They provided outstanding vegan breakfasts, despite this being their first time at such food. The view from the quite large room was spectacular and the staff were friendly and always helpful. And the location is very convenient for access to to both the main shrine and the walking tracks.

Their website advertises the option to participate in waterfall misogi and Shinto morning prayers, but neither of these were available. The waterfall meditation has not been available for three years they told me, even though it is still offered on their website.

Had an amazing 2 night stay here and it is clearly a very popular spot for foreign tourists. From here there are plenty of walks to go around: from the nearby shrine, to the more challenging mount Odake. The bathroom is shared: when you arrive you can choose an available 1 hour slot to use in private (there is also a separate shower room available if you do not wish to use the bathtub). Do recommend getting the dinner - Japanese style with lots of different dishes. Breakfast is also available in both Western or Japanese style. Would definitely stay again if ever back in the area

Sleeping in a futon in a tatami room was such a treat! The highlight of my trips were the lush nature surroundings and the breakfasts/dinners which was lovingly prepared by the owner-chef. The shukubo staff are very friendly and always checked in with my needs. A huge bonus was having a private onsen to myself everyday (reserved for an hour). The sun rises pretty early here (~5am), and it was delightful to be woken up by birds chirping in the morning.

Mountain wifi can be pretty laggy if you FaceTime, it was okay for Youtube though.

Lovely hosts! Friendly and accommodating. The check-in process was smooth. The room was clean and spacious, with a large balcony as well. The futon bed was VERY comfortable, this was probably the best night of sleep I had this trip. The dinner was excellent! Such a wide variety of dishes, and all of them delicious. Dinner needs to be reserved before 3pm of the same day, because the hosts will need time to prepare the dishes. I highly recommend doing so! I would absolutely stay here again.

We were very happy with our stay, the owners are very nice, they were kind enough to take delivery of a package for us (something we had forgotten at a previous hotel that was sent back to us) and to come and get us in the mountain when we were lost !! It is a bit difficult to find, especially if you arrive late and the sun is down. We recommend to try out the dinner, it is huge and delicious !! The rooms are very nice, with the most comfortable futons we've ever tried in Japan, honestly felt like sleeping in a regular bed ! The view is breathtaking from the rooms, and you can enjoy a peaceful and quiet moment sitting by the window with one of the books or mangas readily available on the first floor. The public bath is wide enough to accommodate a few people at the same time, and it felt very relaxing ! Thanks again for everything :)

First thing I have to say is that I loved staying at this place. Akemi’s hospitality is on another level, she made our stay very special since the moment she welcomed us, and I think we will never forget her. Her food is delicious (if you are vegetarian she will make special food) and the table set up is always beautiful, the place is clean, the bed is comfortable and the rooms are very cozy .The surrounding area has plenty of hiking options. If you are only staying for a night I recommend, and early arrival so you get enough time to do a hike or just walk around the area.

A wonderful view of traditional Japanese life as we experienced the tiny village and the traditional inn run by the family of a generational Shinto priest. Such pleasant people. The hotel was extremely clean and well kept. The Japanese style breakfast and dinner were exquisite and served with grace. We appreciated the thoughtfulness of a hot warmer placed in our futons on a chilly December night. A plus was the private Japanese style bath! We loved this gracious inn and the beauty of the mountain as we hiked the area, and when we visited the incredible Musashi-Mitake Shrine.

Wish we could have stayed longer!

The Inn sits on a beautiful mountain side and is surrounded by nature. The owners are incredibly kind in both Japanese and English. The food was exceptional and the private bath time was a perfect ending. The walk to the inn was steep but gorgeous. Our room was quite large with beautiful windows and a patio. Yukatas were provided during our stay.Overall the entire experience was exceptional and I would happily visit again!

After spending a few days in Tokyo city, this was a very welcome retreat. The landscape is absolutely beautiful, STUNNING, the rooms and views are divine and the staff so wonderful. We could have stayed 2-3 nights easily! There are so many gorgeous walks in the area. It was relatively cheap and easy to get to, makes for an excellent get away from Tokyo, and the train ride when you reach the area is stunning. The meals were plentiful and delicious.

What a beautiful place to stay! The hosts are lovely and were so helpful when we had questions. Delicious food, beautiful authentic style rooms, stunning views, hikes straight from the house … it is perfect in every way. They did recommend not taking large suitcases … I only wish we’d listened since it was quite a hilly walk from the top of the cable car. But really we couldn’t recommend it more as a place to get away from the bustle of the city.
