The renovated traditional building offers a modern Japanese-style Ryokan with friendly and helpful staff. The Onsen is available as a private bath, and you can use it anytime if it's vacant. There are three baths, each supposedly at different temperatures, but they all seemed to be the same temperature and quite hot. The much-talked-about breakfast was also delicious.

We stayed here for our ski trip. The location is perfect, right in front of the ski resort. While there are minor points that could affect ratings, overall we were satisfied. The Facility is undeniably old, but the service was good and the meals were as expected. One concern was the slight odor from the drainage in the washing area, which was unfortunate given how great the Onsen was. Also, the cheesecake is absolutely delicious!

This was my first stay in seven years, and the building had been renovated, making it a very comfortable stay. As it is a guesthouse, if you are sensitive to noise from neighboring rooms, earplugs may be essential... but overall it is a quiet Accommodation. Great value for money.

With a location right in front of Mt. Fuji, opening the curtains in the Room revealed a perfect view of Lake Kawaguchi and Mt. Fuji. A small wooden deck with a wooden table and chairs allowed for an amazing coffee experience while enjoying the view of Mt. Fuji. This scenery at this price is incredibly cost-effective. The Room was spacious and very satisfying. I will definitely return!

We stayed for one night starting August 28. After finishing the Hakushu Distillery tour, we checked in around 4:00 PM and enjoyed the garden BBQ from 6:00 PM. Everything was delicious—beef, pork, and seafood, as well as the yakisoba served at the end, salt rice balls, and even dessert—and we were completely satisfied both physically and mentally. The bath is available 24 hours a day, and the far-infrared effect of the stone tub warmed us through to our core. From our Room, we had a stunning view of Mt. Fuji—an unbeatable location. The owner was also very friendly; we enjoyed chatting with them and had a truly relaxing time. This is a pension we would definitely like to stay at again.

There were various restrictions, but considering it as a guesthouse-style Accommodation, it was a good stay. It is an Accommodation that helps guests re-recognize proper manners, and I feel it represents what such an Accommodation should be. Also, given the location, I was able to wake up pleasantly to birdsong. The meals were home-style and delicious. If I may offer one comment: I understand it may be difficult with the current style, but if the sense of cleanliness could be improved just a little more, it would be an impeccable Accommodation. I would like to stay here again when visiting the area. Thank you very much.

I stayed here after looking for a budget-friendly place at the last minute. The amenities were fine, though there were no towels provided. The breakfast toast sandwich was incredibly delicious, and I’d love to have it again. The family-run atmosphere, with small children around, made the stay feel very cozy and welcoming. The Room and unit bath were clean, so I had no issues staying here. One minor disappointment was that I expected a family bath based on the website but found it out of service. Also, since it's not an extremely hot area, there was no air conditioning; however, having at least a fan would have been nice for slightly warm afternoons.

Our group of five stayed for a Multiple Night Stay to go trekking at Jomon Sugi. The staff were very kind and helped us with various questions. Breakfast was also delicious. Thank you very much for your hospitality. We would love to stay again when we visit Yakushima.

I visited during a solo motorcycle trip. Since it was near a ski resort, it seemed off-season, so there were few guests, and I was able to relax and fully enjoy the Onsen. Although I chose a no-meal Plan, I received complimentary coffee and freshly baked croissants in the morning. The croissants were freshly baked and delicious. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

The Japanese-style Room was spacious and clean, allowing us to relax and enjoy a comfortable stay. The Onsen was excellent—at first it felt a little mild, but after soaking for about 10 minutes, my body warmed up and I could truly unwind.

From the hostess’s warm welcome to the stunning third-floor Room and terrace with exceptional views. The Room has windows on three sides. Open the door and you’re greeted by a view of Cape Shionomisaki. A terrace where you can enjoy both sunset and sunrise. Every dish was delicious—we ordered two servings each of the meat course and the fish course, and ended up overeating. I was a bit surprised that access to the Room was via an outdoor staircase I hadn’t expected, but once you come down the stairs, Cape Shionomisaki is right in front of you. If it had been raining, getting around might have been tough, but luckily the rain from the previous day had cleared, temperatures rose, and my mood soared too. The bath is not an Onsen, but while it shows its age, it was clean and felt well maintained. Another thing I loved was the “duvet cover.” It felt so nice that I want to find one for home—I wish I’d asked what brand it was. The Room itself was so comfortable, and it was great to just zone out while gently swaying in the hammock.

This Hotel is highly recommended for anyone considering a stay around Lake Yamanaka near Mt. Fuji. What I appreciated most was the free Shuttle Service from the Fujisan-Yamanakako bus stop to the Hotel. It is available between 15:00 and 17:00, and being taken directly to the Hotel after getting off the bus made me feel very comfortable even on my first visit. If you plan to use it, be sure to make a Reservation in advance online or by phone. The location is also excellent, and Rooms on the Mt. Fuji side offer a stunning view of Mt. Fuji right from the window—truly a highlight. Being able to relax in your Room while enjoying that view feels special. All of the staff were very kind, and it was impressive how attentive and pleasant everyone was, regardless of nationality. The overall atmosphere was warm, and I felt at ease throughout my stay. Before staying, I had seen in a Review that “the shower room is a bit small,” which made me slightly concerned, but in reality it was a unit-bath style setup and personally felt like an appropriate size. It was easier to use than I expected, with no inconvenience at all. I also added meals on-site, and the eel course was excellent—I was very satisfied. There were plenty of dishes included, which was especially enjoyable for an eel lover like me. With great views, location, service, and dining all well balanced, this is a Hotel I would happily choose again.

This is an Accommodation we stayed at every year after hiking since I was a child. As my mother got older, hiking became tougher for her, and during the COVID-19 pandemic we stopped coming (sorry), but recently we decided, “Let’s climb again!” and made a Reservation right away. There have been some minor renovations to the lobby and restrooms, but the exterior, Rooms, and baths are just as they always were. The staff has changed, but their warmth lives on—it was absolutely wonderful. It used to be packed with people, but this time there were only about 3–4 groups total over the weekend including us, which felt quite lonely. Still, that meant we could soak in the bath at our leisure and fully ease away the sweat and tired legs from hiking. Dinner was also very satisfying with many dishes—such as sweet-simmered fish that even I (someone who dislikes fish because of bones) could happily enjoy. There was also a great selection of snacks and alcoholic drinks. Breakfast is now bento-only, but you can eat it in the dining area or take it with you on your hike. I imagine running this place gets harder each year due to the building’s age and staffing shortages, but it’s an Accommodation I truly hope will continue for as long as possible—even if just one more season longer. We’ll definitely stay again!!

The ski slopes are immediately to the left as soon as you step outside the entrance, so it was great that we could change into our gear in the Room and head straight out. The Onsen was also very relaxing and enjoyable. The staff were wonderful—everyone greeted us with a smile and kindly answered our questions. The building is old, but it was clean and didn’t bother us. It snowed until early morning, then cleared up around 9 a.m., making for perfect conditions.

For the price, having access to the kitchen was very convenient. The Room was also spotless and nicely decorated, so I could relax and enjoy my stay. I also enjoyed talking with the owner. Thank you very much.

I took a short one-night trip nearby with my grandchild to enjoy the pool and the Onsen. Both were very pleasant and relaxing. The pool changing room had a musty smell, and I think it would be even better if it were renovated to be cleaner and more resort-like. If the poolside area were also updated with more of a resort atmosphere, it would improve even further, and I would likely visit more often. The dinner buffet was well thought out, and the appetizer-style dishes were delicious. I would also be happy to see tempura and sushi offered. The breakfast buffet had fewer options than expected, so I’d like to see a bit more variety and creativity. Overall, I was satisfied.

This was my first stay. Both breakfast and dinner offered a wide variety of side dishes and generous portions, which was great. The meat in particular was delicious. From the Room, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Sea of Japan. The bath is not an Onsen, but it is spacious, and morning bathing is also available. It was disappointing that the Accommodation did not have a refrigerator and only provided 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner.

At first, the building’s age made me wonder if it might be a letdown, but everything was very clean, the food was delicious, and the service was courteous. I was very satisfied. I’d like to stay again when I’m in the area.

Perhaps because it was before the Obon holidays, it wasn’t crowded, and we were able to enjoy the Onsen almost as if it were private, which made for a very relaxing stay. Although the water was clear and colorless, black mineral deposits formed in it, and it warmed us up wonderfully. The Room was well cleaned, the meals were delicious, and we were very satisfied overall. It was a bit disappointing that there is a step between the lobby and the elevator to the guest rooms. This is an Accommodation I would like to stay at again when visiting Fukushima.

This was my first trip to Chichibu and Nagatoro. The lobby was gorgeous, filled with green marble. The Room was luxurious, spotless, and wonderful. The restaurant had a great view, with Mount Hodosan faintly visible—truly spectacular. The food was exquisite, including a Japanese-style hamburger steak made without the four harmful ingredients and fresh sashimi. The large public bath was spacious and very clean. The water temperature was on the hotter side, which warmed me up and helped me relax. I also appreciate that you took photos for us at the end. It’s a Hotel I would love to stay at again.
