It’s almost flawless if they’d improve few things

Excellent location, very spacious room with excellent view of the lake. Staff were all nice and helpful. Food quality was good too. The yukata provided was way toooo long for Asian (even small size). It was too transparent and not soft enough. The lake area was rather cool but no “vest” to wear outside the yukata was provider. I couldnt enjoy the nice garden with my yukata… it was too cold. Besides, please consider to serve milk at the onsen resting room. It was my first time in Japanese onsen that no milk was provided. No matter it is free of charge to not, it should have it. It is just the culture and some customers like me would be expecting it. Except the milk and yukata….. it is almost perfect. We did enjoy my stay very much.

何もかもエクセレント

最上級のホテルに温泉が併設されている上に、お部屋のお風呂もとても素敵で驚きました。鉄板焼きのお食事も栃木産の農産物、畜産物が使われていて至極の美味しさでした。 部屋の設えホテル内の設えスパの設えどこもおしゃれで日光彫りや鹿沼の木工技術を使ったインテリアは工芸品の中にいるような、とても贅沢な時間でした。温泉も部屋付きのお風呂も何度も入浴し、最高のホテルステイを満喫できました。
