Chubu Mountain Vacations

Best Service ever. our 18 mths old child developed fever when we were on the way to the hotel. could not find any open hospital so we just wanted to try our luck to go straight to hotel and ask for help. they told us its better to ring ambulance when we arrived, also offered us to ring ambulance on our behalf, due to our limited Japanese. a manager (I assumed) even asked one of their staff to go outside to direct the ambulance on their entry. while we were waiting for the ambulance, they gave us ice pack to cool my child. Can't thank them enough for what they have done to our family.

Delicious and beautifully presented meals served by friendly and helpful staff. Scenic onsen- a lovely stay.

The hot springs were wonderful. There is a hotel around the corner that Okada shares use of the rooftop hot springs, and that is absolutely worth a visit. It was beautiful up there, albeit a little hard to find off the 8th floor side entrance and you walk up a hill to the other building. If you can spring for the room with the hot spring tub in it, def do that. We did this for our 2nd night there, and it was a big bonus to the experience. The rooms are great and the quintessential Japanese experience (at least it seemed so to us). The buffet food was great, but the price is very high per person. That was our most expensive meal of the entire 10-day trip. If we were to do it again, we’d have done the buffet once for convenience, but gone to a local restaurant instead for the 2nd night. Heads-up - even if you buy a beer from the vending machine in the hallway outside the buffet…you can’t drink it inside. We bought one from the machine and tried to drink it but got scolded like criminals even though we bought in the hallway. Maybe the restaurant is separately run, but just a heads-up. Don’t make the same mistake. They have a convenient shuttle bus that goes straight to the train station/center of town where you can get the Romance Car back to Shinjuku or a trains onto the Hakone Cable Car / Ropeway. We’d stay here again for sure.
