The private onsen is reversed for an hour

This is a very cute little guest house. The room was super cozy with a view on the lake. The host was very friendly. free bike rental was perfect.

The showers were only available in the morning from 730 to 9. An evening shower would have been great

It’s beautiful. Along the lake. We walked and a got a clear view of Mt Fuji. I like the bath tub. It is shared. You can reserve a time a lot for a bath with your partner. You have to just sign up in the morning. She has 5 bikes up for grabs. Just politely ask her. She’s more than happy to loan them out to you. The bath tub are was HOOOTTT and it would melt any ache or pain you have. For those that haven’t been to a ryokan or onsen. It’s an experience. 10/10 recommend. If you are next to some stranger showering. It’s no big deal. There’s a sense of a meditative state. I stayed somewhere else it was very public. And it was my first time experience public showering. But it wasn’t bad once you take care of business. This location allows a reservation of time slot. If you’re shy. Highly recommend. Overall. I love this place.

There is nothing to complain about. The experience was phenomenal.

The place in general is nice. The employee is nice. She does not speak English but uses the automatic translator to help. You have the freedom to enter and exit and move around without feeling watched.

I booked a family room for four people, but the site, due to a mistake from it, I do not know what it was, booked the room for two adults and omitted the two children. This matter caused me inconvenience from the reservation site. The room had a shared bathroom, but the price is no different from the room with a private bathroom. The place is classified as A guest house, but there is no kitchen where you can cook. There is a dining room with hot water, free coffee and tea. The website puts information that there is a breakfast of 1,000 yen per person. But this was not available. Grocery store is about 30 minutes away on foot.
