Hotels near Okutama

Relaxed and friendly

It was stunning. I love staying at these kind of places, it is so special. These are accommodations which are run by the families of ( former) priests of the temple. They live in the house too, but you don't see or hear them much. The house was stunning, I love the old architecture. The food they made was SO good and much, I was always full. If you do not like sleeping on futons, this is not an option for you. The view on shimmering tokyo was stunning. The room was big and had its own bathroom. The women shared hot bath was clean and nice to use. I have been treaded nicely and with respect.

This property was surrounded by breathtaking nature and the sounds of the rushing river below. It was so peaceful, the air and water were very refreshing and clean. The traditional Japanese style room and breakfast was a great experience but above all, the hosts were the best. They were super friendly and accommodating from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. We travelled with a baby and they helped us in many ways that I am so grateful for! We also loved their very friendly cats. The only regret is that we didn’t stay longer!

Lots of personality

I chose this facility because I was looking for a place surrounded by nature, where I could get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I wanted a place not far from Tokyo, where I could be alone in silence and where I could hike. Shomaru Pass Garden was simply the best choice I could make. I traveled alone by public transportation. On the day of check in, I arrived at Shomaru Station without difficulty, and I was expecting to hike up the mountain on a Hiking route (50-minute walk), but that day the road was closed for a few hours for extraordinary work. I called the owner of the Cottage, who was very kind and helped me right away to find a solution and call a taxi (I had no choice, the alternative walking was too long and difficult). On the day of check out I was able to hike and I really enjoyed it. So worthy! The owner is so kind, he greeted me with a smile and with whom I had long and pleasant chats. I stayed in the cottage weekdays & off-season, so I was the only guest. This allowed me to immerse myself in peace and silence, as I wished. However, I think the place is also suitable for lively occasions with friends and family, as there is everything you need to barbecue. The tables were nice and very large, and the communal terrace has a breathtaking view. As soon as I walked in my acomodation I could smell wood, so pleasant! Both bed and sofa are comfortable. The kettle, refrigerator, and paper cups were very useful for me, who was traveling alone without a car and was able to carry coffee and ramen to consume there. The bathroom is comfortable and clean, the water in the shower was hot and the mirror was large. Shampoo and body soap (no conditioner) are of very good quality, I was surprised by that. There is only one towel per person, which is a bit small. There are convenient reusable slippers. As amenities, I found toothbrush, hairbrush and razors.

Close to the station, nice breakfast

Mostly local Japanese people staying at this hotel. We got a bonus serving of delicious crab at dinner when they found out we were foreigners!

The staff is very helpful despite i can't speak Japanese. The room is very clean and all the amenities you need is provided

I liked the atmosphere of the common area downstairs, and the Japanese building style in general. Being close to the station and convenience store is also a big plus.

The facilities in the house are good and the owner agreed the extention of one hour in the house that was free of charge. I shall share my wonderful experiences with my friends and most probably will visit here again.
