Beautiful setting on Japan’s highest lake, over 4,000 feet above sea level. Classical Japanese architecture with spacious rooms, gorgeous views, delightful staff and great amenities.
Service was amazing and rooms were the size of a small apartment. Only gripe would be that the pictures on expedia make it seem like you have unobstructed views of the lake. However, the room we were given you can only partially see the lake as there is another building in front of the hotel.
Incredible, high class, quality accommodation and luxury cuisine. Kaiseki dinners were simply magnificent. Service was impeccable. Absolutely superb. Should really award 6 stars.
It’s a cozy place to stay. Very nice hot spring with only few people there in the winter. A little far from the station though, traffic is not that convenient.
