Grand Mercure Yatsugatake Resort & Spa

On the way to the Hotel, we stopped by Yamataka Jindai Zakura and were moved by the cherry blossoms in full bloom as we drove through the mountains, but the entrance to the Hotel was hard to find and we ended up going into Kai-Oizumi Station. It was still light out, so it was fine, but I would appreciate it if the sign could be made a bit larger.The weather on check-in day was perfectly clear, and from our Room we enjoyed a wonderful view of the Southern Alps and Mt. Fuji.With stargazing and children’s play equipment, this felt like a very family-friendly Hotel. For just the two of us as a couple, it was a little too lively at times, but next time we think it would be fun to come with our grandchildren.We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner with a wide variety of dishes. The complimentary drinks included alcohol such as wine and whisky, which we also enjoyed very much.It became an unforgettable birthday celebration for me. The front desk staff were also very pleasant. Thank you very much.

I’d seen this place on Instagram and had been wanting to visit someday, so we came during spring break with our 4-year-old!From the moment we arrived at the Accommodation, the lobby felt so luxurious that my husband even asked, “Is this really the right Hotel?”Maybe because it was a weekday and there were vacancies, they upgraded us for free from a Classic Twin to an Executive Twin. The Room was spotless, refined, and spacious—our excitement instantly shot up!The play area goes without saying—our daughter was thrilled and played nonstop until dinner. She must have worked up an appetite because she really enjoyed the evening buffet.She usually doesn’t eat much meat, but it must have been delicious—she kept going back for more!We’re both in our 40s and even we went around three times! The desserts were great too, with a donut buffet and even making cotton candy—our daughter was delighted.We went to the bath around 8 p.m.; it wasn’t crowded and the water temperature was perfect—amazing! The only downside was that amenities (cleansing oil and skincare items) were only available in the large public bath area, so it was inconvenient having to go there again in the morning.All of the staff were kind, and our daughter loved being allowed to stay up late at the night lounge. On the drive home she kept saying she wants to come again, which made us feel it was well worth staying here! Next time we’ll visit again around summer. Thank you very much!
