Urabandai Lake Resort Geihinkan Nekoma Rikyu

This was my third stay, following last year, with visits in June and July this year.With the cool highland climate, I have also made a Reservation for next month.The room was thoroughly cleaned and very tidy, so I had a comfortable stay.The staff’s service was generally excellent, though a few seemed to have some difficulty understanding Japanese.The Onsen private bath was clean and relaxing, and I was very satisfied.The food quality was high, with great ingredients prepared deliciously.It seems they had my previous stay on record from last month, and they thoughtfully ensured the menu did not overlap—an attentive touch that made me very happy. The portion sizes were just right, though younger guests might find them a bit small.One suggestion: the dress code at meals is smart casual, but as this is a Resort Hotel, it may be nice to allow dining in loungewear so guests can relax. Some airlines provide pajamas in first or business class on long-haul flights to help passengers enjoy meals comfortably. I would appreciate it if you could consider this.Overall, it was a very satisfying stay.

The building, front desk, and Room are luxurious and wonderful. The main building’s front desk is in the center of the building’s main entrance, so we mistakenly went there first; be aware that you may need to drive over to the Annex front desk on the far left. The open-air bath in the main building might be better since it has a lake view. The buffet was great, but next time I’d like to enjoy a full-course meal for a more indulgent stay. This is a Hotel I’d definitely like to visit again.
