A lovely property set in pretty surroundings, with Mt Fuji visible from the breakfast table. I’m so happy to have stayed here, it was a lovely place to return to at the end of each day. The room was comfortable, with heating / aircon, a fridge, TV, wash basin and toilet. Although the bathroom was shared, don’t be put off by this. I didn’t have a problem accessing it and it was always spotlessly clean. The cinema room is great, and you can borrow bikes to get around the lake if you choose. Breakfast was delicious, and the host - Tomosan - could not have been friendlier or more helpful. I’m delighted to have chosen Ryosha Tsukiakari and can’t recommend it highly enough. I’m already planning to come back!

Beautiful place to stay! Location is a bit out of the way but this suited us as we wanted somewhere quiet and peaceful. We actually stayed 4 nights though had to book on Booking.com in 2 separate blocks of 2 nights each. This meant we had to change room part way through our stay and this was all very smoothly handled and easy for us. We had 2 nights in a room with beds and 2 nights in a room with foutons and really liked both rooms. The onsen was pleasant to use though only one was operational whilst we were staying which meant sometimes a bit of a wait for a shower but this didn't really affect us much. We loved the bikes provided and used them everyday, we were able to cycle to all the nearby places we wanted to visit including some popular tourist spots.

Having to leave!

It was a great experience for me and my family. We stayed there for one night and we wish to stay there at least 2 nights. The host was a great person and so kind. The place was super clean the room has private toilet but for bath you need to reserve the onsen in the facility for private use. We were late to reserve the bath for our use so that we missed the experience of onsen. May be next time. The location is little bit away from the lake but this is a big plus. 10 minute walk from lake to the place was great experience especially at night. In such a safe country and such a safe area, it was great to walk with my family. We saw male and female deers at night. We saw hawks . In the morning when our son opened the window he said there is a mountain. Then i looked and it was Fuji. We forgot the room has fuji view. The breakfast and the coffe was nice and enough for us. We enjoyed the stay there and recommend to anybody who reads this comment

The host took great care to ensure that the room was clean and comfortable for us during our stay. Though it was very cold ( 4 degrees) and raining outside, we felt quickly warmed up his hospitality as well as the fireplace placed at the entrance of the building. There was also an air conditioning unit to heat up the air plus floor heating inside our room. The facilities inside helped to keep my teenagers happily occupied the entire evening as we chose to stay indoor due to the rain. Highly recommend this place if you are driving.

The temperature of the onsen was too hot for us to dip in.

Great place to stay for leisure and for a short stay around Yamanakako. The place is fairly far from public transport (~20min of walk) so ideally a car would be desirable to access the place

Everything about this place exceeded our expectations. The room was a good size with a good view of Mt Fuji, the beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space in the room for them. Everything was clean and orderly. The games room was awesome for my daughter, and having a movie night in the common room cinema was so cool. The bathing facilities were totally unexpectedly awesome. Our breakfast was very nice, coffee was amazing, and the owner was such a lovely man, very caring and you can tell he takes great pride in the property. Riding the provided bikes to the lake (and stopping along the way at Zeit bakery for breakfast) was very convenient. We saw wild deer and squirrels all around the property and out of our windows. We loved this little town and staying at Ryosha Tsukiakari was the perfect place to start and end each day.

There was nothing about this place that we can fault.

Another place We would love to have stayed longer. A great place to visit is you want to get a feel of traditional culture and lifestyle also has a onsen which was fantastic not a natural spring but just as good. Theres a lot of extras like bikes to ride. Staff are fantastic and extremely helpful. Unfortunately the weather was a little unkind for us so we didn’t get to see Mt Fuji in all its glory- another time

There wasn’t really anything i could fault with the place except for other guests maybe being a little noisy- walls were a little thin - but you can get that anywhere

Large traditional room. Very comfortable Tatami beds. Theatre room was a lovely bonus. Onsen was also a nice touch. Coffee was some of the best I've had anywhere. Location was about 1.5km from Lake Yamanakaka.

One of the bathrooms was out of service, so finding an available time slot to bath ourselves and our young child wasn't always easy. Breakfast was an interesting attempt at Western foods that Western people don't eat for breakfast.

What makes this place special is that it is not a hotel - it is an inn, with a family feel, as if you belong there. Our first impression was that we would have preferred our own shower in the room, but on using the amazing bathrooms downstairs (which you can share or book a time), they have onsen/hot spa, with a view. We had an amazing time riding the free bikes around the lake with uninterrupted views of Mt Fuji, walks, sat in the lounge and read/watched a movie on the big screen, sat on the deck and had a local craft beer, played table tennis. The owner/manager is amazingly helpful and pleasant. While some of our other stays in Japan were in 'smarter' looking rooms, they did not have the welcoming family feel of Ryosha Tsukiakari. We would definitely stay there again (for longer and do more walks/rides).

This is not really a negative, and turned out to be more of a positive attribute...the property is about a ten minute ride/walk from the lakeside cafes etc, but then that is why it is so quiet and so beautiful among the forest. The lakeside is handy, sure, but busier. We enjoyed the rides to the lake on the free bikes, and in fact discovered some lanes to ride through to avoid the road, which was nice.

The host has a lovely place. Bikes are provided for riding around the town and umbrellas in case it rains. The onsens are private: one first come, first serve and the other reservable in the evening which is so fabulous for those of us not quite used to sharing an onsen with strangers. There's a lovely little theater room that is also reservable, a play room with ping pong and hammocks. Service was wonderful and the breakfast traditional and fun.

We have zero complaints.
