Summer at Okushiga

クーラーいらずの夏がある。やまのまにまに

奥志賀で、くつろぐ、眠る。ただ、それだけでいい。
標高1,500m。しんと光る夏。テラスでコーヒーの香りに包まれる朝。
白樺の森にあそび、せせらぎの音に足を止める。
気づけば少しだけ眠っているハンモックの午後。
音楽と、温かな夕食にほどけていく。
クーラーはいらない。シモンズのベッドに、深く身をまかせる夜。
なにかを足すより、なにかを手放す時間。
この夏、やまのまにまにで。

Summer, air-conditioned by nature. Lodge Yama No Mamani.
Just relax. Sleep. That’s all you need.

1,500 meters above, where the summer glows in the quiet.
Mornings on the terrace, wrapped in the aroma of fresh coffee.
Wander the white birch forest, pause by the gentle stream.
Afternoons in a hammock, drifting into a nap before you know it.
Unwind with soft music and a heart-warming dinner.
No air conditioning needed—just cool mountain air.
Nights sinking deep into a Simmons bed.
It’s not about adding more; it’s about letting go.
Find yourself at "Yama No Mamani", this summer.

We had a great stay at Yama-No-Manimani lodge for 5 nights. The room was very nice and tidy, and we loved the cozy design. You can tell the owners paid a lot of attention to details and wanted the best experience for their guests. The food they offered each night was different and had 4 or 5 courses, such as appetizer, mains and deserts - all delicious. There is also an onsen which was a very nice experience. Overall, our stay at Yama-No-Manimani lodge was amazing and we recommend others interested to come too.
We had an absolutely amazing stay at Manimani in Okushiga. After travelling through Japan, this was truly one of the highlights of our trip.

The location was perfect! within just a few minutes walk you reach the ski lift, which takes you straight to the perfect slopes. The skiing here was incredible!

The hotel itself is small, cozy and incredibly welcoming. After a long day on the slopes, we especially loved relaxing in the wonderful private onsen.

What made our stay truly special were Masa and Maki. They are such kind and welcoming hosts and made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived.

The food also deserves a special mention, Maki is an amazing chef. As a vegetarian, it had not always been easy to find great meals during our trip through Japan, but the dinners here were without a doubt the best food.

Thank you again for everything. We truly hope to come back one day.
Couldn't recommend this place more! We had a lovely time staying at Lodge Yama No Manimani! Very personal experience at this lodge located just steps away from Okushiga Kogen ski resort. Ski Rentals also just steps away. Every detail in this quaint little lodge has been carefully crafted! Perfect ambience to add to our stay! The meals were prepped by the owner and his wife and were easily one of the best meals we had on our trip to Japan (specifically dinner). Breakfast was great and was a mixture of western and traditional Japanese. Onsen experience with time reservations for up to 3 people at a time to allow for privacy. Nice common spaces with snacks/drinks for purchase. Kitchen available for your use. There is local bus transportation available at certain times and taxi from Yudanaka station. Host is just a quick message away and is very accommodating and able to answer any questions you might have.
This lodge run by Masa and Maki is wonderful! Convenient location with ski rentals available in the hotel just across and only about 3 min walk to the lifts and from the bus drop off point. Clean and easily accessible drying room makes the whole experience smooth and keeps your boots warm in the morning!
The food is amazing, with a great buffet style breakfast every morning and option to have a healthy and delicious multi course dinner when available. Masa has great taste in music and always had vibey background music playing during dinner, he also allowed us to explore his vinyl collection!
We really enjoyed our time and will definitely stay at manimani again if we return to Shiga!
Thank you Masa and Maki!

Yama-No-Manimani is a delightful, cozy lodge that's a stone's throw away from Okushiga Kogen Ski Resort, making it the perfect spot for anyone looking for a homely, thoughtful experience. There's always some kind of music playing. The breakfasts and dinners were fresh and delicious. The rooms and bathing facility were clean, beautifully decorated, and smelt wonderful. Thanks Masa & Maki for the hospitality! My friend and I had a good time.

Of our 17 day Japan trip where we went all over the country, including Hokkaido, Lodge Yama-No-Manimani was the absolute best place we stayed. It was so incredibly cozy and welcoming. The hosts were wonderful, gracious, and spoke English very well. The food was sincerely the best we had during our entire stay. The dinners and breakfasts were an excellent home cooked change from the rest of the places we went. There were two private osens you could reserve during your stay; very relaxing. There was always some well curated music playing in the different rooms. A short walk from the okushiga kogen lodge and lift and an hourish travel to the snow monkey park. Just a note it is pretty far out and there isn't much around, so plan to be contained during your stay.

Masa and Maki, thank you for having us for the best part of our Japan trip! I don’t even know what to say about this place, everything was perfect, amazing food, breakfast and dinner, accommodating our dietary restrictions, amazing location right on the slopes with possibility to rent ski gears and clothes in the nearby hotel. Amazing private baths, clean, with a perfect smell of light essential oils. A room to dry your clothes and shoes and have them warm in the morning, the possibility to cook small stuff and have a coffee or tea in the shared room. We got the superior room and it was very clean and confortable, warm and welcoming as the owners, the music is perfectly chosen. This was paradise.

We felt like we had found our home away from home at Yama-No-Manimani. Conveniently located right on the snow at Shiga Kogen, in a gorgeous quiet setting, lovely hosts Masa and his wife Maki have thought of every last detail to make your stay comfortable. From the handy ski room as you walk in the door, to the cosy entry where you can sit comfortably while you unstrap your boots before you wander downstairs to one of two private Onsens. Delicious breakfasts and dinners are home cooked by Maki and served in their lovely light filled dining room. There is also a fully equipped lounge/kitchen/dining area upstairs, complete with a Nespresso coffee machine, and a fully equipped laundry and drying room downstairs. Last but not least, our cosy bedroom was a welcome sanctuary, at the end of a big day on the slopes, with floor heating and layers of doonas and blankets to ensure a good night’s sleep! We didn’t want to leave, but we will definitely be back again. Thank you Masa and Maki!

This is an absolute gem! Right next to the ski rentals, this bohemian lodge was such a treat. It has two onsens and the home cooked meals are chef’s kiss! The music is the perfect mix, also. I look forward to staying here again.
The lodge run by Masa and his family is immaculate - every part of it has been designed with intention. Dinner and breakfast service was also excellent, some of the best food we've had in Japan. Walking distance from the Okushiga Kogen lifts. Would definitely return!

This was the most comfortable ski lodge I’ve stayed at in Japan. Every detail is thoughtfully considered, making the entire experience effortless. From the incredibly convenient location—just a 3–4 minute walk to the ski lifts and the bus to Nagano—to the refreshments in the living room, high-quality toiletries, and well-appointed room fittings, everything exceeded expectations. Ski rentals can also be conveniently arranged at the Fenix Hotel on the way to the lifts. The lodge is also wonderfully warm, which made coming back from the slopes especially enjoyable.

We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to return!

This is the most comfortable and cozy lodge I’ve ever stayed in. My wife and I really love this place and would return in a heartbeat, and hope to do so someday soon.

Highly recommend to go for the dinner which you can feel is cooked with love, the food is extremely tasty and healthy.

If you are looking for a perfect place to stay in Shiga Kogen, look no further.

Thanks Masa-san and Maki-san for taking such good care of us during our stay.
Amazing dinner and the most lovely host!

We had a wonderful stay at Yama-no-Manimani.

Masa-san is a wonderful cook, and the drying room, bedrooms, baths, and amenities were all great.

The lodge has very easy access to the slopes.

We stayed at Mani Mani for 2 weeks and we had an enjoyable time there. The lodge is very clean, Masa San is exceptionally helpful and the food prepared on nights where you can choose to have dinner is delicious. The lodge has a shared guest space with kitchenette, where you can hang out and prepare light meals or have a drink. This was very enjoyed by us as the rooms are not large.

The rooms do not have an attached bathroom, but there is a wonderful and clean guest onsen / bathhouse for use which is private. As we traveled with 2 kids, we used it to shower the whole family at the same time

My only 2 areas of feedback for MasaSan are 1) in room onsen baskets could be useful for guests to transport our things up and down! 2) it would be good to have a slightly larger collection of food in house for guests to whip up on kitchen closure days!

My partner and I stayed here as our last stop on our Snowboarding holiday around the Nagano area.

Lodge Yama No Manimani is easily the best lodge we have stayed at in Japan. Masa is an amazing host, the breakfast and dinners were incredible and the lodge itself along with the rooms are so cosy and relaxing. I only wish we could have stayed for much much longer!
We had an amazing stay at Manimani! Masa-san is the ultimate host, and the lodge has unique and welcoming atmosphere with many thoughtful touches. Particularly noteworthy are the spectacular multi-course dinners which are Michelin-level and feature local ingredients in inventive combinations and suggested wine and sake pairings. Special highlights were the amazake shabu-shabu and homemade apple compote. The lodge provides an ideal base for exploring the Shiga Kogen ski area, and the ski rental in the nearby Hotel Grand Phenix is conveniently located.

This lodge was amazing to stay at, staff were excellent and in a good spot too. Food was incredible.
Dear Masa-san,
It has been a week since I left your place and I am still thinking how extra-ordinary it was!! Everything was at its place, organised, clean and so well thought through. My room was very comfortable - love the floor heating! The diners you cooked were amazing, great food and a full 5 courses menu every night - it was absolutely incredible!! I enjoyed how welcoming you were, your advice and friendship. Thank you SO MUCH for this experience, I would do it again in heart-beat. Special mention for your hifi system and collection of vinyls (who would have thought you could find this at Okushiga :-)), the dry room (which warms your ski boots for the morning), and the private onsens - I thoroughly enjoyed those. Honestly, if I could give you 6 starts, I would. Your place is THE place to stay at Shiga-Kogen. I hope I will come back soon. Sayonara, Matt
Best place to stay if you want a real Japanese experience.
Wow! What an amazing lodge! I am so glad we booked to stay here rather than one of the bigger hotels. Masa is such a wonderful host.
The rooms are perfect, comfortable, warm with everything you need including a fridge.
Communal kitchen, tv/lounge area with coffee machine & pods to use. We self catered for 2 nights easily.
The dinners in the lodge were delicious and the daily breakfast very satisfying.
The private Onsen bath - lifesaver! Absolute luxury every night.
Easy couple of minutes walk to the Okushiga lifts. A number of rental outlets also very close. Bus from Nagano comes right to Okushiga so very accessible.

And an awesome vinyl record collection to listen to!

We have found a gem in Shiga Kogen and will be back next year!
