Pension Kinrinko Toyonokuni

It's an old building, but it's clean and I liked that I could see Kinrin Lake 24 hours a day.

I also liked the hotel sauna that seemed to float on the lake.

If you failed to make a reservation at the ryokan you wanted, this is a great place to stay for a reasonable price. Advantages: 1. Relatively cheaper price than ryokan. Except for a few cost-effective accommodations, prices like this are rare. 2. There is a restaurant in the same building. 3. Kinrin Lake is right in front of the building, so you can see the lake right from your room. Also, I think the biggest advantage is that you can see it without having to go outside on days when there is fog. disadvantage: 1. It’s far from the station. If you have heavy luggage, I recommend taking a taxi. 2. Ironically, Kinlin Lake is right in front. Saying that Kinrin Lake is right in front of you means that there are tourists right in front of you. Not only rooms, but also public baths and even open-air baths can be accessed from outside. Rooms have curtains and public baths have opaque windows, but the open-air baths are finished by a wall that is lower than the height, so if you use the open-air baths during the day or when the sun is up, you need to have the courage to make naked eye contact with tourists. Please note that the side with an open-air bath has a women's bath on the day of check-in and a men's bath on the day of check-out. 3. Amenities are far away. In fact, normally it wouldn't be that far, just 10 minutes away, but the tourist attraction + countryside played a part. It was very dark with only sparse street lights, so using the flashlight function on your phone was essential. Although I wrote about the shortcomings at length, I am overall satisfied with the accommodation!

very good experience
