Spectacular onsen with beautiful views of mount Bandaisan. A bit more expensive to enter than most places ¥1580 bit well worth the visit. Very quite hotel even on the weekend when other places in the area are very busy.

We stayed here in July 2017, for two nights. We were two couples, and they placed us in one of the lodges on the second floor. Although the weather was a little warm, in the 80's during the day, our room air conditioner was excellent and kept us comfortable. This property is very beautiful, with a natural onsen that reportedly produces water at 140 degrees F. The view of the mountains, lake and forest from the onsen is magnificent. The lighting of the lake at night is striking and tasteful. There is a lovely hiking trail around the lake which the staff has taken the trouble to sprinkle generously with wood chips, to prevent anyone from losing his way and possibly to reduce muddiness. I can hardly imagine how much work this must have been, given that it takes about 30 minutes to complete the hike and that there is no vehicular access to this narrow winding path. Whenever there is a chance that one might go off the trail, they have erected little fences to show where the route is. The Morohashi museum is a short ride from the resort via shuttle bus. It was amazing to find a world -class beautiful museum like this in the neighborhood. It contains about 350 works by Salvador Dali, in addition to a lot of fascinating art by other artists. Our meals were delicious, served by attentive staff in the dining room with a lovely view of the lake and mountains. When I accidentally spilled some food on my pants and was wiping it off with a dry napkin, the waiter across the room immediately came over with a wet towel to assist me. Everyone on the staff was very kind and helpful. I hope to be able to visit this property again someday.…

We stayed here during the fall foliage season. A peaceful, beautiful setting among mountains and a small lake. The Onsen was spacious and very clean, as were the room. The libary is a wonderful palce to relax, drink coffee in the morning and browse the books in the afternoon. The restaurant dinners were outstanding. Some of my group ordered Japanese meals while others ordered Western meal. We were concerned that the western meal would not be enjoyable, but it was first class. Both western and Japanese meals were outstanding, as was breakfast. The service in the restaurant was very attentive for which we were grateful. This was an excellent hotel to relax, enjoy the outdoors, and the fall colors of the trees.
