There are lots of hot spring hotels around Lake Kawaguchi. You can enjoy the beautiful, peaceful night views of the lake while soaking in an open-air bath. Definitely plan to stay here for a few days if you can.

Four Points Flex by Sheraton Kanazawa
Four Points Flex by Sheraton Kanazawa is located in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture. It is one of the brands operated by Marriott International, a global hotel company. It is conveniently located about a 7-minute drive from Kanazawa Station. The hotel is known as a place where you can enjoy a simple yet comfortable stay.
The space is on the compact side and it’s not really a resort-style hotel.
If you have large luggage, you’ll need to work out the layout a bit yourself.
Overall, the room feels clean and well kept. -
Toki no Kane (Time Bell Tower)
Although only about an hour from central Tokyo, Kawagoe offers charming historic streetscapes. One of the city’s best-known attractions is Toki no Kane, a prominent landmark rising above a street lined with traditional kurazukuri storehouses. The three-story wooden tower stands approximately 52 feet tall. Its bell rings four times a day-at 6:00 a.m., noon, 3:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m.-to mark the time.
Kawagoe's Little Edo has a charming retro vibe, and this is definitely the most eye-catching landmark.

Makuhari Messe
Makuhari Messe first opened in 1989, and it is an iconic Japanese convention center. The entire site is comprised of 3 facilities: Japan’s largest “International Exhibition Hall,” the “International Conference Hall” with 22 meeting rooms, and the “Makuhari Event Hall” that can accommodate up to 9,000 people.
I came to Makuhari Messe for an event hosted by a Japanese client.
This area is a newly developed subcenter, so there are plenty of places to eat, drink, and stay. There's even an outlet mall nearby for shopping.
