The large public bath is a natural hot spring. The interior is beautiful. It's far from the station, but if you contact the hotel by 5pm the day before your stay, they will pick you up from Tazawako Station for free. The buffet is interesting as it uses many locally produced ingredients. And yet the price is reasonable and it was great value for money! The negative points are: 1. The toilet and sink in the room are small, 2. There was no sea bream at the buffet venue, even though it was called "celebratory food," there were few vegetables, and the staff was not very communicative (foreigners. It's not bad, but I wish they would be more polite), and 3. The men's open-air bath is in a detached building and is cold in winter. I took those points off my rating.

Response from Property: Dear EA., Thank you very much for using our hotel and for sharing your valuable feedback. We are very pleased to hear that you were satisfied with our large public bath with natural hot spring water, the interior design of the hotel, and the buffet selection. We are also encouraged by the fact that you also praised the value for money. However, we do take the points you have pointed out very seriously. 1) Small toilet and sink in the room We apologize for any inconvenience caused. Due to the structure of the hotel building, some of the rooms have limited space, but we will continue to consider ways to improve our facilities to make your stay more comfortable. 2) Contents of the buffet We deeply apologize for the lack of sea bream in the "celebratory meal" and for the number of vegetable options not meeting your expectations. We will strive to create more creative menus that make use of locally produced ingredients so that we can provide meals that will satisfy all of you. 3) Regarding staff behavior We are sorry for the unpleasant experience you experienced with regard to our staff's behavior. We take your comments especially regarding politeness and language use very seriously, and will thoroughly train all staff to improve customer service. 4) Regarding the men's open-air bath We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the cold weather in winter. We will consider ways to ensure comfort when using the open-air bath, especially when it is located far away. We will take your comments into consideration and make further improvements, striving to be a hotel that can provide a comfortable experience for many customers. If you are visiting the Lake Tazawa area again, we hope you will use our hotel again. We look forward to seeing you again, EA. Kamenoi Hotel Tazawako Front Desk

This was my first time staying here. It's a quiet hot spring in the mountains and I think it's a nice place, but the hot spring and the facilities were older than I expected. The futon was thin and my back hurt the next day. I don't think I'll be back.

The hotel is old, but clean. The dinner is especially good, the seafood buffet is worth a try. The management is well organized, which makes people feel at ease, and the service is warm, polite and proactive.

This is the first time I have been tricked in many years of visiting Japan. I specially booked a 32-square-meter room in the main hotel building, but when I checked in, I was assigned a 22-square-meter room in the east building. When I raised an objection, the hotel refused on the grounds that the 32-square-meter room was fully booked. After that, all the front desk staff avoided answering questions. Moreover, the 74-year-old man had to carry a large box up to the second floor by himself.
Kamenoi Hotel should be a large hot spring hotel chain in Japan. It has lost its previous warm and responsible attitude towards guests. It really makes us disappointed and regretful.

Response from Property: Thank you very much for staying at Hotel Kameida Lake.
However, we sincerely apologize for this unpleasant stay.
I checked multiple booking websites and the hotel booked a twin room in the East Wing.
We are making adjustments to address this issue.

There are too many people staying in the hotel and it feels like there is insufficient manpower. The temperature of the hot spring in the public hot spring house is relatively high and I cannot enjoy it for too long. The scale on the floor does not feel very comfortable. It should be tidied up a little and the look and feel will be better!
Breakfast and dinner were so-so. You have to carry your luggage up to the second floor before there is an elevator, but the service attitude is very good!

Very spacious and comfortable Japanese-style room. There are indoor and outdoor hot spring baths. You can watch the snow scenery while bathing in the hot springs. The buffet dinner and breakfast are rich, and there is free ramen supply. However, the transportation is not convenient. You can go to the hotel and Tazawa Lake. The bus runs every hour

I didn't take the photos with my smartphone. Please forgive me.
I stayed in the East Wing, which was a little farther away, so it was cheaper.
The meals were served buffet style for both dinner and breakfast, and were served by Vietnamese trainees, but there were Japanese people there too, so it wasn't a problem.
The buffet had kiritanpo hotpot, Inaniwa udon, and Hinai chicken dishes. I think people who like Japanese food would be satisfied.
There was a lot of thought put into the facilities, and each room was given a cold water pot. There was apple vinegar in front of the large hot spring bath, and at night you were also given a small ice cream.
The hot spring was a normal hot spring, but it had a forest atmosphere and was fully equipped with a washing area. The open-air bath was just for soaking, but it was roofed, so it was fine even in the rain. The hot spring was a clear, carefully selected flowing hot spring containing sulfur, and it is said to be effective against skin diseases.
The local people working in the building were all kind. I recommend it.

During dinner, I found something that looked like a hair in my meal, and when I mentioned it to the waitress, she bowed her head, immediately took it to the kitchen and examined it, and responded quickly and explained things to me carefully. It turned out that it wasn't hair after all, but she apologized for making me feel uncomfortable. Even though I thought it was hair, she still bowed her head until the end. They were very accommodating.
I thought it was wonderful. Thank you very much🙇♀️

Maybe because there are a lot of foreigners, when I went to get the dinner buffet, someone else was eating at the table, the shower in the large bath was reserved and there was no place to wash, the water was dirty, when I moved to the open-air bath, there was a woman in the men's bath and she gave me a dirty look, and even though there was a changing room, I had to take off my yukata and slippers on the rocks in the open-air bath, so it was a mess. I would recommend it for Koreans and Chinese people, but for Japanese people, it's just stressful.

The hotel is relatively large and therefore confusing.
In some places it is showing its age.
