It provides a controlled and safe environment for individuals to practice skiing techniques and build strength and endurance specific to the sport. Ski simulators are commonly used by skiers of all levels, from beginners looking to learn the basics to advanced skiers aiming to improve their skills during the off-season.

Things to do in Shiga Kogen

Our family

For over five decades, the Sachinoyu Hotel has remained under the dedicated ownership of the Nakamura family, driven by a singular mission: to enhance the well-being of guests by providing a place for rejuvenation and global connections. In 1967, Masafumi Nakamura founded the hotel, capitalizing on the emergence of Mairuke in Shigakogen as Japan's first ski resort with a chair-lift. Masafumi's son, Mitsuru Nakamura took over the hotel's operation, kindling the passion for skiing in his children, Masaru and Shiho. Shiho pursued a career as a ski racer, while Masaru presently serves as the All Japan Ski Coach for Skiercross.

Today, the Nakamura family's unwavering commitment ensures that Sachinoyu continues to evolve into a place where individuals can cultivate a global network, find a new "home away from home," and contribute to the enrichment of the lives of all those connected with the hotel.
