Prachtig gelegen aan het Kawaguchi meer.
Pros:

Het ontbijt. Grandioos elke ochtend weer. Super behulpzaam en vriendelijk personeel en zeer praktisch een shuttlebus naar het station.

Cons:

Tikkeltje ‘run down’, maar je kijkt er makkelijk overheen.

Nice stay.
Pros:

The tatami room was comfortable for our group. The breakfast was amazing, very extensive. The location was convenient for sightseeing, walking distance to the lake. The bath was nice with view of Mount Fuji. They even had a Japanese bathrobe for kids. On our last day they brought us to the station even though it was afternoon already and there is no shuttle to the station at that time. Nice surprise.

Cons:

Before we left we saw a centipede in the room. Everything is quite outdated, but it was acceptable.

Pros:

Le personnel est très accueillant et prévenant (presque trop lorsque l'on est pas habitué). L'hôtel est à côté du lac et proche de zones permettant de louer des vélos. Il y a un observatoire permettant de voir le Mont Fuji en haut de l'hôtel et on peut aussi voir le mont depuis les bains publiques.

Cons:

L'hôtel est ancien et est resté "dans son jus". La moquette de la chambre n'était pas de première jeunesse et un peu tachée (malgré avoir été certainement nettoyée). La salle de bain et la chambre était un peu petite mais la présente d'un canapé (particulièrement vieux aussi) et d'une table prenant pas mal de place n'aide pas. Finalement cet hôtel a surtout pour lui sa localisation mais sans plus comparé à d'autres hôtels que nous avons pu faire au Japon.

Un bel hôtel au bord du lac
Pros:

La proximité du lac et de la gare routière. La possibilité de pouvoir louer des vélos et de faire des ballades autour du lac pour admirer le mont Fuji. Le petits déjeuner "à la japonaise" valent le détour.
