This place is a little far from the town but on the from Fuji city you pass a lake where you can a beautiful view of mt Fuji. The hotel is excellent with activities provided. Service is great and onsen really very nice. Two separate baths for male and female. They switched around in the morning. Meals are buffet style. They provided a good spread.

This place is incredible, the onsens were great. We drove from Numazu and this was by far one of the most scenic drives we've experienced in Japan. The entire Fuji river valley is breathtaking. As sleepy as the town is, this hotel and staff make up for it all w/ food drink, drum show, mochi pounding, and even small fishing opportunity. We had our infant son with us the entire time and the staff loved seeing him every chance they got. There were a few members on staff that could also speak english. Dinner and breakfast were great, couldn't stop eating the ayu on a stick; it was sooo good. We walked over the melody bridge about 5 mins away, on the way is a small liquor store on the left, grab an ice cold beer to beat the heat!

大浴場・露天が広く洗い場も広く快適。湯温の異なるお風呂が複数あり飽きずに楽しむ事ができました。またスタッフによる和太鼓のパフォーマンスや餅つき、時間制限は有りますがフリーのアイスや飲み物のサービスもあり、ドリンクやアイスを食べながら雰囲気の良い足湯でリラックスでき満足度の高いお宿です。唯一残念なのは料金に対し食事の質は今一つと感じました。

ほぼ満足。

チェックインは、スムーズで対応も良かったです。 ラウンジでのアルコールとコーヒー類のサービスと足湯で、リラックス出来ました。 部屋は、清潔感がありました。 楽しみにしていた夕食は、バイキングで品数と量が少なく感じましたが、どちらかというと、高齢のお客様が多かったので、食べ残しを減らす取り組みの一貫なら理解は出来ますが、物足りなさを感じてしまい、期待していただけに、残念でした。 個人的には、揚げ物と肉食の品数が少なめだった。 朝食バイキングは、よくある普通のバイキングでしたが、きのこ雑煮が美味しかった。 温泉は、源泉かけ流しで湯量も多く、露天風呂は３種類が楽しめて、夕食後の入浴だったので、ほぼ貸切で楽しめました。
