Fujisan Ryokan - Annex Nambu Onsen Kokoro no Toki Jusan Gatsu

I visited during cherry blossom season because I wanted to try the famous Shirozaru-no-Yu (standing bath). “Jusangatsu” was wonderful in both the baths and the meals. The in-Room bath was especially great—spacious with excellent water quality, and even with the doors fully open, well-maintained screens kept insects out, which was a big relief for someone who doesn’t like bugs. The entire Room was unified in white, impeccably clean, and very comfortable. Thanks to the Diamond member benefit, I was also able to enjoy a long stay and fully indulge in Onsen time. As for amenities, there are no bottled skincare items such as lotion provided in the Room, so if you need them, I recommend bringing your own. It was also fun to have a beer after bathing in the lounge and chat with other guests. This is an Accommodation I would love to visit again. Thank you very much for your hospitality. (And special thanks to the young and sincere male staff member who helped me charge my electric vehicle!)

This Accommodation beautifully blends a traditional hot-spring retreat with modern Facilities. The main building evokes a nostalgic travel atmosphere, and walking along the corridors lets you fully enjoy the feel of an old-style therapeutic hot-spring inn. Another highlight is spending time in the main-building lounge, enjoying complimentary beer or wine while watching the river flow. One of our main purposes for this trip—the Shirozaru-no-Yu bath—was especially memorable, and the other large public baths were also very appealing. The contrast in character between the new building and the main building was fascinating. Both the Room and dining area are modern, so it seems likely to be popular with younger guests as well. The meals were delicious yet gentle on the body, with a sense of refinement. Highly recommended when visiting Chuson-ji Temple. It would be even better if there were women’s amenities provided in the Room.
