Best Minobu Hotels

"低温の温泉、最初は戸惑いましたがハマりました。 ありがとうございました。 正直言って周辺には何も無いけれど、逆にそれが息抜きになりました。 ぼーっと木々の移ろいや野鳥のさえずりに時の過ぎるのを忘れるのも良いものです。"

"For any Yuru Camp anime fans, if you also are interested in an Onsen experience this is the perfect place. The facilities and staff are amazing! I couldn't believe the size of my room, especially after coming from a business hotel in Tokyo. I thought Deluxe Twin was just the ”deluxe” version of a standard single twin size bed room instead of two twin beds but there are no complaints. Given it's more remote location I was expecting zero English but I was so surprised at how well some of the staff spoke English and had print outs for English speakers. I have to shout out two staff members, Nozomi and Joon Bae's english combined with my limited and grammatically atrocious Japanese they went above and beyond making me understand how everything worked as well as assisting me with my ventures outside of the onsen. They have two e-bikes available for rent which I rode to the next station on the minobu line so I could visit the school that was used in the anime as well as get a taxi to take me to Lake Shibere, from episodes 6 and 7 of season one. It was my first time in Japan, being the only foreigner at the hotel for the two full days, I only visited the baths once however the facilities are amazing and I plan on going back to use the Onsen more."

"It is quite an old hotel, but nature around is excellent! I have experienced some inconvenience because the showers and toilets are common on the floor, but it is inherent to all classic Japanese hotels. Anyway, the hosts were very kind and hospitality. And dinner and breakfast is above all praise! Just amazing"

"There were many foreign guests, and I felt that they were making an effort to promote Japanese culture. You can enjoy the view of the garden from the bath and dining room. We changed the check-in schedule from the beginning, but they readily agreed to it. During breakfast, I was fascinated by the peaceful swimming of Nishikigoi in the pond. Participating in the morning shift is thrilling on the dark streets at night. I had to give up on the summit of Mt. Minobu this time because I couldn't see the sign and took the wrong route, and it was cold and rainy, and visibility was poor, but it was a good opportunity to refresh myself. thank you"

"Good for relaxation, very good onsen The room is spacious but quite old The room is near the smoking area, so there is a cigarette smell in the room"

"A good ryokan with onsen. Good service, spacious room with traditional Japanese futoras instead of a bed, varied breakfast and excellent onsen - both public and private. Of the minuses - location (50 minutes by bus from Kawaguchiko, which runs very rarely) and the lack of a cooler with cold/hot water (but this is more due to the traditional nature of the hotel). It's a pity that we were unlucky with the weather - it rained both in the evening and in the morning, Fuji was not visible. Otherwise, everything is fine."

"This is the best hotel in Lake Shoji. We had a view of Mt. Fuji right from our window—absolutely stunning. It was the best morning view I’ve ever experienced. For getting to the hotel, we recommend driving. It’s very convenient, and you’ll enjoy breathtaking scenery along the way. The room was very clean and spacious—perfect for couples. The staff were incredibly nice and made us feel very welcome. We loved everything about this hotel and will definitely be back! ❤️"
