Actually booked this place by accident. I thought i had booked Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan. When i showed up to the hotel I thought i had booked, it was more elegant, and honestly more uppity than i was expecting. I sensed they were put off by my excited kids, and knew we'd be walking on eggshells the whole time. So i wasnt super upset when we learned I had accidentally booked another place 18 km away! I had been corresponding with the hotel operator by email, who seemed pleasant enough, but I hadn't the first clue what kind of place i had actually booked. So we were beyond excited when we arrived to find, what to my foreign eyes seemed like an absolutely authentic traditional japanese home. It looked like a movie set. The owner showed us around the property, then he went home. The kids and I high-fived! We got the traditional setting we had wanted, but we could relax alone on a mountainside. The setting is a tad rustic. I loved that about the place. Heating is by woodburning stove that you feed yourself (electric space heaters there as well). There is a full kitchen there, and what we didnt know ahead of time, is that there is primitive outdoor grilling/cooking facilities. That made a few confusing exchanges with the property operator suddenly make sense. Although it sounded in other reviews that possibly the property owner provided meat to be grilled, we had been asked to bring our own food. We didnt understand that that meant grillable items. But anyway, we loved the place. It would be perfect for a large group of 7, possibly more, to stay for more than one day and get big preplanned meals going on the woodfired grill.

Big lobby and lounge area ,nice breakfast, small bedrooms and quite a bad smoking smell ,Onsen for men only. Free parking,OK for price and location

The most japanese experience you can imagine!

Nao was a great guest house host. Brought us in with open arms, cooked us a meal, introduced us to his friend and had a good time. Will definitely come back. Thank you Nao

Excellent hospitality, the monk and wife gave me a gift and great information on the temple.

Amazing atmosphere, super clean and spacious rooms. We learned a lot about Buddhism and the chief monk Ken and his family were so very nice and welcoming. They explained a lot about history, Buddhism and gave us great recommendations about walking around - definitely the highlight of our trip in Japan so far! Food was super authentic too. An advice - take a taxi from the station, it’s not expensive and the road is super steep. Also go to the morning prayer.

It was a great private cabin wotha view of Fuji. It was really nice to have a fire going at night in your terrace and waking up to see sunrise on Fuji

Everything was great, very attentive staff, good facilities and good food.

Gorgeous location opposite to Mount Fuji and a beautiful lake. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Onsen directly face the magnificient Fuji san. Just heaven!

New, clean and comfortable beds. Free car park and convenience store + restaurants close by. Toiletries and equipment provided were nice and new. Drinking water from tap and air purifiers available in the rooms. Nice set up and fun, amazing views of the alps and Mt Fuji around the property.
