The hosts were gentle, kind and accommodating. The dinner there is wonderful, requiring a booking ahead of time. Breakfast is served upon request. The location is very relaxing, tree views and lovely noise of crickets and birdsong (be aware a few bugs such as locusts and dragonflies might visit the balcony). The balcony telescope may be used on a clear night. The rooms are large and have WiFi and air conditioning, good showers and a toilet. Beautiful (Japanese cedar?) furniture and traditional Tatami mats and futon beds. There is a washer and dryer available for guest usage. The hotel is accessible by a bus from the local train station. There are convenience stores and restaurants closeby, and great hikes such as Mount Takao, just a 45 minute journey away. I even made a trip into central Tokyo via train which took around 2 hours. All in all, Kougetsu Sanso was great value and easily the highlight of our stay in Japan. Thank you Hoshima and team! <3

We enjoyed our stay very much. No criticisms, although there was a small language barrier easily overcome by Google translate.

My partner and I recently enjoyed a remarkable stay at this exceptional venue. The ambiance and scenic views offered here are unparalleled, creating a truly unforgettable experience. The meticulous preservation of the building's authentic charm adds a unique and historical character to the stay. Moreover, the hospitality extended to us was exceptional, meriting the highest praise. I strongly recommend this venue to those seeking a serene family retreat or a memorable gathering with friends. It's a place that deserves serious consideration for anyone looking to create lasting memories.

public transportation to the venue took us a little while to figure out, but that's expected and just for the first trip down there. Hosts were extremely helpful with transporation aid once we got there.

The whole place is wonderful, HaichioJi Peace, and the kindness of the host, the things around the area, all beyond of all expectations, so much fun in Hachioji:)

Everything went very good, nothing to add, becuase the place is warm, the stuff kind, the comunication was perfect, the also speaks mandarin at the hotel.

Beautiful home, very spacious, Japanese style home and has entire bottom floor of home. Very clean, large bathroom with separate toilet. We played on going to Tokyo Sumerians and he drove us there which took an hour due to traffic and recommended art museum near by when we were leaving which he also drive is to. Would recommend staying here anytime you are staying in Hachioji. Breakfast was wonderful as well and very great value. Wish I took photo to show breakfast and beautiful home.

The inn was of traditional Japanese style. We slept on futon beds on top of tatami mats. It was a wonderful way to start off our trip in Japan. It’s an experience I would highly recommend.

The location is not the most central to Tokyo. However, if you are wanting to stay in Hachioji and have a rental car or are comfortable with the train and bus system, it is a good choice. The owner was very kind to offer us a ride to the train station on a couple of occasions. If you have the time and can manage the public transit system, don’t let it deter you from staying here.

Beautiful rooms that replicate old-style Japanese houses. Breakfast matches the theme with great variety. Hosts were very nice, accommodating, and understanding of the language barrier.

The distance is a little far from Tokyo, so expect at least an hour ride to get to anywhere. However, I enjoyed the late night-long train rides back.

Beautiful old house run by a few people. Don’t expect service . It’s just a homestay. Lovely large tatami rooms for the family. It’s basic but pleasant. Lovely house and run by some kind people who leave you alone. Breakfast is provided. Suburban area has a few places to eat and. Starbucks nearby.

What an amazing ryokan! Everything about the place was amazing, but what truly made the stay great was just how kind and helpful the owner was.

is a beautiful place in a beautiful valley with really nice staff and good food. honestly really worth it to come here and definitely recommending it to others.

Clean and traditional
