The property was amazing. We really were taken care of by the staff during our one night stay. I wish we would have stayed a couple more nights to enjoy the onsen which was very relaxing, especially having our own tub in our room to even further enjoy the relaxing experience.

Didn’t really feel like a spa hotel. Yes they have hot baths, but most people from the uk won’t want to go in naked. We used the bath on the balcony which was nice. Apparently there are massage chairs in the spa area.

We visited Japan for the first time and stayed for a month. We stayed two nights at this hotel. Wished we had stayed longer. We stayed in 4 star hotels and this one was by far the best. The cable car trip where you see Mt Fuji was the highlight of our entire Japan visit The food was outstanding. We celebrated my wife’s birthday with a special pass to the guest lounge that had an amazing view and complimentary wine and snacks.
