Yuzanso Reviews
Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: This is a traditional Japanese Onsen and you have to be willing to go with that. The actual public bath is amazing and none of the children cared that it was naked only. The swimming pool is also great, the whole place was very quiet when we were there which probably helped as there was very little seating by the pool which could be a problem in busy times. The breakfast was traditional too and, if you're western and not willing to try new things could be a downside. My wife and I embraced it and it was as delicious as it was unusual! You can order a western breakfast (pastries/bread etc.) at extra cost.
There is a free shuttle bus service that takes you to the station and back in about 7 minutes allowing you to explore along the western shore of the lake which is beautiful.
Negative: Generally speaking, the charging for extras was a little annoying. This was the most expensive hotel of our trip (a little luxury to finish up) but it felt like they wanted to charge for everything. Our children found some inflatables by the pool and were playing with them before being told there was a hire fee. We asked for just a slice of toast for the kids for breakfast but they wanted to charge us for a whole 'western breakfast' for each of them.
Summary: Interesting and relaxing.

Positive:
Absolutely insane place. Ive never been to a more welcoming, luxurious place. So comfortable, amazing open air baths, yukatas, all toiletries & phenomenal view of the lake. The souvenir shop is fantastic, and the restaurant they have downstairs opposite the souvenir shop served some of the best food and drink we have had in Japan. Hands down the most incredible place, their breakfast was very traditional Japanese style too that we got included with our package. They have a large public onsen, karaoke room, library, terrace & kids room. Please, if you want a proper Japanese style stay in the most boujee way possible, do yourself a favour and book a room!
Negative:
Nothing !!!! Loved it so much!
Summary: Heavenly stay, would come back in a heartbeat

Positive:
The experience was nice. The food was really good and the customer service was excellent.
Negative:
The private onsen was a little small. It needs to be a little bigger where you can fit like 4 people atleast. This was for one maybe 2 people which was sad.
Summary: Excellent idea and great customer service and good. The private onsen needs a little work but all in all a great experie
