Hotels near Mt. Minobu Ropeway

"I had the incredible chance to stay at the world’s oldest hotel, and it genuinely lived up to its legend. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was stepping into a different era — not in a museum-like way, but in a quiet, living continuation of tradition. The surroundings are stunning: mountains, rivers, pure silence. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down and just be. The hot springs were a highlight — natural, healing, and beautifully maintained. I left feeling physically and mentally reset. Meals were exceptional — local, seasonal, prepared with real care and balance. You can tell this isn’t just hospitality, it’s heritage passed down through generations. The staff were some of the kindest and most thoughtful people I’ve ever met. Discreet but always there when needed, with a level of attention that feels almost forgotten in today’s world. It’s more than a hotel — it’s an experience of Japanese culture, stillness, and deep respect for nature. I honestly hope my descendants can visit this place another 1,300 years from now. It’s worth preserving forever."

"Chose this hotel ostensibly for views of Mount Fuji and the onsen facilities. While Fuji was hiding behind clouds for two days (nothing anyone can do about the weather!) we were able to see the mountain on the morning we left. We had a room on the (Japanese) 3rd floor, but Fuji was still fully visible. The hotel made a lovely change from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and set in a quiet location. The room was spacious (twice, if not three times the size of the room we had in Asakusa in Tokyo!). The hotel is a little far from the train station to walk, but the hotel shuttle service helps get you to and from the station at specific times of the day. Pick not before 3pm. You can ask the tourist info office staff at the train station to call your hotel when you arrive. Info office open 9am to 5pm. The hotel is very much in the style of Japanese resort hotel, once you are there you can unwind and slow down with a nice onsen experience. The shop in the lobby sells lots of lovely omiyage/local products. Double rooms are on floors 2 to 5, floors 6 and above are for more than two people occupancy. The Japanese breakfast was excellent, as was the kaiseki dinner. Excellent value compared to what you would pay for the equivalent experience in the UK. The hotel staff were super helpful and polite, definitely model examples of Japanese customer service. They cater well for non-Japanese speakers, if you speak English or Mandarin Chinese, not sure about other languages."
