I feel like I struck gold with this hotel and got it at a really good price! Great location overlooking Chuzenji Lake, great for sightseeing (Kegon Falls, lake cruise, mount Nantai all really close) 5-10 mins walk from the bus stop. Lovely big room and nice yukata to wear around the hotel. Amazing facilities - really nice indoor and outdoor onsen, Lakeview lounge with free drinks (and hammocks!) a cute reading library and games area. I made a reservation for dinner and it was an INCREDIBLE 5 course feast for a very reasonable price I'm surprised they don't promote it more. The breakfast was also amazing, so I'd recommend adding it when you book a room.

    We loved this place! Large tatami room with futon beds (note that you will have to make your bed which is common in Japan). The common areas are wonderful with many places to seat and relax, or work (desks and tables). The shared kitchen was large and super clean with everything you need to cook. The onsite Onsen was fantastic! One indoor Onsen and one outside, which was amazing! Staff was nice and friendly.
