There are no showers, only a bath available to take in the evenings in a private bath room

Very clean and beautiful relaxing experience

Stayed in May 2024

this is a home, so the walls are a little thin. we had neighbours in the next room who decided to chat rather loudly till 1+am and disturbed my rest as i was a little sensitive. no impact on my spouse who had headphones on.

we like that it is off the road location and therefore it was quiet. the futon were very comfortable and there were clear instructions to lay it on. host was very nice and it was a pleasant stay.

Amazing stay. The private onsen was always the highlight of our day. Room was in traditional Japanese style yet quiet and comfortable. The owner was so kind and lovely. We would definitely recommend to stay here for more than 1 night to truly relax and enjoy bicycling around the lake.

The beds were very hard.

The lady who ran it was super nice, and she made our stay more enjoyable. The public chat was also really nice, and I liked that you reserved the bath for your group, so you don't have to share with strangers.

It was a little too cold in night time.

The staff was very helpful with everything. The rooms and bathroom were spotless. We had a great time during our stay. You can also see Mt. Fuji from the front of the house.

It is a bit difficult to get to after getting off the bus from Tokyo with all the luggage. Understand that every room has designated bath time, but it would be nicer if we could have a bit longer bath time to enjoy especially when it's cold.

The host is very friendly and helpful. She arranged the room with a Mt. Fuji view for us and gave us all the tips about the area. Rental bicycles are available and the quality of their bicycles is excellent. Cycling around the lake is the best way to explore the area.

Best place to stay in the area, very clean and nice room and hot spring. We are very lucky to see some deers outside the house.

It’s a traditional Japanese home with a very friendly and helpful hostess. The bedroom was lovely & well-heated. The 45 minutes booked in the onsen was a real treat. The property is really close to the lake and to plenty of restaurants and convenience stores. There is a facility to use a microwave & a kettle in a dining area in the house.

No complaints!

The hostess honestly made the stay fantastic. Her attitude was so welcoming, she explained the facilities in simple Japanese for us, and gave us recommendations not only for the town, but for the Fuji area as well. I've stayed in a few ryokans before, but this was the best experience by far. We also had the Fuji-view room, which I recommend getting! We went in the late fall for viewing leaves in town, so it got quite chilly at night, but the room stayed toasty. I slept so well. The bath was also spacious, good amenities, and just the right amount of time to stay in.

The onsens are excellent. My son and myself have really great experience at Yabukiso. The whole facility is clean and comfortable. The location is great walking distance from the lake. Very quiet and yet some restaurants are walking distance. Highly recommended.

I would have liked to reserve bathroom time in the morning. Besides that, it was perfect.

The host was so genuine and kind.

The host was very nice and welcoming. Loved the bath room and the beautiful view of Fuji that we had from our room in the morning. Would definitely recommend to stay here.

The host was very kind, she made changes to her schedule to accommodate my check in after a tiring Mount Fuji climb. The place is very clean, and the view from the room is superb. The bathroom was very clean. I complained of a weird smell in the room and the host immediately let me change to another room. This is the perfect retreat, and I will definitely be back. Oh, I can see Mount Fuji when I’m brushing my teeth, when it’s not cloudy. It’s also walking distance to Lake Yamanaka.

We enjoyed the classical japanese room. The host was very friendly and helpful. Yabukiso is around 9 minutes from the closest bus station. From certain areas you can see Mt. Fuji from the house. We used the public bath from the house , rented a bike and had an overall nice experience near lake Yamanaka.

The host is such a lovely and kind woman. She helped us with our small issues we had after climbing Mount Fuji. Absolutely amazing is, that you are allowed to use the in-house onsen (privately). The room we booked was a traditional Japanese-style room.

Nice, comfy rooms. Private bath. Great service.

This place was so beautiful. The onsen was lovely and the staff were so warm and friendly. We would love to stay here again one day!

Our stay was short but very nice. The owner was super nice and kind. She was caring and made sure that we were aware of the surrounding sites and restaurants. Although we didn't have time to explore the area, we had a great stay at Yabukiso. We enjoyed the public bath a lot. Each group of guests get 45 minutes to use the "private" public bath and they cleaned the bath in the following 15 minutes. All the facilities were super clean and organized. We also enjoyed the traditional tatami room a lot. If you are looking for a quiet neighborhood to stay, I really recommend Yabukiso!
