Sun Valley, Maruike, Hasuike & Giant Accommodation

If ski-in/ski-out Shiga Kogen accommodation is your preference there are some great value properties here. Beyond the skiing and having an onsen at your hotel, there is very little to do in this area and there are negligible public restaurants. All the hotels have restaurants serving breakfast & dinner as a minimum. Be prepared for a very Japanese experience at most of these properties and don't expect western customs and facilities.

Sun Valley is the lowest of the Shiga Kogen ski areas and this is not an ideal place to stay during the fringes of the season due to the possibly of minimal or poor snow cover. An advantage of these locations is easy and fast bus access to the southern ski areas, the snow monkeys, and Shibu Onsen.
