Shiga kogen is the largest ski resort in Japan. This is our 3rd trip here. The snow is magnificent. The pistes are great. We have stayed at both the west & east wings. Both conveniently located. Ski in & out. The Japanese are genteel and courteous. Service is good. Lockers are well located n added convenience. But the hotels are... More

East wing - 4 days in Feb. Rooms are ok & most of the staff were friendly, but there is only one restaurant, which is greatly overpriced, and poor quality. The set 5 course menu,hardly changed from night to night. No bar for drinks or snacks. We were very disappointed with this hotel.; the lack of choice and (even by... More

Four of us stayed for a week of skiing in January and thoroughly enjoyed what was on offer at the Prince Hotel East Wing. The issue - fairly minor - is what was not on offer.... The service, staff and facilties are superb. We can't speak highly enough of the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. While there arte those... More

We took a plane from Niseko to matsumoto and then a taxi (very expensive) but got us up to the mountains instead of having to stay a night below. We chose West wing, ski in and out .Best part of a hard day skiing is soaking in a meticulously clean hot spa with a creek running just outside which you... More

The East wing is the more upmarket of the properties. The rooms are more expensive but far larger and have a Japanese bath and shower as well a separate Western style toilet. The rooms are spotless and the beds very firm. 2 large queen beds in our room. The view of the slopes is tremendous but temperature control in the... More

We stayed in the East Wing of this hotel. The rooms are very large and comfortable with plenty of space to spread out. As other reviewers have noted, the views from the rooms are spectacular. The downside of this is the rooms getting lit up from about 4.30 am as the groomers go to work - bring and wear earplugs.... More

We stayed in the East-wing which was a mistake and we should have stayed at the West-wing instead. Overall all the 3 wings is ski-in/out however there are slightly better facilities in the West-wing than the rest such as the hot-bath, variety of food etc. The 3 buildings are not connected in anyways so you will have the take the...

We as a family of seven stayed at the Prince Hotel Westside Yakebityama at the end of January. Our rooms were all ready when we arrived at lunchtime which is always a bonus after an overnight flight from Australia. The rooms are small but clean and the beds comfortable ( Japanese pillows on the other hand need work !) The... More

I reviewed this hotel two years ago but have since been diagnosed with Coeliac disease. In shinjuku we were turned away from 9 restaurants in one night once I showed the gluten- free restaurant card. What a relief to come to the Price East. We had booked breakfast and dinner which was more reasonable than buying it each night. We... More
