I think the location is challenging for the first time visit. It's not an easily accessible honestly, however the landlord happily assist in calling for local taxi for the guest

The landlord - i assume - were so nice and flexible for us as we were under the difficulties of getting on the bus to the lake Yamanakako prior to the closing check-in time. So i did make a call to notice him in advance. And he were okay to allow us check-in late night also noting is to grab something before arrival in case we haven't had anything yet.

There was nothing I didn't like!

As someone traveling from the UK, I absolutely loved this property. It was very reasonably priced, the host was extremely friendly and spoke good English, and everything was clean and tidy.

Areas to improvement is to include a breakfast in the room rate which is not cheap in my opinion.

We like the homey feel and spacious space of the hotel. The owner is also quite friendly and has a good service mind.

I loved everything

I loved the theatre, games room, free bicycles for use and the fact that you can view mount Fuji form the room. The staff were super friendly and the breakfast was amazing.

The host went above and beyond to help us arrange transport and made sure our stay was comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and they even accommodated gluten-free diet. Stunning of Mount Fuji and the at the cafe were very good.

The breakfast was poor. I would not recommend it. The porch entrance was not maintained. There many broken tiles. We stayed in a standard family room as deluxe rooms were fully booked.

The facilities was good. Comfortable. The fire place, cafe and ambience was cozy and comfortable for a winter setting. It was still snowing during our stay.

Can't think of any.

One of the prettiness hotel we stayed in during our 1 week trip. Very spacious and cozy room, with both modern bed and futon. The place is well taken care of with a huge movie room and lots of other facilities - table tennis, playroom, garden. The onsen and Bath room was not huge, but definitely enough for the whole family, and u will hv it to ur own once u book it. Breakfast was nice. And they brew good coffee in their cafe as well.

The owner was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Being on the edge of a forest we saw wide deer one morning from our window.

The vibe of this guest house was excellent. The owner was super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great. We used the jacuzzi which was clean and refreshing and the media room, which was a cool projector home theatre!

Nil. It was fantastic. But one thing to take note is that the place of stay is rather far from the main road so driving would be recommended

The owner was very friendly and nice to chat to. And the coffee that he roasted is very delicious. Anyone who like a good ol' cuppa of coffee in the morning do give it a try! The place is very near Mt Fuji as well and depending on rooms you might be greeted by Mt fuji the first thing in the morning. Very nice place if you just want to be surrounded by nature and quietness.

Beautiful, serene, comfortable. Amazing location. Very helpful and gracious host.

Nothing really. It was as we expected. If you are by public transport you will need to walk for about 20 minutes.

The atmosphere in this place was really nice. It had Japanese style rooms and there was a little lounge/cinema with a projector, an onsen bath and we used the bicycles to get around the lake. These bikes are well maintained and a must if you are in that area. There is also an inhouse coffeeshop which does great coffees and other drinks.

The host is super warm and friendly. He made one of the best cafe latte, oat/soy milk option is available. The pizza and izakaya near the property were also excellent.

A little too far out and difficult to access via public transport.

Everything! Perfect service, fantastic food, rooms and amenities were extremely comfortable.

Great place to stay for leisure and for a short stay around Yamanakako. The place is fairly far from public transport (~20min of walk) so ideally a car would be desirable to access the place

Rustic and charming B&B, run by Tomoki-san. Loved the place as it felt like home away from home. The baths were awesome, along with the activities room. Fireplace was warming at night. BBQ was awesome as well, with Tomoki-san helping to arrange the grill and allowing us to eat indoors. It is a nice getaway from the usual crowds given its location at Yamanakako.

For person who is not familiar with Japan, there should be an explaination on what it meant by 'a shared bathroom.' In other parts of the world when Bathrooms are shared, it meant that the facilities are placed outside and the shower area will be in cubicles. However in Japan, the shower heads and the bath tub are in a same room for everyone to shared.

We arrived in the evening and hence didn't manage to enjoy the day time. From the exterior, it looks like a very cosy home. And from the moment I walked in, I feel the warmth of the furnace which was truly welcoming. There are two bath area where one operates from 5pm to 10pm (which you need to book in advanced and it will be solely dedicated to you and the other operates 24 hours a day and you are allowed to lock the room so that you don't have to share with other occupants unlike other hotels / accommodation in Japan. So to save time, both me and my husband were able to use the bathroom at the same time. The TV room has an awesome projector on the ceiling with Disney+, Netflix, YouTube etc. However you will need to book it in advanced for a 2 hours window. It has a coin-operated washing machine and dryer if you need to wash your clothes. Our room is the bedded type and it is bigger than those in Tokyo and it has a toilet and sink in the room. It was so warm and cosy and I wish I can stay in bed longer. The breakfast was a simple, salad, a cut of persimmons, sandwich and some spagetti and you have a choice to select 1 hot drink. Thank you to the staff at Ryosha Tsukiakari.

Almost same breakfast each day, but priced right. Nothing else close by. Little far from bus stop, slightly uphill, hard if you have heavy luggage.

Private bath, onsen. Hot, liked it. Free use of bikes. Laundry facilities, even soap provided. Host was very accommodating Great coffee . Priced right

This is not really a negative, and turned out to be more of a positive attribute...the property is about a ten minute ride/walk from the lakeside cafes etc, but then that is why it is so quiet and so beautiful among the forest. The lakeside is handy, sure, but busier. We enjoyed the rides to the lake on the free bikes, and in fact discovered some lanes to ride through to avoid the road, which was nice.

What makes this place special is that it is not a hotel - it is an inn, with a family feel, as if you belong there. Our first impression was that we would have preferred our own shower in the room, but on using the amazing bathrooms downstairs (which you can share or book a time), they have onsen/hot spa, with a view. We had an amazing time riding the free bikes around the lake with uninterrupted views of Mt Fuji, walks, sat in the lounge and read/watched a movie on the big screen, sat on the deck and had a local craft beer, played table tennis. The owner/manager is amazingly helpful and pleasant. While some of our other stays in Japan were in 'smarter' looking rooms, they did not have the welcoming family feel of Ryosha Tsukiakari. We would definitely stay there again (for longer and do more walks/rides).
