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.

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel after changing our plans due to bad weather while camping. The hospitality from the staff stood out, and the buffet for both dinner and breakfast was fantastic. It was the perfect choice for our family as we visited the nearby hot springs, which are quite accessible. Although everything was good, we were hoping for a bit more variety in some areas and will plan to return for the hot springs experience.

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel after changing our plans due to bad weather while camping at Lake Motosu. The location is convenient, just a short drive from Motosu, and made for a perfect family getaway. The buffet for dinner and breakfast was excellent, and the hospitality from the staff truly stood out. I can definitely say this trip turned out to be the best option for us, and I'm looking forward to returning as it will now be a main plan rather than a backup.

We had a great experience at this hotel after changing our camping plans. The accessibility from Lake Motosu made it a convenient choice for our family. The breakfast and dinner buffet were excellent, and the hospitality really stood out. We would definitely return for a dedicated visit to the hot springs next time, though I'd say it's not ideal as the location is quite far from the main sightseeing spots in Tokyo.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel after an unexpected change in our travel plans, and I’m so glad we did! The access from Lake Motosu was easy, and the dining buffet for both dinner and breakfast was outstanding. The staff were genuinely accommodating, which made our family feel at home. I do wish the amenities were a bit more expansive, but overall, it was a great experience. We’ll definitely be back, hopefully as our main destination this time.

We had a wonderful time at this hotel after our camping plans changed due to rain. The family-friendly atmosphere and the excellent dining options made it a memorable stay. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the hospitality of the staff really stood out. However, it was a bit of a distance from more activities, but it was close to Shimobe hot spring, which we enjoyed. Overall, it’s a great option for a family getaway, not just as a backup plan.
