We visited after seeing it on Instagram, and it was even more fun than the Reviews and videos said—there simply wasn’t enough time in this Hotel. Especially for families with young children like us, it’s often hard to relax with a drink without relying on videos when you’re with kids who can’t sit still… But in the forest lounge with tatami flooring—where you can feel safe even if you take your eyes off them for a moment—our kids were absorbed in toys and puzzles, and we were able to enjoy draft beer from the beer server for about two hours. It was blissful time we haven’t had in ages. This isn’t just a play area to attract guests; they truly understand families raising children. The signature luxurious buffet at Grand Mercure was also excellent: steak grilled right in front of you, Shine Muscat grapes, a wide variety of international dishes, and even a cotton candy machine that made our kids’ eyes light up. Even after two nights, we never got bored—it was that impressive. In the Room you lay out your own futon, but considering the price I had no complaints at all. In fact, since no one comes into the Room, we could stay two nights without feeling self-conscious or needing to be considerate. We were more satisfied than at the famous Hotels around Lake Shirakaba. We’d love to stay again.

For vacations of two days or more, I choose a vacation rental rather than a Hotel or an Onsen Ryokan. From my experience with several rentals, prices and the quality of Facility management vary widely depending on the operator. This property is well maintained with no musty smell inside, towels can be replaced if you go to the management office yourself, the price is reasonable, and the area is quiet—I'd happily stay here again.

The facility was clean, and the Onsen was excellent. The Onsen includes an open-air bath and a sauna. When my husband requested to go for an early morning run before the official opening hours, the staff kindly accommodated his request. Breakfast was buffet-style with a satisfying variety of dishes. The warm simmered dishes and dried daikon radish were delicious, and there were plenty of drink options as well. The milk, likely from the local Yatsugatake area, was rich and flavorful. The autumn leaves around the Hotel were stunningly beautiful. I would love to stay here again!
