Overview

Shiga Park Hotel sits in the Takamagahara Onsen area of Shiga Kogen, Nagano. Surrounded by the towering mountains of Joshinetsu National Park, this highland retreat welcomes you in every season. You can ski well into spring, enjoy hiking trails in summer, and take in the vibrant foliage of autumn. The location offers easy access by both car and train, making it a convenient base for your outdoor adventures.

In winter, you’ll find deep, powdery snow perfect for skiing and snowboarding. In summer, cool mountain air offers a refreshing break from the city heat. Whether you’re chasing adrenaline or quiet moments in nature, Shiga Park Hotel gives you space to relax and reconnect.

Accommodation

At Shiga Park Hotel, every room helps you unwind after a day in the mountains. You can choose from traditional Japanese rooms, Western-style rooms, or suites that combine both. Each room includes essentials like free Wi-Fi, a humidifier, a television, a refrigerator, a dryer, and towels.

Japanese Rooms: Experience tatami floors and a calm atmosphere.

Western Rooms: Enjoy comfortable beds and a cozy, carpeted setting.

Special Rooms: For something extra, stay in one of the suites like “Yukizasa,” “Shirakaba,” or “Kaede.” These offer more space, upgraded furnishings, and scenic views.

No matter which room you choose, the mountain stillness and soft futons help you drift into deep, peaceful sleep.

Dining

You’ll enjoy meals that highlight seasonal ingredients and the local flavors of Nagano. The ryokan serves carefully prepared dishes that reflect the changing seasons. In spring and early summer, you might taste mountain vegetables like the famous “nemagari bamboo shoots,” while winter brings warming hot pots and hearty local fare.

For breakfast and dinner, you’ll dine in a relaxed setting where mountain views complement the flavors on your plate. Some plans may include a buffet during the winter season, while others offer multi-course Japanese meals crafted with produce from the region. Every meal is designed to refresh you for the day’s adventures—or help you wind down after them.

Onsen and Wellness

After skiing, hiking, or exploring, head straight to the baths. Shiga Park Hotel offers large indoor baths filled with mineral-rich water that gently eases muscle tension and washes away fatigue.

You can also enjoy the outdoor rotenburo called “Unjo no Yu.” Breathe in the crisp highland air as you soak under the sky—there’s no better way to reset your mind and body. Separate facilities are available for men and women.

Guests with Tattoos

If you have tattoos, you’re welcome to use the private baths. To ensure privacy and comfort, please speak to the front desk when you check in so they can help you book a time slot.
