Actually booked this place by accident. I thought i had booked Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan. When i showed up to the hotel I thought i had booked, it was more elegant, and honestly more uppity than i was expecting. I sensed they were put off by my excited kids, and knew we'd be walking on eggshells the whole time. So i wasnt super upset when we learned I had accidentally booked another place 18 km away! I had been corresponding with the hotel operator by email, who seemed pleasant enough, but I hadn't the first clue what kind of place i had actually booked. So we were beyond excited when we arrived to find, what to my foreign eyes seemed like an absolutely authentic traditional japanese home. It looked like a movie set. The owner showed us around the property, then he went home. The kids and I high-fived! We got the traditional setting we had wanted, but we could relax alone on a mountainside. The setting is a tad rustic. I loved that about the place. Heating is by woodburning stove that you feed yourself (electric space heaters there as well). There is a full kitchen there, and what we didnt know ahead of time, is that there is primitive outdoor grilling/cooking facilities. That made a few confusing exchanges with the property operator suddenly make sense. Although it sounded in other reviews that possibly the property owner provided meat to be grilled, we had been asked to bring our own food. We didnt understand that that meant grillable items. But anyway, we loved the place. It would be perfect for a large group of 7, possibly more, to stay for more than one day and get big preplanned meals going on the woodfired grill.

Big lobby and lounge area ,nice breakfast, small bedrooms and quite a bad smoking smell ,Onsen for men only. Free parking,OK for price and location

It was just an incredible experience staying at the temple.

Nao was a great guest house host. Brought us in with open arms, cooked us a meal, introduced us to his friend and had a good time. Will definitely come back. Thank you Nao

+ great location with Mt. Fuji view + whole building only for your needs + local feeling + great host We were very lucky to choose this accommodation! The host was extremely kind, showing us a large building with a spacious floor, hammocks to relax in, and a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji (weather permitting). He also prepared a cozy BBQ area with lights and treated us to delicious homemade takoyaki cooked over the fire. A truly great experience! Don’t expect luxury, but you’ll find a warm, local atmosphere in beautiful surroundings.

Clean, comfortable, 親切, 暖気

Ken-san and his wife are lovely people and took good care of us. The rooms are spacious and the food was amazing. We recommend partaking in the prayers offered by Ken-san. We look forward to visiting the nishiren temple in Germany.

It was a great private cabin wotha view of Fuji. It was really nice to have a fire going at night in your terrace and waking up to see sunrise on Fuji

As an European we loved Shimobe Hotel. We visited hotel to feel like Japanese people during vacation, and it was brilliant. We could dip our feet in hot water watching koi fish pool, we were invited to mash rice to make rice cakes during evening animations, and there is beautiful stone outdoor onsen. Everything was far beyond our expectations, and I recommend Shimobe Hotel to everyone seeking calmness, relax and friendly atmosphere in traditional Japanese style
