Lake Shibayama Tours

Enjoyable stay in a good location. Breakfast at the hotel was presented beautifully, it is a full Japanese style breakfast though, oysters are a bit hard to have first thing in the morning but there servings are generous and there's always variety.

I cannot say enough nice things about this property. We had the private onsen. Everything in our room and the onsen was immaculately clean and smelled like cedar and cypress. Location was quiet and serene, and allowed us to relax and connect to the beautiful land around us. Dinner was one delicious and creative course after another, often featuring local ingredients harvested that day. The only thing better than the room and the food was the hospitality of our hosts. Everyone was welcoming, kind, and helpful. Nothing can match the experience of soaking in your own hot spring, while watching hummingbirds feeding on an overhanging tree. I hope to someday come back to Japan and visit onsen and Garden Nana once more.

Absolutely fabulous stay in Kocho, with particularly traditional ryokan with kaiseki dinner and breakfast. It embraces the natural greenery in the surroundings - constituting holistic experience that I have never had before.
