The 5 additional Japanese hotels are rebranded Mori Trust properties that have been around for awhile and updated to Marriott standards.
I suspect this property will be very popular with the Thomas Train crowd.
I've already booked the one along Lake Biwa for next years cherry blossom festival (mid April) but would be interested in any FT reports on the other 4 properties especially that have ski opportunities as my go to Hilton Niseko seems to always be sold out and the Hyatt in the area is still in progress.

I'm planning to do either this one or the Izu one (or both ... depending on how tired I am) in early November, so I guess I'll be the first to report back? Or has anyone been?
