Ryokans in Minobu

Everything! The best accommodation experience of my life. The staff was amazing, very helpful and friendly, making sure you have a fantastic stay. The food is super tasty and an amazing experience. The lodges out back were comfy, cozy and comfortable. The private bathroom (you could book a slot for on day itself) was amazing too. There is a beautiful garden you look out on from the dinner room. All in all just a fantastic experience. Thanks to the entire staff, so much appreciated!!

Clean, comfortable, 親切, 暖気

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.

Great experience of Japanese onsen, delicious dinner and breakasft buffet, great outdoor onsen, traditional rooms, not crowded. Ice cresm for free, mochi making and happy hour with footbath included. Lots to enjoy!

The best view of shoji and the best friendly service of hotel. Thanks for shoji partners, looking forward to have a trip here next time!

This is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. My boyfriend worked at 5-star hotels in the past and even he said the service at this hotel was impeccable. We were very lucky to see Mt Fuji from our room and the private onsen. We also loved the traditional Japanese room, the dinner and breakfast selection and being able to wear the yukata provided by the ryokan. Definitely the most authentic Japanese experience of our trip. We wish we had stayed longer than just one night. We will be back at this ryokan every time we visit Japan from now on.

Quite conveniently near Fujinomiya Station (less than 10min walk), good for those who don’t drive. Very spacious, clean, and cosy traditional Japanese-style rooms with tatami floors and absolutely comfortable futon beds. High quality service from the staff who were very friendly, courteous and hospitable, even when we couldn’t speak Japanese and English was also minimal for them, they still did their very best. Just using phone translators can be useful! The private bath is free and had a nice outdoor bath with a view of Mt Fuji if lucky on a clear day! The inclusive breakfast was also traditionally Japanese and a true Japanese experience. It is a small family style ryokan with only less than 10 rooms, so it felt very homely rather than a commercial stay. There are also nice eateries nearby and a convenience store which is close to Fujinomiya Station. You can easily get to tourist spots like Omiya-Yokocho or Shiraito Falls from this stay as well. We arrived past the check-in time at 11pm (check in was until 9pm) and the staff was still still waiting at the entrance for our arrival with the footwear meant for us at the doorstep, even worrying that we were not going to arrive and forfeit the stay. The staff even urged us to quickly use their private bath while the water was still warm enough, and it was already past the bath’s opening hours. So overall the experience is exceptional and really worth the price as well!

Very close to Mount Fuji by bus or car. Good city to experience what was Japan decades ago, very laidback. The staff are awesome very helpful and accommodating!
