Excellent stay here with my family in early Jan - Lots of lovely countryside to explore especially the lake. Pros - Excellent Staff in Restaurant as well as hotel itself, free shuttle down to the lake, free saki at NY. Cons - very small bathroom, beds are futons and very hard in some cases. long wait for breakfast in morning and log wait to check-in. Needs to be an airport shuttle as well - we had to pay exorbitant private car costs to airport - Otherwise would stay again, great views of Mount Fuji and great location.
