First Time, Not Last Time

It was a large facility with a beautiful view of the lake. The view was even better due to the leaves changing colour. The hot springs baths were wonderful. The meals were spectacular as well.

Amazing view, great baths, comfortable rooms

The hotel is situated directly in front of the lake with magnificent panoramic views if you choose a room with a lakeside view. It is quite dated but very well maintained and the onsen is very enjoyable. I would recommend to eat dinner elsewhere but the breakfast is good. Minibar in the rooms are well stocked and perfect for staying in the room and watching the sunset.
