Hotels near Kunitama Shrine in Hayakawa

Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan has a lot going for it, but a few things detracted from the overall experience - many of which are not the fault of the ryokan itself, but it's worth noting. We've stayed at tons of top onsen ryokans throughout Japan, but what intrigued us most about visiting Keiunkan had to do with its history - it's officially recognized as the oldest continually operating inn/hotel in the world. It was established in 705 A.D., and has been run by the same family which is in its 53rd generation. That alone had us excited. The fact that the Suite that we booked - the ”special room Kitadake,” with its top floor corner location and free-flowing open-air outdoor Onsen (natural hot springs) bath, had us giddy with excitement. The two primary downsides are its location (and surrounds) and lack of any historical vibe. First, it’s in the middle of nowhere. Usually, that would be fine, but there is nothing to see and do within 30 minutes (driving) of the ryokan. Minobusan (and Minobusan Kuon-ji Temple) are about a half-hour away, but not really a must-do. Aside from that… nothing. Also, along the way there, all we saw were trucks after big trucks (hardly any cars) carrying gravel/rocks. And all along the Hayakawa River, there were mounds of sand and massive boulders that either were excavated by the trucks or were dumped there. And then there were tons and tons of quarries. And lots of road construction, with construction staff managing traffic every 5 minutes or so (the roads were one lane each way, naturally.) It was dusty, and the river was not picturesque at all. We later learned from our room attendant that Japan is building a Magnetic Levitation Train with much of it planned to run underground, so there was a ton of work in the area in building the tunnel that would pass through Shizuoka and Yamanashi. This will continue until at least 2027, so this is something to be mindful about. Secondly, if you didn't know that Keiunkan was originally established in 705AD, you would not have any sense of Keiunkan being an old, historic property. This has to do with a massive typhooon which completely devastated the property (and the entire area) about 60 years ago, and all of the then-exhibited items from antiquity (scrolls, ceramics, paintings, etc.) were also lost. That said, this is not unusual in Japan, where typhoons, fires and earthquakes are the norm, and Keiunkan was probably rebuilt at least 8 times over the course of its history. Still, it's a shame that no trace of its historic past is evident to guests when staying at the ryokan. FYI, the current building was built a few miles away from the original location in 1997, and let's just say it is not exactly an architectural beauty. It's also a rather large property by ryokan standards, with 37 total rooms. This can be a plus, what with Keiunkan having quite a few public Onsen options on site - something that only a handful of much smaller luxury ryokans can offer on the same scale. As a ry

I stayed here with my 16 year old son. We were looking for something very authentic Japanese. Kakurinbo was perfect. We stayed two days after arriving in Japan and it was a great peaceful quiet way to recover from jet lag. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms very clean and spacious. We had the garden view and enjoyed green tea each morning while watching the giant koi fish in the pond. The food was Delicious and artful in presentation. Even my 16 year old son who lives in frozen pizza and ice cream was happy with the food. The wine bath was a special treat and relaxing to soak each evening with a window to view the garden. Even the map they gave us on arrival was awesome not was very detailed and had so Lucy information that was useful as well as interesting. I was sad that the first day I lost mine but the gave me another. We went each morning to the temple service and I recommend to go. During the service a monk shows the incense bowls and invites people up to burn incense. The “map” explains how to do it and watch someone go up then don’t be shy and do it. Also don’t forget to do the water purifying outside. Again, the “map” explains. We also took the ropeway to the top and we’re blessed with a view of Mt.Fuji. Thank you for a memorable time my son and I will always cherish.

When you stop at the entrance of the hotel, the staff will pick you up and carry your luggage. The correspondence of the staff was good. It's a reasonable room, but the washroom was a little small with separate toilets, baths, etc. 々, but there is no problem with the water area. However, there are relatively steps when entering the toilet, and I'm worried that the elderly will fall asleep and take off their feet, especially at midnight. It's a low bed, but I slept comfortably. The scenery outside is good, but I wonder if it was a little negative that the screen door could not be moved. Well, it can't be helped because insects come in. Supper is buffet. If you are looking forward to the video with reference to 々, you may feel that it is surprisingly small? However, I am satisfied with myself because I have a good taste at a pinpoint. Yamame fish was just a signboard product, and even if I wasn't very good at grilled fish, I couldn't feel the bones so much and it was delicious. I rarely received two. The morning buffet is a menu with a different style from other hotels. The bread was abundant, and the croissant with mountain female fish was also delicious. It's also good that the staff distributed freshly baked croissants! The hot springs are replaced by men and women at night, but the basic style is the same. The dressing room is beautiful and has valuables lockers. The indoor bath is a sulfur spring of 36 degrees, and the alkaline spring of the lower joint hot spring next to it. The outside is an all lower joint hot spring, from lukewarm to hot water. The sulfur spring feels faint, but it smells because it blows away with a bubble bath and a jet bath, so it smells relatively. Therefore, when I put my back on the jet bus, the smell of sulfur doesn't fly very much, and it is regrettable. Was the service after the bath alcohol until dinner, some drinks until the drum festival, and ice cream until 22:00? The service after the bath itself is satisfactory, but I still wanted it to be released until around 23:00. It was a satisfying inn for me, who likes both sulfur smell and insensitive temperature.

The chartered and open-air baths are a delight! A small, health-oriented hotel offering hot springs and kaiseki cuisine prepared by hand

It is the first time to stay at an inn or hotel along the shojin lake. You can see shojin lake and Mt. Fuji from the room, and the scenery is very good. Especially when you sit in the zashiki and look at it, you can't see the road in front of the inn, there is nothing extra building, only the mountains, the sea and the lake are visible and it is a picture-like view. The room was already covered with futons. Wi-Fi is connected to the room. The toilet was the latest style with the lid open freely. The bath used the view rental bath on the first day. The guests can use it for free once per stay (30 minutes reservation system once). In the rental open-air bath, two people are put in the top, but the washroom is quite narrow and only one person can use it. There was a body soap, rinse in shampoo and soap. The dressing washroom area is not so narrow. The next morning, I went to the public bath (the hot spring name is Kamiku Onsen). The open-air bath is the size of a semi open-air bath. There was a washroom in the inner bath ６. There is no makeup water in the wash area. Dinner at the restaurant was set on the table except for rice miso soup, but every item seemed delicious and actually all delicious. The sake was 3000 yen for a wine bottle from Yamanashi, and if it was made into a white wine of Koshu grape of Manz wine, it was good for the dish. There were also 2100 yen for import & Yamanashi grape wine bottles. Breakfast was a balanced Japanese meal. It was good not to be able to bake eggs and bake cherry blossoms. The view from the shojin lake and Mt. Fuji restaurant at breakfast was also good. As I arrived, I went to this place as a private inn, but at the end, ”this is a hole in Fuji Goko. The scenery of Fuji and Lake is good, the meal is delicious, and the view from the hot spring is good. It was not a modern inn, but it was kept clean and was a good inn with outstanding views.

It was new and felt very clean. The public bath was also beautiful and I was able to take a very relaxing bath. The desk in the room was also perfect for doing some work. It was a very nice hotel with a restaurant. This time, I was glad that the hotel was close to my work, but it was far from Kofu Station, so depending on your purpose, the location might be inconvenient.
