We loved the hotel and the peace that you feel staying there; the outside onsen is a dream, and the view of Fuji-san is unbelievable. The dinning experience couldn't be better, each day was a different surprise, we loved our host called Ran, she was a trainee there, but to be honest she gave us the best service and recommendations, if you stay there aks for her service and definitely will improve your overall experience at dinning. Overall I loved, my only recommendation would be to have more entertainment for kis, other than that everything was great.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a beautiful stay. The facility is a little aged but it's been maintained well and the room views are phenomenal. The baths were clean and there was enough options that getting away from some of the noisier guests wasn't too difficult. In the morning I had the baths completely to myself and it was incredibly relaxing. Absolutely would stay here again. The only thing that was a downside to my stay was the massage. An older woman was doing the massages and it just wasn't good. She couldn't get deep pressure and there wasn't any attention paid to knotted areas. I had several massages while in Japan and this was probably the worst one.

Overall experience of 2d1n matched our expectations. They were accommodating to one of my family members’ dietary requirements. Because it was pouring, we couldn’t rent their bicycle to enjoy the surrounding. The facility is well preserved with tradition layout. One improvement, is to provide right instruction for hotel guests using the public bath. The public bath at level 1 didn’t have keys at its lockers. Can request the locker key from reception.

The property and the staff were excellent. However, the only complaint I have is the lack of pre-check in information. We did not know where the shuttle bus was located for pick up, or which train station the shuttle was at (or the pick up schedule). After missing the shuttle, we ended up using a taxi, which was quite expensive, rather than wait for two hours for the next bus.

Great location with lake views. We upgraded to a Japanese room with private onsen. Room was spacious (four of us). Facilities were also great but biggest let down was ventilation & mould on walls Not great for asthma sufferer. I raised this with the hotel who offered a small reduction on cost of upgrade but this doesn’t really compensate for the bad experience.. The hotel however said they would clean the mould properly next time.
