If you want a little slice of heaven…
Very wonderful, authentic ryokan. If you are visiting the Lake Kawaguchiko area, I would highly encourage giving Wakakusa-no-Yado a try. The breakfast and dinner meals were amazing, the customer service (from walking in to checking out) was world class. Private and public onsens. Beautiful rooms with an even more breathtaking view… as well as a spectacular rooftop view of Mt. Fuji. Wish my Japanese was a little better so I could have told them, wholeheartedly, how blessed we were by our stay there.

The hot springs and the food were the standouts of this stay. While the ryokan has several Covid related restrictions (reduced hot spring capacity, using sanitizer before entering dining room at breakfast, having dinner in your room, no karaoke) all in all it didn’t impact the experience. The meals were amazing. The ryokan will send an email saying they don’t make substitutions which for the type of food I’m not surprised. A lot of time and care was spent making each meal. Do yourself a favor and ask for the Japanese version of the menu. The English version isn’t a complete translation. Then use either iPhone or google camera translation. One amazing things I realized is at breakfast this morning which was a more westernized menu was the fact the chef and team are not making the same meal for everyone. It is apparently dependent on how many nights you have stayed. I would go again.

The property is located in a beautiful location and it is within walking distance of the gardens, gorgeous cafes, and the lake and nature paths. The hot springs are wonderfully relaxing and having lovely views. The food was delicious and the service was superb. We would definitely come back as a family (as we did) or as a couple. Hope to be back soon!

Impeccable services an meals
Booked a 3night stay and each day just wow us more. The ryokan was having some renovations during our stay and there wasn't any lake view. However, the roof top view of mount Fuji made up for it. Every meal is different and the presentation is very pretty. There is always a welcome snack whenever we came back to the ryokan. It's a pity that i did not buy the snacks which were available at the store in the Ryokan thinking that I can purchase them at the train station souvenir stores. Friendly staff and the service was impeccable. We love the public baths as well which comes with steam and sauna rooms.
