This hotel was the highlight of the 4 hotels that we stayed in during our two week visit. We had a very large room (double twin) that allowed us to open up our suitcases. Room was clean, smelled fresh, had a beautiful view of the stream and maple trees changing colors. They provided yukatas and slippers to wear around the property, which most other people wore to breakfast and dinner. The property was recently renovated a few years ago and is very nice. The breakfast and dinner buffet was insane. I think we got our monies worth on just the sushi, waygu beef and alcohol (all you can eat and drink!) There is something for everyone in you party. The room was quiet until someone would be talking (usually the rude ones from vachina) while walking the hallway. We booked a private onsen one night and that was magical for our tired bodies. The only way to get around the area is by bus, unless you have a car or package tour. The bus was very crowded (PACKED!) round 10:00 when we went to Lake Ashi/Odawara. It was very cold and rainy (mid November) so pack a heavy jacket. We did laundry again at this hotel (do 'smaller than what you think' loads or it won't dry). There is a indoor pool across the street as well as a Family Mart. Not much else in the area. I would definitely recommend this property.

Perfect exept the buffet
Everything was perfect except for the organization of the buffet. The architect made a big mistake there. The aisle between the buffets is far too narrow. Hardly two people can cross each other. This is why there were various incidents. During our four-day stay, at least five things fell to the floor because the guests were bumping into each other. For us, this was an imposition. It's a shame, otherwise everything would have been perfect.

Very pretty and organic style hotel on beautiful grounds with wandering paths, koi pond and running brook. The staff was professional. The onsen was clean and the outside baths made for watching the sunset a real treat. Highly recommended! We will be back!

Couldn’t find our reservation and when they finally did, didn’t fix the issue properly so was an ongoing issue. The door to the room wasn’t sealed properly so let air through and made a whistling noise.

Amazing
Sleek, modern and beautiful, yet still accessible for families. Dinner was amazing with many Japanese delicacies, and the breakfast buffet was also wonderful. The private onsen for our family was worth the small fee. Across the street for the main onsen experience put this experience over the top.
