Taiya Ryokan

The proprietor is absolutely amazing—probably the most affable host I've ever encountered. The place itself offers an authentic Japanese experience, providing a much more genuine connection with the culture than your typical hotel. Considering the affordable nightly rate, it makes for an exceptionally cost-effective stay.

Despite my enthusiastic recommendation, it's important to note that the place may not be suitable for everyone, especially those seeking elaborate decor or Instagram-worthy hotels. The location is somewhat unconventional, nestled in an eclectic industrial area surrounded by old, one-story buildings. However, the abundance of convenience stores and restaurants within easy reach helps compensate for the less-than-ideal setting.

Friendly helpful staff with limited English Good onsen Fresh pyjamas and bed making daily Green tea with teapot and thermos

Bit of a crappy town

The view of mount Fuji was great. The staff was impeccable. They were so nice and helped us a lot! Would definitely recommend this stay for the staff alone if you need help with getting things sorted when for example going to mount Fuji.

The location was fine, the town itself just isn't that special.

Nice old traditional Ryokan with a somewhat private small onsen which is really wonderful. The room is spacious, wifi worked very well and the staff is very kind and helpful! There is a common area with a fridge and water dispenser for free use.

Check-out time is a bit early with 09:30 am but was no problem for us.

I loved the atmosphere of the hotel. Traditional with an old Japanese room. They also leave you traditional clothes and tea. The truth is that a very interesting experience. The staff is very friendly

Free parking at the rear. One bath on the main level alternated between men and women. Extremely friendly proprietor. Very welcoming and friendly. This felt real. I look forward to going back.

Great place, will definitely book again sometime

No private bathroom, but the 24h public onsen definitely makes up for it

The staff were super nice. The room was very comfortable.
