Book a hotel near Lake Shirakaba, Nagano Prefecture

"If you're looking for an onsen experience this is the place! We were welcomed as we drove up the windy mountain road to the hotel. The check in experience was calm and efficient. Dinner, breakfast and private bath times chosen. The baths are wonderfull, overlooking the river and with views down the forested valley. Dinner and breakfast were amazing, although our kids sadly didn't feel adventurous enough. It was a truly magical experience on our first trip to Japan."

"Very good"

"Ok"

"When I reserved the Suite Room through Expedia, the check-out time for this special room was 11:00 a.m. However, when we checked-in at the facility, the from receptionist instructed us that 10:00 a.m. was the firm check-out time, no exceptions. My wife was feeling ill, so a later checkout time would have been much better. The Dinner buffet restaurant seating was extremely slow, even though we had a time reservation. Breakfast buffet seating was even worse. We had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. We wanted to play table tennis, and we asked 3 different times throughout the evening; however, we were told that the tables had already been reserved all through the evening hours. Each time (4 times) that we physically checked, no one was using the table tennis tables. There were 2 tables, both unoccupied all 4 times that we checked. Terrible service!"

"We were made to feel so welcome here and would love to stay again. The hosts were wonderful, so friendly and made this an unforgettable stay in an incredibly beautiful location. Would highly recommend!"

"Excellent hotel service and scenic frozen lake view, big living room for cooked food and great spa experience"
