This hotel looks out over the lake and some rooms have views of the snowed capped mountains.||||All in all one of the nicer Yukai Resort properties and the return bus trip from Nagoya costs only 3000 yen (This service is also available from...

The food was bentos for dinner and breakfast. The hotsprings were nice and hot. And the game center was open and absolutely an awesome place to spend time doing air hockey. And yes,...
