The hotel is nestled beside a national park on a serene lake, offering a tranquil escape but is slightly remote. The rooms boast a lovely view and are well-appointed, though the pricing could be more competitive. The service is top-notch, with excellent room service and a warm welcome drink. The dining experience with self-made foods is a highlight, though the gyu-don dishes may not suit all tastes.
I have just returned from a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and impeccably clean, and the staff was incredibly warm and accommodating. Although the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast options, the overall atmosphere was inviting and comfortable. The price was reasonable, but the Wi-Fi came at an additional cost, which was a minor inconvenience.
