Ryutakuzenji Syukubo Shiun

Simply excellent!

Reviewed By 1760022

As has been written previously, the temple has been run by the same family for 600 years. The chief priest, Tendo Akitsuki, is the 35th generation of the once samurai family (the kanji for "samurai" is a person and a temple). The temple is extremely well-kept, with a beautiful carp pond where one can see at least three jinmen koi (carp with human-like faces). To stay here is unlike other temple stays. The guest house is quite impressive and, again, very well-kept. On arrival, Akitsuki-sensei stood quite patiently whilst we unloaded our baggage from the car, and then led us into the grand entrance. We had two of the three rooms available. Both were quite spacious and everything looks quite new. The tatami mats were spotless (even after we left!). Coffee, teas and snacks were available free of charge in the bar area, which is open all day. Beer, spirits, sake are all available on an honor system at very reasonable pricing. Dinner was inexpensive, at just 2,500 yen per person and consisted of Gunma beef sukiyaki and tempura. My two-year old grandson's meal was free. After dinner we went to the bar area where Akitsuki-sensei entertained us for a couple of hours until it was time for him to leave. We stayed on drinking and talking to a couple who had taken the third room. For those interested, there is a zazen (meditation) session from around 6.30 am. We didn't take part but my daughter was disappointed to have missed it. She will certainly take part on our next visit. Breakfast was at 7.45 and we left by 9 to visit Haruna Jinja. As a note, bicycles are available, again free of charge, for those wishing to explore the surrounding area, and I understand you can be picked up from the station if you go by train. We were sorry not to have seen Akitsuki-sensei again before we left. He is friendly and humorous, as are the staff (family, I would assume). A place to definitely revisit.

Shukubo Nobori

Nobori, a Ryokan to Remember

Reviewed By lars706

This Ryokan is nothing short of an amazing experience. If you visit in February you will find your Zen by embracing the cold outside and inside the Ryokan (nonetheless a pair of ski trousers and a down jacket will come handy ;) ) The food is served at 8:00 and 18:00, and is an amazing journey into Japanese traditional cooking. Different tastes and textures. If you are not too scared of trying new things, this is for you. The rooms are immaculately clean and the small Onsen (a large hot tub) perfect for heating you up after a nice hike in the surrounding mountains. Mitake Station is 2 hours from Tokyo central via Ome. I warmly recommend the walk through Mitake town and up through the forest on a mountain road with 800 numbered cedar trees. There is no WLAN offered in the hotel but I managed to receive the Mitake-san-Ome WLAN in the room. All in all, just the Zen experience I was hoping for.

Mitakesanso

Very traditional nice and calm Tatami Hotel in the mountains

Reviewed By Hartmut W

A nice small village on top of Mitake Mountain (Mitake San). Still belongs to Tokyo but totally country side with nice hikes. Rooms are neat and clean. Food is excellent. All very true Japanese traditional style and not many tourists. Mostly Japanese. They have a nice hot spring too. Super Quite place.

泊まらなくても日帰り入浴、食事ができます

Reviewed By Expedition802957

御嶽山の神社の手前にあるこちらの旅館では、泊まらなくても入浴と食事ができます。御嶽神社の近くには、まともな食事処がないのでお勧めです。蕎麦膳に生ビールがついて2000円足らずで入浴できるお得なセットもありました。

Houjukaku

家庭的なおもてなし最高!

Reviewed By kotetu723

宝寿閣は、コロナで長期休業開けもあり凄く気を使って頂いたようにみえました。お部屋も密にならないようにと1日2組を限度で予約を受け付けているらしく私達は6名でしたので貸し切りで宿泊させていただきました。色々丁寧に説明・声かけがありおもてなしはとても良かったと思います 帰りはおじいさまの火打ち石で私たち1人々々に安全を祈願していただけて有り難たく嬉しい出来事でした お風呂も明るくて綺麗でした 今回だけかもしれないですが、バスタオルがプランで付いているのといないのがありはっきりとHPでわからなかったので、宿泊者には用意があると記してあると持ち物が増えずに良かったかなと感じました

Shukubo Komadori Sanso

Nice place with great views

Reviewed By Whose_Third

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars but but but the negative points somehow seems too big for me. Cons 1) Check in time was late (3:00pm)and check out time was too early (10:00am) 2) Extra cost for meal for people with food restrictions (dinner): while the cost for a regular meal was ¥2160. Being a vegan I had to pay ¥4320 which I think is extremely pricey and the food was nothing special. Vegetarian meals are ¥3240 but the dishes served contain bonito stock which I think contradicts the idea of vegetarianism. Pros 1) Spacey rooms 2) Nice bath 3) Good breakfast 4) Nice view from the rooms

昔ながらのお宿でヘルシーな食事

Reviewed By mangomoore

宿自体は民宿よりはいいかなというレベルなので過大な期待はしない方がいいですが、薬膳料理のヘルシーさは最高でした。山歩きしてゆっくりお風呂に入って(薬草風呂もなかなか良いです)、ヘルシーなご飯食べれば心が洗われると思います。宿のスタッフ(家族経営だと思いますが)は家族的な接客です。

風情のあるオーベルジュ

Reviewed By himuran2002

近場で短い夏休みを過ごそうと大山に行くことに。宿坊に一度泊まってみたいと思い、日帰りできる場所ですが登山の後一泊することにしました。お食事が美味しいとは聞いていたのですが、予想を遥かに超えるお料理で大満足でした。建物は古いというお話でしたが、お部屋が広くてとても風情があり、トイレはきれいに改修されていて居心地が良かったです。何より宿の方のきめ細やかなおもてなしがありがたく、ぜひまた行きたいと思います。

素敵な宿

Reviewed By michi123456

大山登山マラソンは中止になってしまったが、予約したこちらには予定通り宿泊。前回と同じ広い角部屋が素敵だった。豆腐料理メインの夕食は量が多く、野菜もたっぷりなので、しし鍋などオプションはなくてよいかも。機会を作ってまた泊まりたい宿である。
