At the Shiga Grand Hotel in Ichinose, there’s “Hotecan,” where you can camp and have a BBQ on the terrace right beside your guest room. Enjoy the outdoor feeling empty-handed, and when you’re tired, head straight back to your hotel room. It’s a new way to spend a highland night at 1,600 meters, light and easy, taking the best of both glamping and a hotel!
An Inn That Answers “I Want to Camp, But Sleep in a Bed at Night”
“I want to camp. But at night, I’d like to sleep in a proper bed.” There’s a setup just right for people like that at the Shiga Grand Hotel, zero minutes’ walk from the Ichinose bus stop. It’s called “Hotecan.” According to the official website, it’s a hotel with an attached camping space that takes the best of both glamping and a hotel.
A Camp & BBQ Space Right Beside Your Room
Right beside your room is a terrace space where you can camp and have a BBQ, and the appeal is that you can enjoy the outdoors casually, empty-handed. Once you’ve savored a barbecue against the backdrop of Shiga Kogen’s magnificent nature, you can rest right there in your guest room, with no need to worry about the cold of sleeping in a tent or the trouble of setting one up. At 1,600 meters, Ichinose is cool in the mornings and evenings even at the height of summer, with a big temperature swing from the daytime, so the peace of mind of a “play hard outside, sleep soundly inside” arrangement should be considerable. It’s also a system with a wide entrance for families with small children, outdoor beginners, and anyone who has held back from camping until now.
Green-Season Plans That Let You Enjoy Highland Cuisine, Too
The green-season lodging plans include a condominium stay with a kitchen and unit bath, as well as a plan with breakfast (from 12,000 yen per night) that comes with freshly harvested nemagari-dake bamboo shoots (or a jarred version) as a bonus. Nemagari-dake is a mountain delicacy that represents early summer in Shiga Kogen. Combine the hotel’s attached outdoor space with cuisine unique to this land, and a little sense of the special is added to a day of your Ichinose stay. Details and reservations can be found on the dedicated Hotecan page.
Do come and taste a new pleasure of Shiga Kogen!
