"Shiga Kogen Lodge" is a hot spring lodge nestled at the foot of Yokoteyama in Shiga Kogen, Yamanouchi Town, Shimotakai District, Nagano Prefecture, where you can fully enjoy nature and the outdoors. The hot springs feature an open-air bath fed by 100% natural source water with free-flowing water drawn luxuriously from the high-quality spring at the foot of Yokoteyama, as well as a large public bath with active stone hot spring water that warms you right down to the core. The sauna is a full-fledged wood-burning stove-style "mountain sauna" surrounded by the great nature of Shiga Kogen. With swimwear required and shared by both men and women, you can create your own ideal level of humidity and heat with self-löyly. A cold plunge bath with free-flowing water drawn luxuriously from Shiga Kogen's exceptionally pure natural stream water is icy cold yet astonishingly smooth, and the premium forest air bath, where you soak your whole body in the refreshing highland breeze, is truly one of a kind.
A luxurious blessing poured into the open-air bath overlooking the rich forest, fed by 100% natural hot spring source water with no added water and no heating. It warms the body deeply from within and wraps the skin in a soft, moist feel. Together with the active stone hot spring in the large public bath, it offers the ultimate refreshment for everyday fatigue and sports fatigue.
A full-fledged Finnish-style sauna with a wood-burning stove, standing quietly amid the lush forests of Shiga Kogen. The crackling sound of the firewood and the gentle flames help keep the room comfortably humid, and when you pour water onto the sauna stones for self-löyly, the rich aroma of wood and waves of heat and steam fill the entire room. Swimwear required.
