The room was very spacious and the private onsen bath is a luxury you can really get used to, but in the end I think it was not worth the price. The hotel itself is very beautiful but Kawaguchiko is a rather depressing place. There is the remarkable lake but the town is quite depressing and from most of it... More

When we arrived the front gate was closed with a sign in Japanese stating the Onsen was closed due to maintenance. Even though we had prearranged bookings they had neglected to give us any notice of this. After roughly an hour of wandering around aimlessly in the cold December night with the assistance of a very friendly local, we were... More

From the moment my family was picked up at the cute little railway station to the time we had to say our goodbyes, our stay at Onsenji Yumedono (pronounced "you-may-don-o") Ryokan was an unforgettably enjoyable one. I tell all my friends, "you may know it, or you may don't know it, but Yumedono is the best!" We were blessed to... More

To begin with the staff were so friendly and helpful as they picked us up from the train station and then dropped us back on our way home. they were there late at night when we arrived and spoke enough english. sleeping on the floor was not something we were used to but we were able to layer them up...

Each Yumedono room has its own garden with onsen that you can jump in anytime you want, be it late at night or right after you wake up. A clean room filled with tatami mats gives you a truly classical Japanese experience. Meals are served in your room where you can enjoy complete privacy once you check in. I recommend... More

We stayed in a Japanese room at Hotel Yumedono. Service was spectacular despite the language barrier. Nevertheless, the staff at Yumedono were extremely helpful as they tried their best to communicate with us in bits and pieces of English. The whole ambiance was quite and peaceful. Although we were there on a cloudy day and could not see Mt. Fuji,... More

We stayed here first time and this has gave us a most memorable stay experience. Hotel management is very kind to pick first from the JR upon arrival and he also sent us to the JR when departure under his compliment. Indeed a good experience staying in a traditional japanese room "Sakura", making up the futon bed by ourself and... More

The price may jump out at you but let me tell you this is an exclusive place with impeccable service. We stayed for 2 nights over Xmas Eve and Xmas in 2011. The room just wows you with its typical Japanese ryokan beauty while the private onsen under the red umbrella is soothing and totally cool especially in winter. The... More

My wife and I booked this Onsen based on the reviews on Tripadvisor and I must say that I is one of the best experiences I have had in Japan. Onsenji is NOT a huge commercial complex and we stayed in one of the suites which came with our private onsen pool. The staff is amazingly helpful and the food... More
