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.

I stay here a few times a year and always enjoy the calm, relaxing atmosphere. The Western-style meals are delicious, and the large public bath includes a continuously flowing barrel bath with pleasantly acidic water that feels wonderful after bathing. I’d love to visit again during the autumn foliage season.
