Karoake is Just One of This Ski Hotel's Priorities

Where: Ichinose, Nagano , Japan, 381-0401

For a mid-range ski-in ski-out hotel in the Shiga Kogen area near Nagano, the Hotel Sunroute Shiga-Kogen seems to fit the bill. It's next to lifts and right near a ski school too, and is easy to reach by bus from Nagano--it takes an hour but the bus stops right outside the hotel. So, bus in the front, ski out the back, then limp back for the night to enjoy Western style hospitality.

But the Western style hospitality the hotel is so proud of does (fortunately, we think) come with a few Japanese touches. Standard room amenities include a yukata (Japanese bath robe), a hot spring towel and a tea set, and a karaoke room is, of course, a very important fixture of the hotel facilities. The hotel modestly claims it is "probably" the best mid-range property in Shiga Kogen.

If that doesn't tempt you, then the view of the mountains should.
