Ryokan vacation rentals in Lake Yamanaka

very Worth it and nice place to staying

We had a beautiful stay in Kawaguchiko. The inn is a perfect space - a family home for generations, now serving a great purpose as a resting place for travellers. A beautiful space, with many rooms and accommodation for small or large groups. We felt like we were staying with old friends. The rooms are simple - tatami mats and futons - but functional and cozy. We had an unbelievable view of Mt Fuji from our bedroom, and the location is very well situated for activities, food and drinking. Bicycles were provided for a cycle around lake Kawaguchiko, and Tohru kindly provided a map of local recommendations, including some restaurants where we were able to find vegetarian food. Tohru and his family were incredibly kind to us, driving us to and from the station and even giving us some souvenir postcards of Tohru's photography in the local area. This is our favourite place to stay on our trip to Japan! Thank you Tohru and family!

It is a very spacious house, "I want to stay in Totoro!"The children were also delighted to play! We would like to stay there again (^ ^)

The room is exquisite and the facilities are very convenient.The host and staff have a friendly attitude, very close to Odawara station, convenient transportation, recommended to stay!

Tohru was an excellent host, he picked us up from Kawaguchiko station and dropped us off as well. He even gave us a map on his personal recommendations in Kawaguchiko. On our departure, he left us with a few postcards of pictures he had personally taken of Kawaguchiko. Regarding the room, it was as described in the listing and the bathrooms were very clean. I highly recommend his inn to anyone who wants to visit Kawaguchiko

We enjoyed our stay very much. The hostel was very clean and cozily furnished in Japanese style. The bathroom was very clean and the kitchen was even equipped with tea and coffee as well as dishes for the guests. We were also able to sleep well. However, the mattresses were very saggy and seemingly a little older. This could be an issue for people with back pain. However, this did not bother us personally. We would book the AirBnb again anytime.

Tohru was such a great host. He picked us up and dropped us off at the station, which was so kind. He always had a smile on his face and was so happy to point out all the best places to visit around the lake. Bikes were free to use and a great way to easily get around the Lake. The apartment is very close to the Lake as well as a handful of restaurants and shops. Perfect location for seeing Fuji. On our last morning Tohru kindly gifted us postcards with pictures of Fuji he had taken that morning, which was so thoughtful. Such a memorable experience! Would highly recommend. 10/10

We really enjoyed our stay, it was an amazing experience, very different and new for us, brought together what Japan really means, we only wished we could have stayed longer. The dinner is highly recommended if you would like to relax, have a drink and chat with other guests.

Shogo’s place felt like home, it was a beautiful experience. The room was perfect, with an amazing view of Mount Fuji. Shogo is a fantastic host, I recommend his place if you want to enjoy Kawaguchiko.

Our stay at Shogo's place was wonderful. The location and house were beautiful and a very special thanks to the kind lady who checked us in and cooked us breakfast in the mornings. Green and red bus lines were very close to the house making it a convenient location and the views of Fuji were just incredible! One of the most beautiful Airbnbs I've ever stayed in. Five stars!

Awesome!!! It's so nice to meet the blues when you check in!The Host is also super nice, all over the world, and you can take a soup, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good

Our stay here was amazing! The hosts spoke very little english but were amazing at using google translate, they explained everything about using onsen respectfully etc which made us feel much more comfortable, and made our stay so much more peaceful. Everything was clean and organised, we got a lovely free breakfast and had a traditional dinner which was a very cool experience. The host was even lovely enough to drop us off at the station the next day! Will absolutely recommend this to anyone coming to Japan, great to spend a few days here to relax and unwind before heading home.

We were left speechless with our time here. It was the exact night we were looking for in terms of a traditional Japanese ryokan. From the food to the rooms to the onsen. Cannot recommend this place enough.

This is one of the best places I’ve stayed at. The onsen and traditional Japanese dinner were memorable. We also were able to see Mt Fuji from the window. Cherry blossoms were in bloom. It was quintessential.
