Spacious room but not for couples
The room was spacious, food variety was good. Nothing much in the immediate vicinity, it was a nice place but mostly for group tours, not for couples.

Nice resort facilities
Unfortunately I was stuck with a smoking room, which smelled..well as you'd expect. Ignoring that, it was clean and comfortable. The room was decently spacious given the price. Faciltiies were good as it is a resort hotel. Being Urabandai, they aren't that ready for international tourists so some basic Japanese would go a long way.

An OK place to stay, safe and clean but dated
Overall the stay was ok. They had free hot tea which was great when it was so cold out, but the room was very dated. Also, (just FYI) the hotel staff doesn't speak much English and you need a dinner reservation if you want to eat at the hotel- becides a little restaurant near the back of the hotel (which was good!)

Cigarette
Chambre d'hôtel qui pue la cigarette.
Intenable !
Personnel sympathique, mais qui ne trouve pas de solution.
Reste à dormir fenêtre ouverte,malgré le bruit.
Hôtel à éviter...pour les non fumeurs.
