Despite my enthusiastic recommendation, it's important to note that the place may not be suitable for everyone, especially those seeking elaborate decor or Instagram-worthy hotels. The location is somewhat unconventional, nestled in an eclectic industrial area surrounded by old, one-story buildings. However, the abundance of convenience stores and restaurants within easy reach helps compensate for the less-than-ideal setting.

The proprietor is absolutely amazing—probably the most affable host I've ever encountered. The place itself offers an authentic Japanese experience, providing a much more genuine connection with the culture than your typical hotel. Considering the affordable nightly rate, it makes for an exceptionally cost-effective stay.

The location was fine, the town itself just isn't that special.

The view of mount Fuji was great. The staff was impeccable. They were so nice and helped us a lot! Would definitely recommend this stay for the staff alone if you need help with getting things sorted when for example going to mount Fuji.

Check-out time is a bit early with 09:30 am but was no problem for us.

Nice old traditional Ryokan with a somewhat private small onsen which is really wonderful. The room is spacious, wifi worked very well and the staff is very kind and helpful! There is a common area with a fridge and water dispenser for free use.

I loved the atmosphere of the hotel. Traditional with an old Japanese room. They also leave you traditional clothes and tea. The truth is that a very interesting experience. The staff is very friendly

No private bathroom, but the 24h public onsen definitely makes up for it

Great place, will definitely book again sometime

My only issue was a small towel. I know it is a Japanese sort of thing so it was not really a big deal to me.

Atmosphere is on point, futon bed was truly comfortable and I was able to change temperature in my room which is a worth mentioning advantage. I was also happy with the view from my room - you can see Mt. Fuji during optimal weather conditions. My favorite thing about this place is the staff because they were really kind and helpful.

Unusual neighborhood. But interesting

Mid 20th century vibe at a 300 year old business. As authentic as it gets

The location makes getting anywhere a little challenging in certain parts of the day.

The staff were very friendly, my Japanese is poor but I was able to communicate them with ease, though they do not speak almost any English. The shower and bath room was very nice. The owners also run a soba restaurant next door which is definitely worth eating at.

For those who want to experience Japanese culture, this ryokan is perfect. It will take you back in time to the Edo period. A hot bath is truly divine and relaxing. Staff extremely nice and friendly. I definitely recommend staying there.

The property is very dated (facilities). It is an old Ryokan and had minimal upgrades. Also, the address provided when entered into google map takes you to the back of the property. I had to go around twice.

The staff were excellent and very welcoming.

Just keep in mind that it is not near the lakes for mt Fuji. You do have nice views of mt Fuji though.

This was a good stay in a nice Ryokan! The staff was lovely, they are so sweet. Price-quality very good. If there are no clouds you can see mt Fuji from your window. There will be tea waiting for you in your room. Very near to the small train station. If you stay at this Ryokan, visit the Hiromi park. Also, eat lunch at the Kitchen Taka Fuji!

The street outside can at night be a bit noisy but it wasn’t a big problem

Very authentic japanese experience for no money. The guy owning the place was so friendly and helpful (yes his english wasn’t the best but i didn’t see it as a problem). Had a great view over Mt fuji from my room. Definitely recommend! 😊
