firstly, the location was great. Just 5 minutes walk from the station. Then, the hotel is new, just opened less than 6 months ago, so it was a bonus to feel like almost the first guests . The room though not very big yet very efficiently designed to supply all needs. Very nicely decorated, comfortable beds and all necessary amenities in the shower. The onsen, both private and public were amazing. At the front desk we met Virginie who was fantastic, very helpful and ready to give advice on any question. Breakfast was very good, large veriety of food, both western and Japanese, a very good English speaking waiter (at our table) and the sitting area is very beautifuly designed.

This hotel was amazing and exceeded our expectations! The staff was so friendly and helpful. They even upgraded our room for free because they didn't think the space was enough for two adults and our son. They also gave our son a kid bag which included kid size slippers and goodies. He felt very special. The hotel and rooms were extremely clean and nice. Of course, the room was small but that's to be expected and the space was used very efficiently. The breakfast was excellent and offered a good variety of food for veg and non-veg. To add our son's breakfast was only 1000 yen which was very reasonable. The hotel was conveniently located within about a 10 minute walk from the train station. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The customer service is AMAZING. They speak english (rare in Japan), they were kind and even helped us find a bag we forgot in a buss calling and asking for us. They also helped us calling our next accomodation (in other city) to arrange late checkin! 3 Minutes from Mt Fuji station, vital in this area. They also provided very nice suggestions about the area. Clean and comfortable (rare in Japan). Absolutely recommended.

Location is 10-15 minute walk from the Takayama station, which is convenient when you are doing day trips to the nearby attractions. I stayed with my 74 and 78 year old parents, and the walk was doable. The hotel has a free shuttle from the station which we used when we arrived and when we left due to the bags, other than that, we walked to the station. The city center however, is a bit of a walk (25-30 mins) which was not doable with my parents, so we had to pay for taxis, which are expensive in Takayama, so just keep that in mind. If i had been there with other ppl my age, i would have not mind the walk.. Food: Their restaurants were closed by 8:30, and so do most restaurants in Takayama, so make sure you (1) reserve wherever you want to go because most rests go off of reservations and (2) eat before 8pm or you will go to bed with an empty stomach. Breakast was pricy but if you are looking for something more than bread and coffee at the bus station before your tours, wake up early and might be worth the price. Facilities: Very well maintained, very clean, staff was very helpful. Onsen was AWSOME, super clean, multiple "jacuzzies", 2 indoor, 2 outdoors, SUPER relaxing. They are free of use between 3pm and 10pm and have everything you need such as hair treatments, hair dryers, etc. They have a sauna, multiple showers, and overall, it felt luxurious and comfortable. We had a massage which I believe was relatively cheap ($30 USD) for one hour and it was a very therapeutic one, although it is not on a closed room spa, which was okay for the price. Rooms: They are spacious, futon beds are comfortable, they are warm so you don't have to worry about heating it up when you return from your day trips. The staff will set up your futon bets at 7pm, unless you ask them to be earlier.

The room was nice. Two couples and each had separate bathroom. The cabin gave us time to spend together and planned the next few days itinerary. The location was 7 minutes away from the mall, so even when we didn't book dinner, the staff told us that we could head to the mall to have dinner. The mall was decorated with Xmas decor, very romantic. It was fun to walk there and somehow it had firework on Saturday evening, what a surprise. Note: food court closed at 7:00 pm sharp. The facility is beautiful for us and had different wildlife to observe. We all had a great time!

I booked this ryokan to celebrate my partner's 30th birthday. This is the first time we have stayed at a ryokan, and the stay has exceeded our expectations! The ryokan itself is a national cultural asset, indeed the interior is absolutely stunning, with lots of nature and a pond where you can feed the koi. Our room was Japanese style with a river view, the view is impressive. The onsens inside the ryokan are very comforting, as well as the kaiseki dinner and the hearty breakfast. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

We traveled with a toddler and this is no easy feat but the hotel had a designated play room with books, toys galore, coloring materials, stuffed animals and even a ball pit! The onsen was so relaxing after a long day of walking and the views are spectacular. If you enjoy a good breakfast then you’re in luck because the buffet offers not only a good variety but also quality. The shuttle service was really the star, without it this place would be out of the way. I would stay here again!

It’s clean, very well equipped with heater, cooking utensils. The owners are so nice and friendly. Language may be a barrier but they tried really hard to accommodate all our needs. The place is slightly secluded which is perfect for quiet vacation but you can still go to town centre by just taking 1 train to Karuizawa station and the owners are nice enough to drop and pick you!

The skies looked amazing at night. If you are tired of the hustle and bustle in the city, it’s a great place to get yourself refreshed. Hope we have a chance to visit there again.

This is undoubtedly the best hotel I have stayed in. Everything from the location, the amazing staff, the huge room from where you can see the beach and the incredible private onsen inside the room was 10/10. It’s a bit far from everything but it’s completely worth it. Also, they provide a bus to and from the station.

It's a beautiful area. We were very lucky with the weather because we had brilliant views of Mt Fuji from everywhere. There is NO need to take a photo in front of the Lawson because there are better views from almost any street. It's nice to just walk around and visit the cafes and restaurants. FujiFab cafe in Shumiyoshida is a very hipster cafe.

A nice and quiet city with a lot to offer. A good base for a day trip to Kamikochi which is a fantastic hiking place. Driving around the city is nice with alps on the backdrop. Matsumoto city alps park is a great place for activities and hangout. Tower of beauty has fantastic mountain views and panoramic scenery. Visit the wasabi farm for interesting and nice wasabi products. Last but not least, the beautiful Matsumoto castle, which will light up at night.

Fujiyoshida offers beautiful views of Mt. Fuji — on a clear day, you can see the mountain from almost anywhere in town. It’s very close to Mt. Fuji and other nearby attractions, making it a great base for exploring the area. I actually prefer staying in Fujiyoshida over Kawaguchiko because it’s less crowded but just as convenient and scenic.

Shizuoka is a hidden gem. You can stay here and get to many sightseeing destinations by rail (day trips) and come back to the relaxation of more laidback location. Locals are very pleasant and friendly, not so jaded by the over tourism of Kyoto and Osaka. We speak very limited Japanese, but were welcomed and managed in small local restaurants and Izakayas.

Niigata is a refreshing small city, and the river has beautiful views of both sides. Each side of the river has green pedestrian and bicycle rider paths. There is easy access to the Performing Arts Center with its living rooftop garden on it's oval shaped building. Hakusan Park is not to be missed - an oasis away from the hubbub of office and city life! Complete with a lotus pond, bridges, a large temple, Tori gates, and a pond with a wisteria-covered bridge. Very scenic. There are the shops on Furumachidori - a covered avenue with adorable shops, bronze figures of baseball players, and the Japan Animation and Manga College is on this avenue. Along this dori you might see a box of turtles sunning on the sidewalk!

Atami is just too full of tourists.

Atami is just too full of tourists. Crowded and no feeling of being in Japan. There is virtually nothing to see in the town except Atami castle. This is a rebuilt castle where each floor (1-5) is a type of exhibition. Only one floor with wooden replicas of many old famous castles is good to see. However, to get there you must buy a $9 cable car ticket and then another $10 entrance fee as well as a taxi fee to get to the cable car. Not worth it.
