We loved that Togawaso felt really traditional. It did feel like you were stepping back in time which made it all the more charming. The free bike rental gave you freedom to explore beautiful the area. The view from our was absolutely stunning. Japanese breakfast was delicious too.

The location was a perfect amount of distance away from the main part of town - we had free bicycles available to use from the property so we were able to explore (and even cycled around the entire Lake Kawaguchiko, which was beautiful!) the entire local area. The ryokan was traditional and had everything we needed, it felt homey and the space was beautiful. Not to mention, the included onsen made the stay absolutely perfect and we wish we stayed longer!

I loved the view and the location, one side faced the lake, the other side faced Mt. Fuji. The owner made 3 trips to the Kawaguchiko Station in the morning so it was very convenient to leave. I liked the bath robes provided and the overall aesthetic was very traditional. Overall, everything was cozy and affordable.

The room is spacious, all the areas we went into are clean and is just a walk away from a beautiful park. The owners are very considerate and approchable.

A great traditional experience that you should try when in Japan. Can see Mount Fuji from the bedroom window if the weather is clear. A good place from which to explore the area with the sighseeing bus stop outside the hotel and free bikes available. Nice and helpful staff who picked us up and took us to the train/bus station. They also gave us a useful map with recommendations for where to eat and drink.

This property is a ryokan, which is a type of traditional Japanese Inn. Learn more

What's a ryokan?

A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?

Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
What's a kaiseki meal?

Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
What's a yukata?

A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
How should I wear a yukata?

First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?

Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
What's standard bathing etiquette?

At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
Why are tattoos not allowed?

While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.

Huge room with view of garden and Mount Fuji. Excellent Japanese breakfast. Great location close to the Lakeshore. Free pick up and return to the train station provided by the hotel extremely useful. We went to the tourist information office at the station to ask how to get to the hotel and they said it's OK, we will call them and they will pick you up in 5 minutes or so. Loved the traditional Japanese buckwheat husk pillows , and the Onsen.

The owners were super nice and picked us up at the main station. The inn is located right next to a beautiful park at the edge of the lake. It was possible to rent a bike at the inn (for free) so that it was easy to explore a bit further. Also nearby are some restaurants and a cozy izakaya. Breakfast was japanese style and very tasty. Our room was pretty big with a nice view and the futons were comfortable. Also a highlight: the public bath. All in all a great experience.

The place was lovely and coffee, tea and an area to eat in were all provided. The owner was helpful and the onsen was lovely (especially after a long walk to the 8th station of Mount Fuji). The Japanese breakfast the first morning was gorgeous. I really enjoyed it. I was disappointed to get a type of Western breakfast the second morning. I was in Japan and I wanted more of that LOVELY Japanese breakfast. It was fantastic to have bikes freely available for our use. We could cycle in and out of town in a few minutes. They were equipped with locks and dynamo lights. A fantastic resource for guests. Thank you! One thing that could have been better. The room had a slightly stale smell. It was very noticeable when you returned to the room after being away a while.

Might've been abit cold although the yukatas mitigated that.
The shuttle bus from the train station - it was nice that the tourist centre were able to call Togawaso to let them know we had arrived. Thankfully we arrived when the shuttle bus was operating if not it would've been a hassle to get to the property. It was nice that Togawaso had bicycles for us to use without any extra cost as well. Breakfast was lovely. View was nice enough although couldn't see Mt Fuji.
