Hotel Kami no Yu Onsen

As this was probably the cheapest Plan, the Room amenities weren’t anything special, but considering the price it was reasonable. The place was kept clean and I was able to stay comfortably without any inconvenience (the extension phone line cutting out at times, and the older sink making a “gurgling” sound when running hot water were just part of the charm).I saw recent Reviews mentioning the bath temperature, but it seems that feedback has now been reflected. I truly appreciate the thoughtful consideration so guests aren’t put at a disadvantage.The paid private bath is of course great, but I especially liked the atmosphere of the free private bath. It felt like staff-made touches added a special sense of occasion.The interior—likely from the Showa to early Heisei era—has been preserved without being stripped away, creating a nostalgic and comforting vibe. The service was genuinely very polite, and I had a pleasant stay. Highly recommended for anyone whose main purpose is enjoying the baths!

We stayed as a three-generation family: my parents in their 80s with weak legs, myself, and three children in their 20s. We had a room with a view of Mt. Fuji, but unfortunately, the weather was cloudy. However, the mountain ridges were clear and the scenery was beautiful. The room was spacious enough to lay out futons for six people comfortably. One slight disappointment was that the futons were already laid out at check-in, so we couldn't fully appreciate the room's size. It also made it difficult to reach the window without squeezing through narrow spaces, which worried me about my parents tripping over them. I would have preferred if the futons were laid out during dinner time.The onsen experience was fantastic! We enjoyed both the large public bath and private baths like the cave-style and egg-shaped ones. Playing table tennis in the lobby added to our onsen experience; we even had matches between kids and grandparents.Above all else, the meals were absolutely delicious! It was a full-course Japanese menu where every dish tasted amazing—we left completely full!Although some facilities showed signs of age, everything was well-maintained and clean. Even using an old-fashioned refrigerator brought nostalgic charm from another era.It’s an accommodation we’d love to visit again!
