Beautiful home and lovely owners and staff. Tranquil surroundings and cozy, highly recommend.

The curfew is at 10pm. Although it is understood because it is the host house.

It looks amazing and the host is great. He welcomed us with great hospitality.

The house itself is beautiful—if you appreciate traditional Japanese architecture, this is a must-see. It has an incredible location, with a view of Mt. Fuji right from the entrance. Although the owner speaks only a little English, he was extremely helpful, and we used Google Translate whenever necessary. He kindly recommended local spots for dining, sightseeing, and activities. Throughout our stay, he brought us tea multiple times and even served us breakfast each morning. While the bedding is on the floor in traditional Japanese style, it was actually more comfortable than the beds at the hotels I stayed at in Osaka and Kyoto. Overall, this was an amazing experience, and I would definitely recommend it!

The staff does not speak English but tries to compensate with Google Translate. While it helps with basic needs, I expect some friendly chats and small talk with the owners. You know, ask simple questions, get some recommendations, opinions, etc. This is not the case, unfortunately.

Firstly, I'd like to say that this was a last-minute reservation I made in Fujiyoshida. Due to logistic challenges, I had to cancel a much better one. As for the things I've liked, in general, the Ryokan has a good location - a bit noisy, but good enough for walking and riding around - buses, trains, taxis. It is in the walkable distance from Mt. Fuji station. The staff is helpful and proactively offers treats and help - thank you. Lots of restaurants and good onsen nearby.

The host is incredibly kind and thoughtful. He brought us welcome cookies and tea. The house and the room are gorgeous. If we ever visit the area again, no doubt we will stay again at his place.

The home was spectacular! It was an amazing being able to experience a traditional Japanese home and the family were beautiful. The check in process was easy and they provided us with food and green tea multiple times and booked a taxi for us the morning of departure. Would highly recommend!!

Beautiful classic Japonese house, this Ryokan realy impressed us with the beaty construction. The staff was very friendly and helpfull. Will come back for sure to stay more days. Its very well located, with a 15min walk to FujiQ and to the station

The single shower (bath room) is shared and can only be used in the afternoon, but sharing worked without any problems. Rooms can get a bit cold, but there is an extra heater close to the bed and under the little table!

Extremely friendly personal, very nice, traditional room, well decorated. The house has a nice garden and looks like a traditional japanese villa. Distance to Mt. Fuji station and Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine are both about 20-25min by foot.

This is an absolutely beautiful home, loved and cared for by our hosts, who were very kind and helpful. We wished we could have stayed longer as two days wasn't enough to experience this amazing traditional home. It was a wonderful experience and we thank our hosts for their kindness.

Nothing to dislike but as I have to put something here the house slippers were a bit small

The hosts were lovely and welcoming, the place is immaculately clean. If you're on the taller side be aware that the futon will be a bit short so ask for an extra one. Rooms will be colder in winter make sure you prepare to be warm.

You should keep in mind that this is a room in the house and there are rules for the time of taking a shower. It won’t be a problem if you plan it beforehand.

Authentic accommodation with a warm welcome of local people. Highly recommended for a definite Japanese experience

As the big onsen of the town is open until 11pm, it would be better if door was closed only at 11:30pm rather than at 10:30pm. Not a huge issue of course.

The host couple were amazingly friendly, the house is beautiful, the room was very comfy and very close to the center of the town.

The shower room is very old and you are limited to evening showers. But this is a very minor downside.

The older couple who hosted us are lovely and care taking beyond believe. Such a nice couple. You can feel the joy they have to provide foreigners a unique Japanese experience. I would give them 15/10 points if possible. The accommodation itself is traditional, clean and very spacious. I highly recommend staying there for one night or two. You get a once in a lifetime experience.

There's only one bathroom to share

Overall, host was very nice and warm, he provided green tea and fruits for us. Although he couldn't speak in English, we were still able to communicate through Google translate. It was a great place to experience local life. There were quite a lot of restaurants nearby, but the location of the place was quite far from the station if you walk. It took about half an hour walk.

Traditional house, it was authentic. The couple that welcomed us were very gentle and sweet! It’s an unforgettable experience.

This homestay style hotel was wonderful. The room was large, clean, and gorgeous. The family was so kind, greeting us with food and tea. Such an authentic and intimate Japanese experience!

The shower times and a curfew. A traditional house so respected that.

The house is in a good location and is a beautiful property. It has been looked after well and the family are lovely. The booking system for the shower was a little tedious. You are only able to use it from 3pm-9:30pm. I would say if you are looking for a house share experience then go for it but if you want your own bathroom and can come and go as you please (they have a 10pm curfew) then go with a hotel.

The property was lovely but we didn’t realise it was a home not a typical guest house. It was a bit hard to find because it is just a house with no signage and was all dark when we arrived in the early evening. There is only one shared toilet and a shared shower which is mostly used by the hosts. I think the host tried to encourage us to use the onsen across the road instead (my Japanese wasn’t good enough to understand).

I loved the home-stay, traditional Japanese vibe of this stay. It was a good location close to Fuji-Q Highland and heaps of restaurants. The host was so lovely and brought us tea and snacks, and tried her absolute best to communicate with us even though she speaks no English and we speak extremely basic Japanese. The house was beautiful, room was lovely, the futon beds were comfy and there was a heater/aircon (Dyson).
