Situated within its own natural area overlooking lake shikotsu with a bird sanctuary nearby

Very warm welcome

Excellent location with views of Lake Shikotsu and we were there during fall foilage. They have bird feeders outside the dining area with binoculars so you can wait for the chance to see the famed Shimaenaga, we were unfortunately not so lucky.

The staff was very helpful, friendly and courteous, and most spoke English well.

Rooms were clean, spacious and the bath left my skin silky smooth. They had salt scrubs and different shampoo brands, and had after bath lotions, toners and serums.

The food and meals were great, shabu for dinner and the best croissants for bf. Lots of variety for the meals, so you won't get too bored after a few nights stay.

Note, rooms only have toilets / sink, no shower and bath. You have to use their bath, but I went a few times and it was empty.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of fresh option but the only problem is that the room doesn’t comes with shower . You will need to walk outside to take a shower which is inconvenient . Onsen was amazing .

Peaceful and quite

Happy to see the deers during dinner time! The place is serene and secluded. Housekeeping did their job to keep the rooms in spotless conditions. Buffet breakfast and dinner has lots of variety and restaurants staffs are friendly and helpful.

The environment and staff were wonderful, and I truly enjoyed my stay. Both the food and spring water were excellent. The resort even offers a nighttime star tour, which was a fantastic experience.

Nice bird watching area right at the restaurant
