First, this is an incredibly impressive location. A beautiful home with an incredible view of Mt Fuji. We booked only one night, with the Fuji room, but wish we had stayed longer and will come back next time we are in Japan. What a special place - we loved the tatami mats, the green tea served, the cleanliness of the inn and of course the senso/onsen. The host was genuine, helpful, kind and so, so sweet. This seemed like such an authentic experience for two people who had never been to Japan before, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Truly a highlight for our trip.

Amazing host, really kind. She gave us plenty of advice to visit the area or where to eat. Our traditional Japanese room was big, quiet, clean and nice with comfy futons. The bathroom was really beautiful and enjoyable. Thank you for this lovely and peaceful stay, it was the best of our trip in Japan

There were very precise rules on bathroom timing which were helpful as facilities were shared but it was a bit restrictive. To take a shower in the morning required a few and pre-booking. Bathtimes at night were generous pre-booked slots however.

The host was amazing. So enthusiastic, friendly and keen to make our stay memorable. The rooms were traditional Japanese rooms as was the house which was a great experience. The ability to hire bikes on site made our visit and we cycled everywhere around the lake.

The host was so welcoming and helpful. When we arrived, she helped us book a very early taxi for the following morning--even calling two companies to compare prices. We rented bikes for a very reasonable price to cycle around the lake. She also recommended a delicious traditional restaurant for dinner. The location is superb, quietly nestled behind the main street and with a stunning view of Mt Fuji. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. And the bath is just amazing. Highly recommend!

Took a bit to get there via train & bus from Tokyo. We walked everywhere, shops & food about 10min walk away.

It felt like a traditional home stay. The room was spacious & comfortable (even sleeping on the traditional Japanese beds on the floor). The bath was lovely. A relaxing stay.

The host family was extremely kind and helpful. After coming from Mt. Fuji they prepared us directly the onsen and the day after (due to a typhoon warning) they even accompanied us to nearby bus terminal. Thanks for the really great stay!

Shower time in the private onsen has to be booked. If you want to shower in the morning, there’s an additional charge of 500 yen. Toilet and sinks are communal for your washing up in the morning, though we didn’t run into anyone during our stay.

Quiet little ryokan; clean and cozy! It’s pretty near restaurants, convenient stores and the lake if you’re driving.

Very clean and beautiful relaxing experience

this is a home, so the walls are a little thin. we had neighbours in the next room who decided to chat rather loudly till 1+am and disturbed my rest as i was a little sensitive. no impact on my spouse who had headphones on.

we like that it is off the road location and therefore it was quiet. the futon were very comfortable and there were clear instructions to lay it on. host was very nice and it was a pleasant stay.

Amazing stay. The private onsen was always the highlight of our day. Room was in traditional Japanese style yet quiet and comfortable. The owner was so kind and lovely. We would definitely recommend to stay here for more than 1 night to truly relax and enjoy bicycling around the lake.

It was a little too cold in night time.

The staff was very helpful with everything. The rooms and bathroom were spotless. We had a great time during our stay. You can also see Mt. Fuji from the front of the house.

It is a bit difficult to get to after getting off the bus from Tokyo with all the luggage. Understand that every room has designated bath time, but it would be nicer if we could have a bit longer bath time to enjoy especially when it's cold.

The host is very friendly and helpful. She arranged the room with a Mt. Fuji view for us and gave us all the tips about the area. Rental bicycles are available and the quality of their bicycles is excellent. Cycling around the lake is the best way to explore the area.

Best place to stay in the area, very clean and nice room and hot spring. We are very lucky to see some deers outside the house.

We loved everything about it. So far our best stay in Japan!

The owners are absolutely lovely and welcoming. Our highlight was the daily bath time in the bath house. Every guest/group receives 45min. of private bath time and the bath house is absolutely gorgeous. Such a great experience 😍

It’s a traditional Japanese home with a very friendly and helpful hostess. The bedroom was lovely & well-heated. The 45 minutes booked in the onsen was a real treat. The property is really close to the lake and to plenty of restaurants and convenience stores. There is a facility to use a microwave & a kettle in a dining area in the house.
