      “Maybe for a women's trip.”

      The food was delicious. The shuttle bus takes you to Tsuruga's hot springs, which is enough if you don't want to bother. However, the rooms were a bit cold and looked a bit dilapidated. There is a women's make-up room, which would be fun for a women's trip if not for the Corona.

      “Very good”

      Staff are friendly and helpful. Awesome view and fantastic nightly fireworks over the frozen lake. Unfortunately we only managed to book a smoking room which had very strong smoke smell even in the bath area which made our hotel stay rather uncomfortable.

      The room is small, with certain bad smell. Hot bath facilities, though available, appear inadequate. We enjoyed both the breakfast and dinner very much. Staff are also friendly and helpful.
