I stayed at Kasugai View Hotel. The free shuttle took me to nearby affiliated hotels, where I could enjoy their hot springs as well, so it was a great value. I could see the trains from my hotel room. A short walk from the hotel is Mars Yamanashi Winery Hombo Shuzo, where I was able to sample wine for free. Herb Garden Tabinikki Katsunuma Garden is also a short drive away. At this garden, you decide how much to pay for admission. The many flowers were soothing.

Keio Plaza Hotel Hachioji
The Keio Plaza Hotel Hachioji and its full array of 200 different rooms and styles makes it a shoo-in for all types of travel. It’s located at an easy and close location near both Keio Hachioji Station and JR Hachioji Station, perfect for heading in and out from the city center. Hikers and travelers from around the world love this spot as it makes a great base before taking the climb up the ever-popular Mount Takao.
I stayed at the hotel and enjoyed the buffet at Le Clair on the second floor for dinner. Since it was around Halloween, there were lots of Halloween-themed dishes. They were delicious and looked very cute. There was a variety of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes, and it seems the menu changes depending on the season. There is also a Hello Kitty photo spot.

Spa Resort Hawaiians
A Multi amusement facility with a hot spring for families and couples. Hot water is drawn from Iwaki Yumoto Onsen, which is at the center of the six theme parks along with a dance stage, an entertainment center, restaurant and hotel.
It's a very large facility where we enjoyed a variety of pools and hot springs. The stage show was especially wonderful. The building felt old. We stayed at the affiliated glamping accommodation, Mauna Village. Guests could use a free shuttle bus from Tokyo. The bus got stuck in traffic, so it's best to allow plenty of extra time.

Lake Yamanaka（Yamanaka-ko）
Lake Yamanaka covers an area of about 6.57 square kilometers and is about 980.5 meters above sea level. It is located at the third highest point in Japan. The lake is the closest to Mt. Fuji among the “Fuji Five Lakes " and offers beautiful scenery of the four seasons with the majestic Mt.Fuji.
We stayed at a hotel on the shore of Lake Yamanaka and enjoyed the beautiful scenery as it changed throughout the day. Early in the morning, we saw not only swans but also deer running powerfully.
