Amazing Breakfast Experience

The breakfast at The Forest Akan Tsuruga Resort was simply amazing. The variety and quality of the food exceeded my expectations, especially the freshly prepared tempura and sashimi. I felt that it was worth staying at the hotel just for this meal! However, make sure to wake up early to enjoy it, as the last sitting is at 8 AM.

Relaxing Onsen Experience

I thoroughly enjoyed the onsen facilities available at the hotel. Despite my initial concerns about the seating in the small bathroom, the experience in the onsen was rejuvenating. It was a highlight of our stay, and we ended up spending more time relaxing there rather than using our room's shower facilities.

Spacious Room with Beautiful View

The Japanese-style room we booked with a lake view was impressively spacious and beautifully clean. Waking up to that stunning view was a good experience. It was much larger than I had anticipated, providing ample space for us to unwind and enjoy our time there.

Fun Amenities for Kids

I loved that the hotel had a children’s playing room, which was perfect for keeping my little ones entertained. The space was well-maintained and provided a safe environment for them to play. Additionally, bike rentals were available, adding to the family-friendly experience we hoped for during our stay.

I stayed at this hotel hoping for a relaxing getaway, and while the lake view was stunning, the overall experience was quite mixed. The rooms were small and showed signs of wear, and I was really disappointed with the cleanliness of the bathroom. The dining was acceptable, but could benefit from more variety. Parking was a hassle, too, as it required a shuttle service to retrieve my car. Overall, there were some nice aspects but also significant downsides.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. While the room had a beautiful lake view and the traditional Japanese style was charming, I was really let down by the cleanliness and maintenance.
