its okey the hotel, they have petter rabbit all over the hotel and you can stay in the petter rabbit suit. the only problem is the location is in the middle of nowhere the food is way over price a salad was $25 and it was super small. enjoy the hotspring that was the best of the hotel.

A wonderful lake view from our bedroom didn't really make up for the tired state of the room. It was certainly clean and comfortable but the bathroom was badly in need of a major facelift. We only had an overnight stay and were glad we had brought food for our evening meal as otherwise we would have been restricted to... More

We stayed here for 3 days with family - and had a great time. The hotel's hot spring was the best part of our stay. The hotel staff were very knowledgeable about the surrounding area as well as other cities in Japan. The rooms were very spacious and the view of Mt Fuji from the 4th floor balcony was fantastic....

Use the hot thermal spa/bath often as free, and really great. Great massages theree too. Local bus stops at hotel and goes all ovr er the area... More

The room is extra large although We stayed in standard room. It is very clean and tidy as well. We love the "Onsen" a lot. It has indoor n outdoor and equipped with wonderful facilities.. Shampoos to leg massage machine.. Nice spa ;) To travel around hakone best to buy Hakone free pass ..

Went for a weekend getaway and was Pleasantly surprised. The hotel is really clean and the attendants were so accommodating. English was spoken here so it was very easy to communicate. The views were beautiful although we stayed on the mountain side I would suggest to spring a couple more dollars for the lake view. Restaurants close early so be... More

The spa. The only thing to add is that it is open 24 hours a day, and you are in the buff. No clothes are allowed. Free wi-fi is available in the lobby, but not in the rooms. My room did not have a safe, but I'm sure you can use the one in the reception area. Perhaps it is... More
