The hotel was nice and is situated in a beautiful setting. The days when we were there, the weather was good and views of Mt Fuji were spectacular at different times of the day. Food and hot spring baths were also good. One thing that was really bad was that when we were checking out, a clerk asked if we wanted to pay in Japanese yen or the US dollars, and I replied dollars thinking that the conversion would be the same or close to my VISA card. Boy, was I wrong. The conversion rate was horrible and they charged me a 5% mark up on top of the bad exchange rate. Had I payed in yen and let VISA converted, I would have paid about $2,600, but because Marriott converted, I paid over $2,800, the difference of about $200! A lesson learned. Just pay in local currencies when traveling abroad. However Marriott definitely should told me about the conversion/exchange fee.
