Funayama Onsen

This Accommodation warmly welcomes solo travelers, and the person who picked me up at the station was calm and soothing.From the dining area, the Kawazu cherry blossoms were in full bloom right in front of me—it felt like a private cherry-blossom viewing.They also adjusted the air conditioning promptly when I asked.I had a very relaxing stay. Thank you.

Stayed at a quiet accommodation in Yamanashi and Shizuoka during the autumn foliage season. Located in a secluded area with no onsen town nearby, it offers tranquility as described.The room was neither too big nor too small, just right for two people. Most rooms face the garden, providing beautiful views. While the in-room refrigerator was empty, there was a vending machine corner at the end of the hallway where guests could freely take instant beverages, which was convenient.For meals, we opted for a standard course since my wife dislikes game meat. Every dish was delicious. The private dining setup allowed us to enjoy our meal while looking out at the garden—a thoughtful arrangement. The portions were slightly large for us, but leftover chestnut rice was kindly packed into rice balls for our late-night snack. Breakfast offered various options like porridge and other dishes, making it enjoyable.Although there were no private open-air baths attached to rooms, the large communal bath with an open-air section more than made up for it given the limited number of rooms available. Additionally, there were two reservation-free private baths that rarely seemed crowded; we often had them all to ourselves. The sound of water from a nearby dam felt like being near a waterfall—very soothing while soaking in the onsen. As it's cold spring water heated and filtered through circulation systems, it maintained an ideal temperature that allowed long soaks comfortably.The accommodation has been operating for about 100 years and this building itself has been around 30 years since its renovation but remains well-maintained and comfortable throughout our stay. Although I initially found their policy of automatically canceling reservations if check-in is after 5 PM somewhat strict when booking online—the staff turned out friendly upon arrival leaving positive impressions overall! Would love returning soon!
