Good points: Lake location, small services (welcome drink, night tour of hell)Bad points: Amount of dinner, inadequate facilitiesStayed in August, about 30,000 yen per night◾️MealsWelcome tea and canelé with smilesI was happy to eat in my room while looking at the lake, but the food was acceptable but average.Unfortunately, there was a large amount of steamed vegetables and meat, and I would have liked to have filled my stomach with something a little more elaborate.The breakfast rice is cooked in a clay pot and is the best.◾️Room/FacilitiesBasically it's beautiful.The view of the lake from the room was really nice.However, the visibility of the fence and concrete blocks was not very good, so I lost a lot of points for that...There was a lot of visual disappointment.◾️Hot springIt's interesting to see a large flock of swallows hunting in the lake in the evening.I stood up and kept looking.The facilities are normal. It's fine if it's a public bath, but it's a bit disappointing considering it's an inn that costs over 30,000 yen.◾️ServiceA night tour of hell is recommended! If it's sunny, you should definitely go.I can feel the spirit of welcoming people, but it's not to the point where I'm impressed. It's worth the price.Overall review: I would like to visit again in the evening to enjoy the view of the lake and feel the cooler breeze than usual.If there is no change in the dinner contents, I will not visit again.

It's large enough to accommodate company trips, but I was very surprised when I checked in. There was no one to pick me up, but three hotel women were sitting along the counter, talking with their backs to the entrance. I didn't feel any sign of our family at all, and one chubby person was shamelessly lifting his underwear over his skirt. The lobby is also on stage, so the lack of tension is inconceivable. Due to a sudden incident, the value of a prestigious-looking inn has decreased.The food and hot springs were okay.Of course, it would be better to consider training the staff without seeing them off when checking out.There will be no revisit.

It was luxurious and the staff was very friendly. However, please note that the food was average and the large public bath had good water and a good view, but was very small. That's really all you see in the photo on the homepage... ㅠㅠ If you go there, you'll immediately understand what it means.I chose this place because I thought the view of the pond in front would be beautiful, but I went there on a rainy day and the pond looked somewhat depressing haha.

This is a hot spring hotel where you can spend a relaxing time.The hospitality and reception from all the staff was wonderful, the hot spring bath in the large public bath with a panoramic view of Oshidori Pond was soothing, and I was impressed by the deliciousness of the dinner and breakfast.Enjoying the morning coffee from the morning bath while looking out at the Japanese garden from the entrance was also exceptional.Recommended for traveling with family or loved ones.

Used on honeymoon around early fall last yearOshidori Pond was dry and in a sad state 😢The food was very good, but it was an old inn, and the renovated rooms listed on the website were only on expensive plans, and the others were old, old, and spacious, which made me feel a bit scared...The hot spring felt very niceIt was a little difficult for young people
