A quiet inn near Sake WaterfallThe rooms are spacious and the Showa-style rooms and inns are nice☺️The landlady was very friendly, and the food was cooked in a way that I could eat, so I ate it all.(Alcohol only canned beer, bottled beer, and sake)THE breakfast tasted good in the morning as well😃I ate it all.However, when I turned on the air conditioner in the room, it was very noisy.Well, since I was tired, I wouldn't worry about it if I fell asleep.The bath is small, but if you're alone, you can stretch your legs and take your time. sufficientIf you open the window, you can see the view.There is a parking lot in front of the inn, but be careful if you have a low vehicle as you will not be able to go up the hill.(My car couldn't do it (lol))In that case, go to a nearby free parking lot.I was able to do it slowly😃

The location is a little difficult to find, but the rooms and toilets are clean. The air conditioner and TV were perfect. The bathroom was also kept clean with circulation.Although I stayed without meals, the landlady was kind and accommodating, so I was completely satisfied. Definitely worth more than the price.

Visited on February 22, 2023.Stayed the night before for climbing Tanzawa.This is a quaint inn with a Showa feel. Although the baths are not hot springs, they are separated by gender and can be reserved for private use, so it was relaxing.Unfortunately, I couldn't see Shisui Falls because I had to leave early in the morning.

I used this hotel on a business trip, and it was a cold and selfish hotel until the end. His wife's attitude was cold, and she didn't give him any explanations about meals or baths. Even though I had made a reservation and checked in, I was forced to pay a deposit, and no one answered me when I checked out. He was so arbitrary and cruel that the customers didn't feel like there was any service at all. I think 8,200 yen including two meals for a business trip is too expensive for this hotel. If you don't want to serve customers, please go out of business. For reference, those who are going on a business trip to the Yamakita area are said to stay in the Gotemba area.I should have done that too.By the way, everything except the sashimi for dinner seems to be frozen ingredients. There is no homemade smell coming from the kitchen.

I received a courteous response from my wife. Dinner was also good.I often go golfing in Gotemba and Kanagawa, so I will use them again.

I stayed here on Friday, January 21st.If you go towards Shasui Falls, you will arrive at the inn.Check-in from 16:00 to check-out at 10:00. The landlady welcomed us.The room is a 10 tatami Japanese-style room with a toilet and sink. I'm glad you upgraded. The room was clean and the air conditioner was warm. The toilet has a heated toilet seat. I took a bath three times after checking in. It doesn't seem like a hot spring, but the temperature was just right and it felt so good that I was impressed. Actually, it seems like you can enter in the morning too! I couldn't go in in the morning because it seemed to have frozen.The bath is not reserved for private use. Separate for men and women. There are 3 showers and a bathtub that can accommodate about 6 people. Circulation type? My body warmed up nicely. The time to take a bath is not 24 hours, and it's not the busy season, so I finally told the landlady around 10pm. Do you want to discuss the bathroom with the landlady? The changing room is cold in the winter, so a kerosene hot air heater is installed. I didn't put it on myself.Meals are prepared in the dining hall. The Japanese and Western style hamburgers, seared horse mackerel and chawanmushi were all delicious. The miso soup had a good taste. It was 8,800 yen including two meals.I was able to meet the signboard cat on my way home. They saw me off in the smoking area outside.

The toilet has also been beautifully renovated and is Western style. There are no problems with the TV or air conditioner. I stayed there on a cold day, but the room was warmed by the air conditioner and the futon was fluffy so I slept well. In the morning, there was a cat curled up at the entrance.

Bunkakuso took care of us for our waterfall trip at Sunset Falls. The best way to get there is by taxi from Yamakita Station on the JR Gotemba Line. It takes about 5 minutes.If you come from Shin-Matsuda Station, it will take about 20 minutes and the taxi fare will be around 3,500 yen.If you are coming by car, get off at Oi Matsuda Interchange and head north on R225. Turn left at the end. West on R246. Cross Takizawa Bridge and immediately turn right to arrive. The entrance is wind style. The rooms are spacious and have the feel of an old-fashioned traditional inn. The landlady is also friendly and nice. There are two large halls, so it looks like it could be used for student training camps. There is a breezeway that looks like it was added later. I don't think they need a poster of a wanted criminal at the entrance. (I see it all the time, so it's unpleasant and it's your fault. I don't want to see photos of the Roppongi Beast Club. I'd like you to display beautiful landscape paintings or Lassen paintings or whatever, so I'd like you to display soothing paintings and photos.) On the cork board next to the entrance. There is a poster saying ``Knowledge for going to waterfalls''. This is an article by Hiroyuki Aoki of Shintaido. It says go to Tenshinryu Falls. Yeah, this is good. There is a famous waterfall called Sake Waterfall nearby, but ever since an incident in which a foolish student went down the waterfall on his own for fun without proper knowledge or preparation, it has become a valuable waterfall. Nako's waterfall area has been closed. There are no other highlights around here, so I guess it's a big blow. I want it to be released again someday. Also, food. The dining room is quite large. There is also a large screen TV. (I don't want to go to the big screen.) Beer is 700 yen. There are also local sakes such as sake and Tanzawa sake. I tried this, and it was quite delicious. The sashimi and tiger prawns had a good taste. It can be said that the total balance is good compared to the price. This is a good ryokan with a warm, Showa-era flavor for the common people. (There was also an inn named after a nearby waterfall, and this one was more Western-style and beautiful, but the woman who answered the phone was so rude that I got angry, so I quit and went here. I'm glad I changed it.)
