From the moment we arrived at Fujiya we felt very welcome. The staff were very kind and made our stay relaxing. We really appreciated their efforts in trying to explain things in english due to our japanese being rather limited - thank you very much for your help. A highlight for us was the building itself: Our japanese style room had a beautiful view of the river and bridge. The private family onsen sent us back in time and the dining room felt very traditional and special to us. All meals were delicious. I will never forget the feeling of being cozy in bed with the sound of the river running and the frogs giving their best concert :)

Nothing - we would come back in a heartbeat.

It is an old building right on the river, in a great location for the village and onsens. There was free coffee in the lobby before or after breakfast. We had a corner room with a great view of the river.

The age of the building made the room very drafty and dark and the lobby was over cluttered. The hotel sent us up the hill in the dark to a different hotel for the open air bath as theirs was very small. The onsen itself was nice but not as clean as others. The staff was not very hospitable compared to many of the other ryokans we have stayed at in Kurokawa.

Amazing stay!!! First time staying in traditional ryokan and did not let down. The staff treated us like very honoured guests! We came before check in time but they let us leave our suitcases. When we came back they had already lifted them upstairs to our room! Got robes/kimono to wear. Our room had a nice view of the river. Welcome drinks provided. Had our own toilet in our room, while no shower as there is a shared onsen downstairs (separate gender ones and family onsen). Dinner was STUNNING! Many courses so I was super full!! The man who served us during dinner was so polite and explained what all the foods were. Although I didn’t expect much English all the staff did speak very well! Breakfast also was massive and delicious!

I personally feel very comfortable on a futon but my 3 friends did not sleep well on them! Keep this in mind if you might have trouble sleeping on one. Driving to the property is a little tricky, as the roads through the little town are quite narrow, but we managed once we found the right entrance point!

Everything! I’ve stayed in very expensive ryokans and machias and this lute little places beats them all. The staff was very nice, tbd details in this place… photos won’t do the justice. I have no idea why this place is only rated 3 stars. We stayed second night in the ryokan of 4 stars in the same street and it’s incomparably poor compared to Fujia. I hope one day we come back here and stay longer. Thank you Fujia ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It’s perfect

Loved the ryokan feel, beautifully organised and decorated, felt totally luxurious. Lovely to look at both on the outside and the inside. Felt very well looked after by the staff.

There was nothing to fault. We just wished we could have experienced dinner at the ryokan as well as breakfast because the breakfast was exceptional but unfortunately the ryokan were not able to provide dinner on this date.

Good old traditional Japanese Ryokan. High quality and friendly service, excellent food, and great onsen bath. I have nothing to complain!

I personally do not have anything dislike about this ryokan. However, if anyone who expect modern facilities, this is probably not the place.

Absolutely charming Inn. A moment going back in history. The baths are so retro, very few rooms so you can bath by yourself. Not overcrowded. Such a wonderful stay here. The food was good and I loved the raw horse meat, very delicious. What a great stay.

The location is fantastic, just right next to the creek and window opens to the scenery. Hotel itself is quint and full of the nostalgic ryokan feel. Hot springs is great and probably the best we had during our trip.

The 4 person room with split level is a bit tight. The split level has a very low head room and poor ventilation.

Situated in a quiet village with ancient Japanese ryokans. Room is great & onsen is good. The room has a roof window which allow us to look at the stars at night in the room. The breakfast is wonderful.

The dinner service is suspended

This was one of the few places that allowed for solo traveller's. Appreciated the quality of the room itself and the dining experience was different (they have a large dinning room with each room portioned out so you are still private). The outdoor onsen was at another location but I found it refreshing to go out for a walk in the winter to get there and back. The outdoor onsen they gave us access to was also pretty good.
