Lake Saroma Tsuruga Resort

I recommend checking in early because the night view is beautiful! The food selection is extensive, and since most of the guests are Japanese, it was a quiet dining experience.

Located on the shores of Lake Saroma, facing west, this hotel offers excellent sunset views. The onsen (hot spring) is quite nice, with facilities on both floors, and the dinner buffet is well worth the price. The hotel has been open for a while, and there's a persistent issue with the ventilation units or air conditioning units experiencing low-frequency resonance. Luckily, I brought earplugs and wasn't bothered while sleeping; all three rooms we booked had this problem. The second-floor Japanese-style villas have traditional decor, outdated facilities, and small bathrooms, but the bedrooms are spacious and include a small terrace. I would recommend the lake-view rooms on the fourth floor. They're newly renovated, the showers are very comfortable (no need to step into the bathtub!), and the bedrooms are large enough to suit modern lifestyles.

The hotel is located by the lake, and the sunset views from the rooms are a major selling point. The beach is right outside the room, creating a lovely atmosphere. Breakfast includes freshly squeezed juice, and the restaurant is beautiful. Freshly toasted eggs are also available.

They were very flexible and the accommodation was great and the staff were very helpful.

The food was delicious and the hot springs were great. I'd love to go again. The location at Lake Saroma was also great. The staff were all very nice.

I visited in early June and stayed for 2 nights. It turned from sunny to cloudy that day. Unfortunately, I didn't see the sunset. The lake view was beautiful. It was very hot in the room that day. I turned on the air conditioner but there was no wind at all, so I opened the window and just turned on the air conditioner. The wind was not blowing in from the direction of the window and we were sweating all the time. We had to call the front desk to ask if we could change rooms, but the answer was no, even though we had just arrived in the room. The front desk said they could provide electric fans, so we used them for 2 days, but it was really hot and it was very difficult to sleep at night because the quilt and bed were thick. I kept sweating while lying on them, and my face and body were sticky and itchy. Yes, people coming in summer should pay attention to air conditioning issues. It would be better to go there in autumn or winter.

サロマ湖周辺では唯一のホテルということもあり、このエリアに泊まるならほぼ一択となります。鶴雅グループの宿らしく、全体的なクオリティの高さは安定感がありました。 建物の年数は感じられますが、館内やお部屋の清潔感・設備は非常に整っており、スタッフのサービスも何の問題もなく快適でした。レンタサイクルの貸出サービスがあるのも良かったです。なお、4階建ての建物ですが、大浴場があるフロアの構造が少し分かりづらい印象を受けました。 食事に関しては、オーソドックスで味も悪くありませんが、ボリュームは全体的に控えめです。他の鶴雅グループの宿と比べると、やや見劣りする印象を受けました。
