants nearby, although if you want to visit other nearby places there is a free shuttle bus service that runs frequently up and down the mountain.

An awesome stay for 2 nights. On the day we arrived the snowfall had been quite intense we could not have walked with our suitcases to the property. It was great to have connection via Whatsapp as we were able to call & they sent a vehicle to collect us. Dinner on both evenings was awesome - so much variety & fabulous presentation. Amazing breakfast aswell. Ma'am Nakamura just such a friendly & welcoming person, nothing was too much trouble for her. She helped us with all of our local and onward travel arrangements. Great option to have the use of the Onsen after coming in from the cold. We would certainly return.

Nothing to dislike

Onsen was brilliant and staff were very helpful in collecting us from and delivering us to the bus connection. Food was interesting and varied

Public bath area aren’t very clean most of the time, there are lots of hair at the sink area day and night. Ski clothing and equipments for rental are very basic for the price compare to what you can get from the shop. It’s sufficient if you only need it for a day or 2. I got a pair of glove that is so stink I doubt they ever wash anything after each rental :(

Lovely guest house run by the Nakamura family. They have everything you need for a short ski trip. Free shuttle to Kumanoyu or Yamanoeki station where you can connect to other ski resorts in the area. Food is lovely with different varieties everyday.

We had a fantastic stay at this Sachinoyu The hotel is run by an exceptionally friendly, kind and accommodating family - they helped us with absolutely everything we needed which made our time in Shigakogen such a good experience. Great location close to the Kumanoyu and Yokoteyama resorts. The hotel offers a shuttle service which made getting to and from the slopes extremely convenient for us. We were also able to rent ski gear from the hotel which again made everything hassle free for us! The onsen was such a treat after coming back cold from skiing! Not to mention the gorgeous lavender toiletries that helped us to unwind and relax! Beds are super comfortable. The food was great - it is very clear that the staff put a lot of hard work and effort into each meal. They were also very accommodating with my dietary requirements.

A super cosy hotel with staff that were super friendly and accommodated to all of my needs. They provided me with a delicious meal in the evening and even offered to shift breakfast earlier than their usual time to accommodate for my early check out.
