Wonderful hotel, everything we could ask for. Great room with view of the lake, private onsen, and comfy beds. Great public onsen, and access to a lounge for free breakfast, drinks and food throughout the day. Staff were great, including transfers to the local train station. All fantastic.

Service was excellent and the breakfast and happy hour was the best I have ever experienced in this price range. The only downside is the location on a hillside and the walk up the hill is pretty steep and not for anyone too elderly.

Beautiful views and at walking distance to funicular, the Ryokan was clean and had a gorgeous view of the lake as advertised. The Onsen were well attended, very clean and peaceful. The lounge was very nice, had plenty of food and variety. My only complaint is that the staff doesn’t inform guests of available tours - there was one tour available to stargazing and we did not find out until the next morning when we were leaving for example, they have no dinning recommendations and don’t seem too happy to come pick you up with the shuttle, kind of frowning and upset, they don’t even greet you.

Lovely place

Lovely place - very spacious room that felt super luxurious after Tokyo. If you don’t mind walks or bike rides, it’s a great location with wonderful view of the lake. Fuji is not visible but we didn’t mind going out to catch views on clear days. Onsen was wonderful. Also the breakfast buffet was good and varied and the cocktail hour hors d’oeuvres were reasonably substantial. Staff were helpful. The shuttle from train station does not operate in the middle of the day which was annoying because lots of people arrive from Tokyo then and we could not get a taxi so had to walk with our bags about 1.5km. If an issue for you, don’t arrive in this window. Better yet, the hotel will read this and change this policy :)
