Hotels near Kamikochi

It is about a 20-minute drive away from the actual Kamikochi area. The staff members are very friendly. Dinner is a Kaiseki meal, and a foreign staff member enthusiastically explained each dish to us in detail, without rushing through the explanation just because we had a bit of trouble understanding English. The room is simple and clean. I booked a room with a bathtub, and soaking in it was very comfortable. I deducted one star because we repeatedly confirmed with the friendly front desk staff about how to take the bus the next day, but the bus schedule they handed us did not match the actual timetable at the bus stop. We waited in the cold wind and rain for a long time, only to find out that the bus never came. I hope the hotel can improve the bus information provided to guests. After all, the hotel's location is a bit remote, so they should provide guests with more reliable transportation advice. We were almost stranded and felt like crying at the time.
