Small Place with Big Heart
Great location, very near Lake Yamanaka. We had the hotel all to ourselves, but the owners made sure we were looked after very well, making great efforts to get the bath ready for us. The garden autumn colours were radiant and playing pool in the lobby with my son and wife was priceless!

Wonderful Little Experience
Very nice little tucked away guesthouse. The couple that run it are very friendly and helpful. They literally contacted me five minutes after booking to explain how to find them and check in. It's very clean and up kept. Will definitely book again in the future!

It was an excellent choice to experience a Japanese ryokan. Specially considering the price. Very traditional and an amazing service. We really hope to come back.

Pleasant guesthouse near lake and restaurants
This is a very pleasant and spotlessly clean guesthouse set back from the lake (and the main road around it) along an alley. My room backed onto a forest and was very pleasant. A good western style cooked breakfast is available; order the day before. There are several good restaurants back on the lakeside within easy walking distance.
