I arrived at the hotel to find a stunning view and our bags already delivered to the room. The open-air bath and hot spring bath added a touch of luxury, although there was a slight hill to climb. Service was top-notch with room service and a welcome drink. The location was perfect for visiting Biwanko Valley for skiing, though a bit of a climb up a hill. The dining experience, particularly with Mediterranean dishes, was superb, albeit a bit costly. The facilities were well-equipped, making the stay incredibly relaxing.
