Holiday Rentals in Minobu

the best staying experience that I had in my trip in Japan. The hotel is easily reachable by taxi or local bus from the Minobu train station. I booked rooms with toilets and they are nicely decorated with local tradition. The staff are generally fluent in English and have been very attentive to queries of guests. Very good breakfasts and dinners in traditional Japanese style. The spot is convenient for reaching the Kuon-ji temple to observe and listen to the morning prays. The mountains have multiple hiking options. After that, some snack in the local shops and a hot spring bath in the hotel are the best. The next morning, staying in the comfortable bed, I just don’t want to wake up. In short, highly recommended!

Amazing hosts (husband & wife) who saw that our every need was met (including little details like heating our room and the bathroom at the right times). Exceptional cooking (evening meal and breakfast were wonderful). Sato-san gave us an insider’s view of the wonderful Kyonji temple. This hotel and the temple are worth going out of your way to visit. Beautiful garden.

The entire experience was much more than expected. The head priest was exceptionally welcoming and inclusive. Extremely patient, generous, and gracious host. He spent a lot of time the following day with us. It is an experience my wife and I will never forget. There is a lot to see of the other temples and sights within walking distance,

Great experience of Japanese onsen, delicious dinner and breakasft buffet, great outdoor onsen, traditional rooms, not crowded. Ice cresm for free, mochi making and happy hour with footbath included. Lots to enjoy!

Actually booked this place by accident. I thought i had booked Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan. When i showed up to the hotel I thought i had booked, it was more elegant, and honestly more uppity than i was expecting. I sensed they were put off by my excited kids, and knew we'd be walking on eggshells the whole time. So i wasnt super upset when we learned I had accidentally booked another place 18 km away! I had been corresponding with the hotel operator by email, who seemed pleasant enough, but I hadn't the first clue what kind of place i had actually booked. So we were beyond excited when we arrived to find, what to my foreign eyes seemed like an absolutely authentic traditional japanese home. It looked like a movie set. The owner showed us around the property, then he went home. The kids and I high-fived! We got the traditional setting we had wanted, but we could relax alone on a mountainside. The setting is a tad rustic. I loved that about the place. Heating is by woodburning stove that you feed yourself (electric space heaters there as well). There is a full kitchen there, and what we didnt know ahead of time, is that there is primitive outdoor grilling/cooking facilities. That made a few confusing exchanges with the property operator suddenly make sense. Although it sounded in other reviews that possibly the property owner provided meat to be grilled, we had been asked to bring our own food. We didnt understand that that meant grillable items. But anyway, we loved the place. It would be perfect for a large group of 7, possibly more, to stay for more than one day and get big preplanned meals going on the woodfired grill.

A really lovely homestay, with delicious home cooked food and great company, I was made to feel really welcome.

Apart from the noise from the tatami room aircon unit everything else was perfect. I particularly liked the washing machine that one can choose temperature. The majority of washing machines here in Japan do not have that option.

Hospitality and friendly staff, beautiful view on Mount Fuji.

The interior architecture is incredible: the traditional compartmentalisation of all the rooms and super modernities are beautifully entwined.

My mum and I stayed for two nights in this hotel and it was a wonderful stay. As we got off the bus the wonderful owner came and greeted us and welcomed us with tea and check in instructions. We were fortunate enough to have clear sky and the reflection on the lake of Fuji San is incredible. The room had the most amazing view of Fuji San, space, comfort and amenities. The lake location has two small cafe/restaurants that we visited. We also had one dinner in the common area, as the restaurants close early, again with an amazing view.They also sell drinks and snacks/ramen in reception too. The onsens are open until late and are very wonderful. A gorgeous panoramic 1 hour hike can be found 5 minutes walk from the hotel. All in all the stay was very lovely, the most memorable take away has to be the kind staff who were lovely to chat too, attentive and kind. The owner, a wonderful man who made us feel most welcome in his hotel. Would love to visit again.
