This resort has an amazing location with a gorgeous view of Lake Hibara and Mt. Bandai, and the Five Colored Ponds. Their staff members are very formal and friendly and has a great restaurant buffet. The rooms and building itself are in okay condition with some scuffs and stains, but overall an excellent place with a very unique gift store with great items like food, snacks, and gifts. The traditional Japanese room is very nice

Overall pretty good resort that is unfortunately showing its age. Our room was rather small for a family style room (comparatively to other ryokans we stayed at for a similar price point) but very clean. Beautiful location but very remote if you don’t have a car. Shuttles to and from Inawashiro station made it easy to take day trips to other areas. Most of the resort’s amenities were also not open during our stay too. The resort supposedly has multiple restaurants but only two were open while we were there. The outdoor onsen is quite nice as well.

The best thing about the entire stay was the water pressure in the shower head. The decor is very dated. The living room area couch and chair smelled very musty. So bad I couldn't sit there long do to my allergies. My nose and eyes were actually burning from the smell. The buffet had a wide variety of items. It was good for what it is. If we ate more Japanese cuisine it would have been great.

The room was on the top floor overlooking the lake but the trees blocked most of the view. The size of the room was good and the bed was comfortable. It would have been good to have smaller pillows available in the room. I ended up rolling up a towel to make a smaller pillow. Meals were included in the stay and there was plenty of variety.
Only real bummer is that I think I left my Prescription Progressive Glasses in the room and can't get anyone to pick up the phones & check!
Insgesamt guter Aufenthalt an einem schönen Bergsee. Das Zimmer war sehr groß, hatte zwei Sessel und einen Kaffeetisch sowie einen Schreibtisch, viel Stauraum und ein großes Bad. Das öffentliche Bad ist auch groß und schön angelegt, vor allem der Außenbereich mit einem fantastischen Ausblick über den See. Wirklich klasse!
Das Essen hat ist geschmacklich super, allerdings gab es während unseres Aufenthalts ganz schön Gedränge. Hinzu kam, dass wir bei der Frühstücksanmeldung lange warten mussten, da die Rezeption nicht besetzt war. Der Preis fürs Abendbuffet lag mit 6000 Yen relativ hoch, aber das Essen war auch sehr gut. Alles in allem ein empfehlenswerter Zwischnestopp.
