ski in ski out hotel at SunValley resort (the entrance of the Shiga Kogen ski domain) connected to other ski resorts of Shiga Kogen. Right outside the hotel, the SunValley offers various level of pistes including beginner, intermediate and advanced slopes to skiers.

We loved our stay at Biwaike hotel. The location is great. Ski in and ski out (a little flat, so you’ll need to skate/walk) to a lift that never had lines. It’s in Sunvalley, which is the side of the resort, so a very quiet area. You can ski across to the main resort area easily enough (one spot where you have to unclip and walk, a few other spots where you may have to skate depending on your ability). The hotel itself is a little dated but no more than any other at a Japanese ski village, and the rooms were very clean. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. We had breakfast and dinner included every day which was so lovely and made it a really unique and traditional experience. The food is varied and there didn’t seem to be an opportunity to request anything in particular, so we just rolled with it. The onsen was lovely after a long day of skiing. The beds were hard (obviously) but very comfortable!
We didn’t mind this, but generally it was quite basic in terms of amenities. It’s an old building, but clean and has everything we needed.

The staff and food where amazing also location was on a quiet side of the field with tickets and lift right out the front . Like 50m away. Food different every day and never left needing more.
I'm just not used to the hard futon beds on the floor. By Day 3 I was sleeping better, but still hard when your used to western beds.

Staff are very friendly, food is good and changes every day, rooms are big and comfy, hotel is ski-in ski-out and right next to the slope, has an onsen, everything is clean.
Its definitely old but most hotels in ski resorts in Japan are. I would stay again.
