very good hotel superb onsen super delicious food

It was a totally relaxing break in a busy holiday in Japan. The room was large with a fantastic tatami area with views of the lake on one side and farmland on the other. The onsen had an outdoor area looking onto the lake. We ate all our meals at the restaurant where there was a good Italian menu at excellent prices with wine by the carafe. Breakfast was great and very good values. We contacted the hotel via their website and they drove to pick us up from the station. They also dropped us back after checkout. We highly recommend this hotel.

The room was very large, with a tatami area that made our stay very comfortable. The sento (bath) was in a separate building -- it was attractive and very relaxing. It is open 6 am to midnight! One of the small hot-water soaking pools was outdoors (private), so you can see the sky. Plenty of towels. The breakfast was good, nicely served. The Western breakfast: omelette, three types of warm bread, nice salad, yogurt, coffee or tea. Plenty of food. Pleasant quiet setting.

The brown carpet was not attractive. There was no place to hang a towel. It would be helpful to have hooks on the walls for jackets, sweaters, etc. There is plenty of empty wall space. Expensive. We paid 26,000 yen.

The surrounding scenario was gorgeous, waking up to the lake view was spectacular. The breakfast was delicious and wonderfully prepared.

Few other restaurants in the area.
