Good location to enjoy yamanaka Lake. The bedroom was comfy, and the view facing the mount fuji was amazing. As it is an old house, the walls are not soundproof, so you must be careful not to make too much noise. You could even hear people next door snoring. Despite that, it's a good place to stay, and the onsen is really pleasant 😊 They don't provide food, so I recommend checking around to some delicious shop that provide good breakfast not far from the hotel ✨️

Love the Ryokan experience. Our room has a balcony that has Mt Fuji view (depending on weather). The hotel backyard has a Fuji view as well. Room only comes with toilet n basin. For shower every guest has to book the 30 mins slot to use their onsen room with shower. They have 2 private onsen room. The room is comfortable n spacious n the bed was really comfortable. Optional futons are provided for those who wish to sleep on the floor. Staffs were very helpful with our luggages as our room was on 1st floor. Overall very good experience for us. Thanks to the staff for hosting us.

We had a room with great Mt. Fuji view - of course when it wasn't cloudy. Good contact with the staff. Quite close to Yamanakako lake - 10 minutes walk Bike rental service - cheap, bikes well prepared. Tennis table and billards table available for free. Clean and large onsen for private use.

Shared toilet for a couple of rooms. No showers except for the ones in the onsen which means you need to time your sightseeing to go back in time. Not even a washbasin in the room to clean your cups in. Basement with table tennis and other things - cold, with moldy smell.

The location is good, you can see the Mt. Fuji view from your bedroom. It's also near Yamanaka lake which you can take a photo with Mt. Fuji .

There is no elevator in this property, And we got a room on the second floor, so we have to carry our big luggage by ourselves. However, the staffs are nice, they helped us carry some luggages. There is no bathroom in the room. We have to use the private onsen for taking a shower and we have to reserve the time since there is only one private onsen. If you come during low season, that's ok. But we came during NY holiday, so lots of people were staying here.

Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was awesome: views to the Mount Fuji, and we even saw some wild deers at night. What a view! It was a typical japanese room, very big and comfortable for the three of us (we were traveling two adults and a 2 year old baby).

Only downfall would say not having shower in the room, that might be a bit inconvenient, but the lady explained us how to book ourselves the onsen, and it went great. Great japanese experience to live, so we would repeat for sure!

The overall hospitality is fantastic! The room is spacious. The staff really considers the guest, the onsen, a small gift from the staff, and snacks available in vicinity since food isn't not easily in reach at night. Also the view from Mount Fuji is beautiful, and the shared garden in the back was a nice touch. The foot massage garden was one of my favorites as it both entertained and educated me about how the foot connects to a part of the body

End of Nov, Sunset is at 4 30 pm, and we arrived at 7.pm. everything was dark. The location is a bit of a walk uphill. But Japan is a safe country.

I liked the private onsen, it was always available for us to use! The room was also good, very spacious, and the bedding was the best on our trip to Japan. We also used the garden, when the weather was nice, and it had a view of Mt. Fuji and a place to sit in the sun.

Other accommodations helped us with luggage forwarding, except this one. We were told to do it ourselves at the nearby post office, but we found the forms to be intimidating to fill out on our own. Not a big minus, and I kinda understand - it's a tiny hotel, but still something to consider beforehand if you have big luggage.

Staffs are helpful and kind. Location is great, Yamanaka lake, bus stop, convince store, restaurants are close. And the rental bikes are good quality.

Incredible small traditional Japanese Inn tucked away two blocks from the lakeside at Yamanakako. Very quiet! We didn't realize how loud / busy the main road directly around the lake would be (lots of trucks), so we were happy to be a couple blocks away where it was much more quiet. Showering in the onsen bathrooms was an amazing experience. 24/7 access to these bathrooms. They had two of them, first come, first serve. It was allowed that my partner and I could go in together so that made for a very nice experience, since most onsens are segregated. Checkin process was very easy with booking.com, the receptionist did not speak english but had a translator device that made communication very easy. The bike rental on-site was very nice too (just make sure you test it out before you leave! some adjustments were necessary for us). Lots of snacks onsite if you are arriving late or don't want to travel out (most restaurants are closed after 8pm in nearby area, except Denny's). Very close walk to the lake. Partial view of Fuji from our room! We were so happy to have stayed here. So quiet and peaceful. Surpassed my expectations, highlight of our trip. So happy to have stayed at Yamanaka, too --- we visited Fujikawaguchiko later and it felt very busy, rushed, crowded, touristy in comparison. We felt like we had the entire Yamanaka lake / bike path to ourselves.

Beds were very firm. No shower in the actual room was a surprise (only toilet / sink), but never had issues getting an onsen bathroom to ourselves (even better experience IMO). Could be an issue if the hotel is busy though, as there were no reservation type system.

Firstly the room is not that expensive. We love the room which was Mt Fuji facing. The room is so spacious that you could have at least 5 ppl to live in. The onsen can be used by yourself by locking the door (the personnel said). It is a beautiful place.

The location- we travel on our foot and public transport. The closest bus station is 200m away but getting to main train station is time consuming. It is better you drive around this area. No own bathroom- there is no shower room in our room so we have to go to shared shower which is part of our hotspring. Luckily every time I get there there are no ppl in there.
