We had an amazing time in our spacious Twin Lake View Room with breathtaking scenery and enjoyed the free shuttle bus which made getting around super easy. The pool was a nice spot to unwind after a long day. A relaxing massage is definitely worth checking out. Just a heads up, the fees for the outdoor pool can add up quickly, so plan accordingly! 😊

The highlight of my stay was definitely the spacious Japanese-style suite! The view over the lake was very nice, especially at sunset. Plus, the large windows in the room let in so much light. I loved the local convenience store in the lobby, making it easy to grab snacks. The free shuttle to the train station was super helpful for getting around.

Enjoyed a great group getaway! The free shuttle made it super easy to visit Kyoto and the nearby temples. Our spacious room had an amazing view of the lake. A convenience store on-site helped a lot, too. Definitely worth checking out for the location and amenities!

One downside was limited food options for vegans during breakfast. I could only find a few items like salad and fruit, which made dining a bit challenging.
