Featured Hotels near Furusato Bunka Denshokan, Minami-Alps

The hotel staff 々 is kind anyway. This time I stayed with my mother for 10 nights. Very gentle, such as the guide to the tourist spot and how to spend in the hotel, and my mother and I were able to stay comfortable. Mt. Fuji from the window was also great.

As someone who often stays at Dormy Inn The accommodation experience in Kofu this time was quite satisfactory. Very comfortable to live in The hot springs and breakfast at Dormy Inn have never let me down. Breakfasts in restaurants in different regions will have special dishes from that region. For example, here in Yamanashi, it’s Tatsuki In addition to thicker noodles, there are also many vegetables This hotel is about 7 minutes away from Kofu Station, and there are many restaurants in between. So the location is pretty good

The barrels, caves, and * reserved hot springs can be used on a day trip. You can rent it for 50 minutes for 3,000 yen. There is a stamp card, and if you use it 4 times, the 5th time will be free. I had the impression that the Taru Onsen was warmer than the others and easy for children to enter. The cave onsen is so large that even 10 people can still fit in (3 people felt very luxurious). The *hot spring has a*-shaped low-temperature sauna outside, and it warms you up, but it was cold in the middle of winter, so I recommend barrels or caves in the middle of winter.

Suitable for family travel. There is nothing to turn around. It’s just a matter of staying at the hotel. The garden design is great. Suitable for friends to rest. Stayed for a few days. The hotel is very intimate because we chose Monday. Three rooms were set. As a result, we all upgraded a large room like a parent. The second floor is beautiful! Do not choose a room with its own hot springs. Recommended to go to the big bath. Great outdoor and indoor connection. Old people can also go without wind. Very comfortable. We hope to have dinner together. Specially prepared for a private room. If you have time, I still want to stay here for a few more days!

The parking lot is in front of the room, there is a staircase that can enter from multiple places, a receptionist with a lobby and breakfast reception place, the room is clean and there is a shop nearby to eat.

Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan has a lot going for it, but a few things detracted from the overall experience - many of which are not the fault of the ryokan itself, but it's worth noting. We've stayed at tons of top onsen ryokans throughout Japan, but what intrigued us most about visiting Keiunkan had to do with its history - it's officially recognized as the oldest continually operating inn/hotel in the world. It was established in 705 A.D., and has been run by the same family which is in its 53rd generation. That alone had us excited. The fact that the Suite that we booked - the ”special room Kitadake,” with its top floor corner location and free-flowing open-air outdoor Onsen (natural hot springs) bath, had us giddy with excitement. The two primary downsides are its location (and surrounds) and lack of any historical vibe. First, it’s in the middle of nowhere. Usually, that would be fine, but there is nothing to see and do within 30 minutes (driving) of the ryokan. Minobusan (and Minobusan Kuon-ji Temple) are about a half-hour away, but not really a must-do. Aside from that… nothing. Also, along the way there, all we saw were trucks after big trucks (hardly any cars) carrying gravel/rocks. And all along the Hayakawa River, there were mounds of sand and massive boulders that either were excavated by the trucks or were dumped there. And then there were tons and tons of quarries. And lots of road construction, with construction staff managing traffic every 5 minutes or so (the roads were one lane each way, naturally.) It was dusty, and the river was not picturesque at all. We later learned from our room attendant that Japan is building a Magnetic Levitation Train with much of it planned to run underground, so there was a ton of work in the area in building the tunnel that would pass through Shizuoka and Yamanashi. This will continue until at least 2027, so this is something to be mindful about. Secondly, if you didn't know that Keiunkan was originally established in 705AD, you would not have any sense of Keiunkan being an old, historic property. This has to do with a massive typhooon which completely devastated the property (and the entire area) about 60 years ago, and all of the then-exhibited items from antiquity (scrolls, ceramics, paintings, etc.) were also lost. That said, this is not unusual in Japan, where typhoons, fires and earthquakes are the norm, and Keiunkan was probably rebuilt at least 8 times over the course of its history. Still, it's a shame that no trace of its historic past is evident to guests when staying at the ryokan. FYI, the current building was built a few miles away from the original location in 1997, and let's just say it is not exactly an architectural beauty. It's also a rather large property by ryokan standards, with 37 total rooms. This can be a plus, what with Keiunkan having quite a few public Onsen options on site - something that only a handful of much smaller luxury ryokans can offer on the same scale. As a ry

About 10 years ago, when I stayed at Toyoko Inn in front of Himeji Station, I also made a membership card with a face photograph for 1500 yen. However, I also decided to keep my luggage at the time of the stay, and since then, I decided not to use Toyoko inn. However, I had to stop at Kofu because of my work, and I stayed for 10 years this time. First of all, the check-in was set up from 16 o'clock, and despite the corona ridge, about 10 people were waiting in the lobby until 16 o'clock. On the unit bus, I was surprised at the small toilet seat in the toilet, tired of the shower curtain smelling, and at night I was not sleeping with the loud sound of the wall clock in the room and removed the battery. I instruct people in the company to take other hotels. I will not use it for a while again. APA, Richmond, Alpharwan, etc. are more comfortable. By the way, the south exit of Toyoko-in Kofu Station is used for isolation of corona infected people.

I booked from the reservation site and stayed for 10 nights. Recently, the hotel has been smoking cessation throughout the building, but this hotel has a non-smoking floor and a smoking floor. I will stay for 10 nights, so I don't smoke I chose non-smoking and made a reservation. However, if you choose a room and proceed with the reservation, you will be in a smoking room for some reason if you don't choose non-smoking again. You can even start booking in a non-smoking room. Repeated, repeated, and continued to choose, it was a reservation for a smoking room. I didn't change to a non-smoking room for 10 nights. Nothing was displayed in the smoking room, it was a non-smoking room, non-smoking room and non-smoking room over and over again, and it was a non-convincing reservation site. The public bath was great.
