We loved our stay at Hatago Nagomi. First, the staff is amazing. Everyone is helpful, from getting situated, advice on transportation, cleaning, dinner and breakfast service, across the board excellent! And not just one or two people, everyone.
The room was a great size and the balcony looking over Lake Chuzenji was beautiful. The view is where it’s at. The rooms have comfortable beds and are very clean. Other than that, fairly basic. But most importantly, comfortable.
The hotel has its own gender segregated onsen. The onsen is small, but a great way to relax each evening. They provide all of the clothing, towels, and bathroom supplies you will need each day.
Breakfast is good and will definitely fuel your day. But dinner is phenomenal! They are multi-course and will definitely fill you up. My favorite was the Shaba Shabu meal on night three.
This hotel is not sparkling and new. However, it has many updates, friendly, very clean, you can do laundry, great food, and gorgeous surroundings.
