The room was spacious and comfortable but the shower and toilet facilities are a bit cramped. The toilet door also didn't close properly.

The location by the river was fabulous.

Small Onsen, room was a bit cold.

Very good location, nice room with balcony.

Perfect location by the river and main attractions. Very clean and well maintained. Small onsen but I had it to myself the whole stay. Breakfast was OK - probably on the better end of the hotel breakfasts we had in Japan.

Perfect location, beautiful view and the sound of the river was relaxing. Lovely traditional room that really made this stay extra special. Very quiet and relaxing.

I booked a single room on booking but was kindly upgraded by the host to a bigger room with a balcony. I could also take the breakfast a bit earlier, the host was very flexible. Everything was very clean and the food very good. The onsen is also perfectly located in shuzenji onsen.

Great location! Very comfortable tatami 'beds' and good and plenty breakfast.

The room / place was a bit older and not perfectly spotless (some dust), but I don't care about such things. It was a great stay and ryokan. My room was across from the nice and well appointed, communal sink area, but that was no problem at all. I didn't see or hear anyone out there. The nice sound of the river running helped make everything feel quiet and peaceful.

This was a great place, especially for the value. Right on the river; a nice traditional feel. Spacious room. Nice small balcony / sitting area facing the river. Good breakfast, worth it. Terrific location. Walkable to main sites in the town like the main temple and nearby shrine, shops, restaurants, and river that runs right by the river. Great view of the river off the balcony, by the way.

I have booked a room without toilet, so it's a bit inconvenient. Overall the room is spacious and comfy. The breakfast was yummy!

We departed from Tokyo and got stuck in a traffic jam. When we called the property we would arrive shortly after 11pm, we were told the onsen will close at 11pm sharp (I haven’t found any information about it anywhere on their website or here). The owner was very apathetic and when we asked him what where are we supposed to shower then, he just said “onsen closes at 11pm for everyone, if you want to make it, hurry up”. There was no willingness no come up with a solution. Fortunately, we speed up and arrived at 11:05pm and were informed that the owner is willing to let us take shower, but will close at 11:15pm. So yes, the property is nice, the staff not so much. It was our second time to stay there, the first time we had breakfast which was rather mediocre, this time we went to a place nearby and it was absolutely delicious, so I would recommend that instead.

Location is amazing as well as the rooms. Very spacious and clean.

A little pricey for an old and dated ryokan

It’s next to the river and with beautiful scenery

Not a complaint about the property, but everything in the town that it's located in closes around 5pm, so make sure you've secured a meal.

The location is amazing and easy to get to from Mishima or surrounding cities. It took me 2 hours to get there from Mt.Fuji. Very nice town to walk around and see local sights. Not busy at all and can give you time to enjoy peace and quiet in nature. Very good value for a night's stay as well.

Toilet is quite cramped and there is 1 squat toilet and 1 normal sitting toilet. Got bad hayfever while sleeping but it was the season. River makes noise but it is a constant noise so can sleep ok. (No black out curtains, just Shoji)

Nice bath with onsen water, Good Riverside views. Great staff, and great breakfast (starting at 8am or 8:30am). Location is very best the Hakoyu traditional public onsen.

Could add more toilet.

Breakfast was excellent and location is good.

room is beside river so it might be little noise at night

nice location，nice onsen，host is kind

Stayed in February 2024

The onsen himself was clean but very small and the changing room was pretty cold, without a door, just two noren. I can’t say that I enjoyed the bath.

Nice room and good location in the center of the town.

Probably need a car to visit some of the nearby attractions.

Fairly traditional, nice small onsen bath. Plenty of nice places around the village.

Stayed in January 2024

There’s only one western toilet and one Japanese style toilet for the entire property, which does not feel it’s enough. Onsen is cute, a bit tiny, but it’s okay.

Very spacious room and only few of them, so it feels like you have the entire ryokan to yourself! Definitely beautiful location.

Stayed in October 2023

There is only 1 sitting and 1 squatting toilet shared in the property.

The location is right next to the bamboo forest and close to many restaurants.

Stayed in December 2023

Nothing wrong with the property, mostly just the area of Shuzenji, which just doesn’t have too much to do. Small sight seeing areas, a cute little town with nice people who own small restaurants and stores, lots of older houses in the area as well. But that’s the extent of Shuzenji. So if you plan to visit, I wouldn’t recommend too many nights there, as there isn’t a lot to do there. This is all on the outlook of a tourist.

It’s a nice taste for traditional hotels, the onsen was small but comfortable. The place doesn’t get too much people in, so in my case I had the whole place to myself basically which made the experience a little lonely. Sadly I didn’t try the breakfast they provide, but from the reviews of the small restaurant connected I’m sure it would taste nice.

This simple but comfortable ryokan certainly provides tranquility for you to relax and reflect. We arrived late. The host was friendly and took time to show us around. The hot bath was nice after a day’s travel.

There is no shower place (common/private), only an small onsen with a wash area. As it is July, I find it too hot for onsen. The WC is small but ok for me. Bigger/taller person might find the space tight.

Took a taxi (about 1300 JPY) to go as I didn't know what bus to take. Took a bus back to the train station when departing after I was shown where the bus stop is. Staff cooked a sumptious meal for breakfast. If you finish all the food, you wouldn't need lunch! The ryokan is just by the bamboo forrest/garden and you can hear the river flow, especially at night. Room is spacious and airy + air-con. You have to set up your own beddings on the floor in the room. There are many good food places nearby. It's a good choice for a weekend stay if you are visiting Shuzenji.
