Traditional Japanese Experience

Pros: Location was beautiful
If you would like to experience true Japanese sleeping, this is the place. As Westerners we felt the bedding was hard but it was great to experience it. Lovely staff and beautiful location to view Mt Fuji. Approx. 10 minutes walk to shops and restaurants.
