They serve very delicious meals. My favorite is the small but nice open-air bath. We go here and there every year as a group of four 60th birthday ladies...It's been a long time since we took a bath, made noise and laughed like we were on a school trip~This is an inn I would definitely like to visit again. Thank you very much ♥

It was my first time staying at a pension, and it was very relaxing and nice.The room was also well-maintained and had a clean feel.Both dinner and breakfast were delicious.You can have a second helping of rice for dinner or bread for breakfast.It's also fun to look at the fish in the aquarium while eating.There are 3 baths, including an open-air bath, so I don't think it will be crowded.Best of all, the owner was very friendly, and while we were chatting about various things, we ended up talking about bringing some water home with us.I got 2 cups of Politan (I brought my own) (lol)It seems that everything is pumped up from 60 meters underground, so I went home right away and made a cup of coffee, and it was amazing.I was also told about a viewing spot for Mt. Fuji, so I went there early in the morning and was able to take some great photos.I'm glad that my first pension was Blue Ribbon.

I made a reservation based on the reviews on Google.It was a really comfortable pension, and even though I had just arrived, I was already thinking about when I would stay next.The master advised me that it would be better to go for a walk early in the morning as Mt. Fuji tends to get cloudy in the summer, so I was able to see beautiful Mt. Fuji and Lake Yamanaka!I would like to stay again.

I love touring pensions and have been to many different ones, but this Blue Ribbon is my favorite!First of all, the owner (whom I affectionately call old man lol) is the best. Thank you very much for talking with me! They are a really kind and cute couple.I took a bus from Gotemba Outlet to Asahigaoka Bus Terminal, then walked to the pension. The nearest bus stop is "Fugakusou-mae", but I remember that it was infrequent.It's about a 30-minute walk from Asahigaoka Bus Terminal, but there's a nice cafe along the way, so it was a good way to get some exercise while taking a break.When I told them that I would be taking public transportation, they offered to pick me up and drop me off, and they took my word for it and dropped me off at the nearest bus stop on the way back.There is a tour bus that leaves in front of Fugakuso, so I was able to see plenty of sightseeing such as the flower fields and Benifuji hot springs.The common areas and rooms of the pension were sparkling clean and we had a very comfortable stay. There are books and Othello in the living room, so you can enjoy pension life to the fullest.The bath is also really great! I really appreciate the system that allows you to come in whenever you want as long as there is space, rather than having to make a reservation in advance. The open-air bath surrounded by nature was very soothing. I also appreciate being able to take a bath in the morning. Usually I can only enter once at night...And the rice was really delicious!The sauce on the steak was especially delicious. The coleslaw was also delicious and I was impressed.At breakfast, I was also very attentive and offered refills of bread.Because it was in the forest off the road, it was very quiet and I was able to enjoy nature to the fullest. You can wake up in the morning and take a walk while listening to the chirping of birds, and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and feel refreshed.Looking back, I think it was a good pension, and I would definitely like to visit again ^^

It's fun to see the well-maintained aquariums here, and the most interesting part was the open-air bath with a handmade waterfall!You can just stare at it. . .

I have stayed at about 30 pensions, but Blue Ribbon is my favorite.The food my wife makes is absolutely delicious. I think that dinner is worth more than 10,000 yen.Also, the cleaning is thorough and you can stay with peace of mind.I don't like the way the bed mattress sags, so that's the only reason I lowered the star.

I came here with my family after reading the reviews! This pension is very close to Lake Yamanaka. There is a parking lot.The area around the pension is very quiet and you can spend a relaxing time. Even the small children seemed to be having fun.The pension rooms and toilets are also very clean. After all, the open-air bath is one of the best among the pensions I've been to. While soaking in the bathtub, I was able to enjoy the art created using nature in the open-air bath.I was satisfied because the meal courses were large enough to fill my stomach. The aquarium in the pension's dining space is amazing and you can enjoy it while eating delicious food. This is also a pension that I would definitely like to visit.

I stayed for one night with a smelt fishing plan. Delicious food prepared by a friendly owner and his wife with a lovely smile. I’m glad it came with rice~♡I enjoyed looking at the aquarium in the living room, the private waterfall bath, and the beautiful room, all of which were comfortable and very satisfying.Breakfast was also delicious.I also caught a lot of smelt p(*^-^*)q
