5 stars are not enough for the beautiful and charming Ryokan. My only regret is not staying longer. The room was delightful and the spa was superb.

Good for 1 or 2 nights. It is incinvenient to get up from the floor for everything when not used to it.

I had a reservation and they suddenly decided to cancel it without notification. We showed up only to realize they canceled our reservation AND there was no room for us. Luckily I found us another place to stay but we almost had to sleep out on the streets.

This is a small family owned Ryokan. They're all so lovely! All staff are incredibly friendly, the rooms are spacious & gorgeous too. Great value for money. Would highly recommend.

Authentic ryokan (inn-style) experience
Posted 15 Apr 2019 on HotelsBottom Line: May not be the best choice for a first-time Japan traveller, but an excellent value for someone with Japanese experience looking for a ryokan (inn-style, not as luxurious as other ryokans I have stayed in).
Things to note:
- I could see Mount Fuji from my bedroom window. It's so nice to wake up to a view of Mount Fuji.
- It is located close to the Kawaguchicko Station (walkable).
- There is easy access to popular restaurants and convenience stores (walkable).
- The entrance to the ryokan was hard to find (there is an access road to the front of the ryokan that is not on Google Maps, although the location on Google Maps is correct).
- The hosts do not speak English.
- You are expected to know some basic Japanese ryokan etiquette (taking off shoes at front, using bathroom slippers, public bath, etc.).
- You make your own futon for sleeping (English instructions were provided).
- Bathroom and shower are Japanese-style and communal.
- Remote control for air conditioning is in Japanese.
Overall, I think this place is a great value and I would stay there again.
