Reviews and Ratings
We had a wonderful time at this hotel after deciding to switch from camping due to the weather. The location was easily accessible by car from Lake Motosu, and staying here turned out to be an excellent choice for our family. The buffet for both dinner and breakfast was fantastic, and the hospitality of the staff truly stood out. Although it's not too far from Tokyo, we see this place not just as an alternative but as a destination in itself for our future trips.
