Teiensaryo Yamanakako

We decided to try a Ryokan for 1 night. Keep in mind this is a rating for Ryokan. Room: The description shows shared baths, but our room had a toilet and sink. The showers are shared and are located with the bath (onsens) and there are 2 for 5 rooms. There is no hot water in the room sinks. We were there during winter and the toilet/sink area and the sitting areas get too cold. The mini-split can't keep up with keeping the room warm unless you close off those rooms. The futons are very thin so if you have a bad back, you will not sleep well. They also enter your room to set up the futons during dinner so keep in mind, this level of service is common and normal I would presume. Meals: I wouldn't recommend staying at a Ryokan unless you did the half board. The meals are amazing. A lot you will not like, but its traditional Japanese. The service during dinner was the best we've had. Conclusion - the meal and service at this hotel greatly overshadows the rooms, which to be honest should not be compared to a 4 star hotel. Great experience for 1 night.

The room is very clean and the onsen bathhouses are wonderful. And a great traditional Japanese breakfast to top it off👍

The staff was absolutely amazing, great breakfast and scenery. Really was an experience in its self! Wish we could have stayed longer

Very helpful staff, we did stay for one night unfortunately, if we could stay another a night it would have given us the opportunity to rest and enjoy the surrounding area some more. Very peaceful and tranquil, the Hippopo boat ride was fun.

Super fun place, very traditional. We had some trouble finding it as the provided address wasn't exact. The manager spoke some English and was very helpful. We had to postpone our hike to mount Fuji because of a storm, but the manager offered to drive us to a view point after the weather cleared up. He also offered to book us a shuttle to our next destination. The included half-board was great! Awesome place in a small little town.
