The room was new with a great view, and the service was excellent. Since I'm vegetarian, the hotel specially arranged a full vegetarian dinner for me that day. The breakfast buffet was also very rich. The hot spring felt ancient, but it was only indoors. My only complaint is that the lounge closed too early in the evening, so after a late hot spring soak, I had to go straight back to my room. It's a convenient ten-minute walk to Tsutanuma, perfect for catching the sunrise and morning glow.
The building and rooms were clean and very comfortable. The food was delicious, and the hot springs were included, so I had a very satisfying stay. After checking out, they even took me to the Yasumiya bus stop, which saved me the trouble of walking. I highly recommend this place if you come to Lake Towada.
