Ryokans in Minobu

The location is amazing. Close to main shrine as well as small town. Room was clean, food was absolutely amazing and filling. There is a possibility to reserve a private bath (for free) that reinvigorates you. The stay and the atmosphere is really unique with authentic temple lodging. Would 100% come back

Clean, great quality food and matresses. Knowledgable hosts. Great control of allergy food.

We had an amazing two nights at Habanobo. Ken and his family made us feel so welcome and learning about Buddhism from Ken was very interesting. Minobu is a beautiful and peaceful area and Ken gave us some excellent tips on walks in the area. The temple is very well kept, and our room was very large with lovely views. The breakfast and dinner was excellent and very carefully prepared and presented. Would love to go back one day!

Well, I havent seen such polite and helpful staff in my lifez thanks for the wonderful stay! Worth every penny

My mum and I stayed for two nights in this hotel and it was a wonderful stay. As we got off the bus the wonderful owner came and greeted us and welcomed us with tea and check in instructions. We were fortunate enough to have clear sky and the reflection on the lake of Fuji San is incredible. The room had the most amazing view of Fuji San, space, comfort and amenities. The lake location has two small cafe/restaurants that we visited. We also had one dinner in the common area, as the restaurants close early, again with an amazing view.They also sell drinks and snacks/ramen in reception too. The onsens are open until late and are very wonderful. A gorgeous panoramic 1 hour hike can be found 5 minutes walk from the hotel. All in all the stay was very lovely, the most memorable take away has to be the kind staff who were lovely to chat too, attentive and kind. The owner, a wonderful man who made us feel most welcome in his hotel. Would love to visit again.

It was perfect. Beautiful breakfast and dinner and I mean it was BEAUTIFUL. Lake Shoji is very quiet and tranquil compared to Lake Kawaguchi. The rooms offer unobstructed view of Mt Fuji.

Quite conveniently near Fujinomiya Station (less than 10min walk), good for those who don’t drive. Very spacious, clean, and cosy traditional Japanese-style rooms with tatami floors and absolutely comfortable futon beds. High quality service from the staff who were very friendly, courteous and hospitable, even when we couldn’t speak Japanese and English was also minimal for them, they still did their very best. Just using phone translators can be useful! The private bath is free and had a nice outdoor bath with a view of Mt Fuji if lucky on a clear day! The inclusive breakfast was also traditionally Japanese and a true Japanese experience. It is a small family style ryokan with only less than 10 rooms, so it felt very homely rather than a commercial stay. There are also nice eateries nearby and a convenience store which is close to Fujinomiya Station. You can easily get to tourist spots like Omiya-Yokocho or Shiraito Falls from this stay as well. We arrived past the check-in time at 11pm (check in was until 9pm) and the staff was still still waiting at the entrance for our arrival with the footwear meant for us at the doorstep, even worrying that we were not going to arrive and forfeit the stay. The staff even urged us to quickly use their private bath while the water was still warm enough, and it was already past the bath’s opening hours. So overall the experience is exceptional and really worth the price as well!

Very close to Mount Fuji by bus or car. Good city to experience what was Japan decades ago, very laidback. The staff are awesome very helpful and accommodating!
