Such caring and amazing staff; the onsen was amazing and the meals were FANTASTIC. Thank you so much!

A nice trip back in time to an old, well preserved building

Amazing magical place. The view of the room was incredible, the place was amazing with a very nice onsen on property. The staff was amazing and they did everything they could to help us. We even requested a vegan meal and they did an incredible job. The best food we had on our stay in Japan.

We stayed here on Mitakesan for two nights and had a wonderful time. This was the best lodging experience of our nearly three weeks in Japan and a highlight of our trip. From the moment we entered, our host, who runs this establishment with his family, took care of us and ensured we had a great stay. We were greeted with snacks and warm tea upon arrival on a chilly evening. Our host was prepared for us with a voice translator app, so communication was easy despite us not speaking any Japanese. He asked us what we had planned for the next day, helped us plan our hike, offered us a packed lunch, and gave us a trail condition report in the morning. His family has run this business for about 150 years. They are proud of it and it shows in their service. Highly recommended. -- Food was delicious, filling, and beautifully served homemade style kaiseki with local ingredients. Taste was just as good as much more expensive establishments with award winning chefs. We are somewhat picky eaters, but we gladly tried and finished everything. Breakfast was at 8a and dinner was at 6p. Facility was excellent. It was recently renovated, so everything is modern and brand new, but it still retains a traditional feel. The construction quality was very impressive with great attention to detail. Every surface, corner, joint, bevel, and seam was perfect. There are only two units in this inn. The other unit was not booked during our stay so we had the entire place to ourselves. Our private unit had a very fancy toilet, sink with mirror, water heater, refrigerator, good air conditioning, television, closet, sleeping area, and tatami room with table. The heated bath and shower area is spacious and shared, but you just lock it when in use. There is much to see and do on Mitakesan. You can easily fill several days with hiking. Trails to a few local mountains and some easier loops all connect to the main village pathways.

Peaceful, Well-Located Mountain Retreat at Mount Mitake We had a great stay at this mountain house near Mount Mitake. The location is excellent — just a short walk from the train station, which made getting there and exploring the area very easy. The house itself is comfortable and well-equipped, with a cozy wood stove that we really enjoyed using in the evenings. The views from the property are beautiful, especially in the early morning and at sunset. It’s quiet, clean, and surrounded by nature, but still very accessible. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing escape from the city with great access to hiking and the mountains.

Stayed here for a climbing trip to Mitake. Great location, very affordable, exactly what I was looking for.
