Maruike Hotel

Staff were super helpful and even managed to work out gluten free meals.

Its basic, the heating in some part of the hotel weren’t working. There was nothing wrong with the hotel but its very simple accomodation

After all of negative reviews here I was a bit sceptical. But everything in dormitory was clean. It looks like short time after renovation. Lots of space for your luggage, two towels and flippers included. There is very nice onsen, could be hotter, with outside view. Great location right next to the slope. WiFi in the room (weak) and in the restaurant. There is slackline in the hallway, billiard and some board games. Ski storage room with lockers.

Literally walk out onto the slopes from your accommodation!

Had everything you need, private toilet, not a far drive from all the other resorts

The showers were inoperable therefore had to use the hotel onsen which is not private, restaurant was not open and no other food options nearby

Great location when it comes to ski. A not too used lift is just at the exit of the restaurant of the hotel. It's on the mountain so at night it keep this vibe. The village with food truck is 10 min walk and the main visitor center from this resort "Maruike Area" is also 12 min walk. Onsen in the hotel to relax 24/7 open. It has this vintage 90's vibe typical of the Japanese resorts. Also the game room is complete with a warm atmosphere and many boards games, billards, darts, sound system and a bar.

The food is not tasty and expensive. And you don't really have a choice as there is no restaurant or bar open in the area of Sunvalley and Maruike. All the hotel of the area recommend their guest to stay in for diner because except some food truck there's NOTHING. Don't expect after ski if you come to Japan, just come for the snow and that's it.

Close to Shigakogen yamanoeki, only 10mins on foot. Good food. Go for their breakfast/lunch/dinner set. The fish in the breakfast was amazing. Wholesome food. It energized us to do Snowboard all day. The ambience is nice. They have nice warm lights in the dining area. The lounge room is fun! In the night, you can play darts, pool, your own music. The onsen is also nice. Everything is very clean. Its a complete experience. Go for it.

Wet friendly staff and comfortable bed.

No sleeping wardrobe. Expensive for ran down facility.

this place rocks

Shower didn’t work

Really convenient location with the bus to/from Nagano as well as other stops located right outside. There’s also a lift right outside that allows you to connect to the wider Shiga Kogen resort seamlessly. There’s a ski rental facility on site but if you prefer to rent elsewhere, there’s a larger ski rental place a 7 min walk away. Comfortable rooms and onsen. Great food too :) thoroughly enjoyed my stay with really hospitable staff
