"Facilities: A bit old-fashioned but very clean and well-maintained.
Cleanliness: Very clean, even cleaner than Mitsui.
Environment: Having a balcony is amazing! The air is fresh, the scenery is unbeatable, and taking a walk by the lake during the day is simply blissful.
Service: The staff are mostly Japanese and don't speak English, but check-out was super fast and the shuttle bus was very punctual.
I hope to have the opportunity to return to this hotel again in the future. It has a large room, a balcony, is very quiet with few people, and the environment is exceptionally beautiful."
