Overall it is really an excellent hotel. Many of the rooms should be updated, but still they are adequate and spacious. The breakfast area can be busy, but there is a large adjacent room with plenty of space. The hotel staff were great. The onsen has a spacious indoor bath and plenty of washing areas. The outdoor bath is very pleasant, just be careful walking on the stone surfaces. The staff takes good care of the onsen and sauna. The location is good. You can walk to Nagahama JR station and the old town area is just beyond. The lake and the large beautiful next door park and castle is good for walking. There are not many restaurants open at night in central Nagahama, but you can probably find something.

The 5 stars is based on the Expedia value and I arrived after dark. With current exchange I paid $46usd for a standard double room. The property has blemishes but it was a tremendous value (even before exchange). My experience was one night and I didn't soak in the public bath. But the residents appeared to enjoy it. I would definitely look at this property again if I'm in Nagahama.

First I want to say so the staff were great and friendly. However the property is such in the 80's and not in a good retro way. From washroom, bedding and carpets, everything looks original to when this place was built. The only areas that looks upgraded is the lobby area, which is what u see in the pictures. But much to do in surrounding area and a kid of restaurants closed by 8pm. For an advertised "resort", they need to do a lot better. Keep driving to next town and stay somewhere else.
