The shared showers/onsen were a bit tired.

The attentiveness of the owner, traditional style room with great views of Mount Fuji.

Stayed in September 2025

No breakfast/dinner served. Toilets and sinks are not located your room and are shared between guests. Private onsen makes up for it.

Location was great. Located right next to Lake Yamanakako. Breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji. Service was great. Very accommodating. Plus you can also reserve your own private onsen.

Some corners of the room were quite dusty (aspecially behind the bed).

Very big room with traditional aesthetics and a balcony (I didn't get ot see it, but if you are lucky you should get a view of Mount Fuji). I wanted to experience a ryokan but not sleep on the ground and the room I chose had a bed as well as the option to sleep the traditional way. You only have a sink and toilet in the room, but get a private access to a very nice onsen once in the evening and once in the morning. The common areas are also very nice.

Fortunately there were only two of us because our Standard Family Room would have been really tight on space with anyone else. The double bed was only big enough for one person so the other person used a futon which was not particularly comfortable. Each room has a toilet but no shower or bath so everyone has to book a 40min slot to use one of the two available onsens either to shower or use the onsen spa bath. This requires a certain amount of forward planning each day which is a bit of a pain.

Stunning views of Mount Fuji directly out of the bedroom window. Friendly helpful staff and a lovely quiet , peaceful location. We found the onsen to be really hot, much hotter than other hotels we have stayed in. The hotel does not provide meals but there is a wonderful bakery/cafe 300m away to the south for morning breakfasts on a terrace. Overall, the hotel grew on us the longer we stayed.

The double bed in our room was the smallest and hardest bed I’ve ever slept on , the private onsen was a nice feature but be careful to assume that all rooms have showers as they are apart of using the private onsen.

The view of Mount Fuji from our room was brilliant.

A bit old and tired

Lovely scenery and big room, access to onsen and washer/drier

Stayed in April 2025

Shared toilet for a couple of rooms. No showers except for the ones in the onsen which means you need to time your sightseeing to go back in time. Not even a washbasin in the room to clean your cups in. Basement with table tennis and other things - cold, with moldy smell.

We had a room with great Mt. Fuji view - of course when it wasn't cloudy. Good contact with the staff. Quite close to Yamanakako lake - 10 minutes walk Bike rental service - cheap, bikes well prepared. Tennis table and billards table available for free. Clean and large onsen for private use.

Beautiful view of Mount Fuji from our bedroom. Very quiet and peaceful location. Loved the comfortable beds! The rooms were gorgeous and the robes they gave us made us feel special. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Loved the onsen! Convenient location in short five minute walking distance to public transportation, the lake, stores and restaurants.

Good location to enjoy yamanaka Lake. The bedroom was comfy, and the view facing the mount fuji was amazing. As it is an old house, the walls are not soundproof, so you must be careful not to make too much noise. You could even hear people next door snoring. Despite that, it's a good place to stay, and the onsen is really pleasant 😊 They don't provide food, so I recommend checking around to some delicious shop that provide good breakfast not far from the hotel ✨️

The view from mount Fuji in the morning from bed is what made it all amazing. The onsi is a great experience, but lower your expectations if you expect luxury.

Great location Fuji view from the window ! Only complaints are shared toilet which ok fair enough perhaps I forgot to spot and only one pillow

Only downfall would say not having shower in the room, that might be a bit inconvenient, but the lady explained us how to book ourselves the onsen, and it went great. Great japanese experience to live, so we would repeat for sure!

Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was awesome: views to the Mount Fuji, and we even saw some wild deers at night. What a view! It was a typical japanese room, very big and comfortable for the three of us (we were traveling two adults and a 2 year old baby).

Love the Ryokan experience. Our room has a balcony that has Mt Fuji view (depending on weather). The hotel backyard has a Fuji view as well. Room only comes with toilet n basin. For shower every guest has to book the 30 mins slot to use their onsen room with shower. They have 2 private onsen room. The room is comfortable n spacious n the bed was really comfortable. Optional futons are provided for those who wish to sleep on the floor. Staffs were very helpful with our luggages as our room was on 1st floor. Overall very good experience for us. Thanks to the staff for hosting us.

Mountain view

We cannot turn on the heater and have to be barefoot in the room that's cold!

The view is very good and could see the Fuji.

Stayed in February 2025

There is no elevator in this property, And we got a room on the second floor, so we have to carry our big luggage by ourselves. However, the staffs are nice, they helped us carry some luggages. There is no bathroom in the room. We have to use the private onsen for taking a shower and we have to reserve the time since there is only one private onsen. If you come during low season, that's ok. But we came during NY holiday, so lots of people were staying here.

The location is good, you can see the Mt. Fuji view from your bedroom. It's also near Yamanaka lake which you can take a photo with Mt. Fuji .

Room was crampy. Loft bed was almost touching the ceiling & bed was not made. Had to struggle to roll out the bed & put the sheets. Was a very uncomfortable bed.

Good Onsen.

Good location near the lake.Free parking but first come first serve.Friendly staff.There are private onsen.

Got a room with a shared bathroom, unfortunately, the walls to the corridor are paper thin and you can hear footsteps throughout the day and night of people walking to the bathroom door. It's also a fair bit away from the main road and hard to find so it's better if you have a car if its raining

Ryokan about 10 minutes walk away from the lake, they have private onsens where you can book. Owner/Staff were very helpful and nice. Its cheaper than options directly facing the lake or Mt Fuji

Having to use a shared toilet which was very confined.

Our first experience of staying at a Ryogan with an onsen. Everything was superbly clean and the views from the dining area was beautiful. We loved our overnight visit.
