Good day to all! We stayed in this wonderful house for 3 days. This is a great place to get away from the crazy rhythm of big cities. We were given 2 large rooms for 4 guests. The owner was extremely polite, tactful, kindly received us, met us at the nearest station. Upon arrival, we were fed to our fill with traditional Japanese food. The owner explained to us all the intricacies and rules of eating. For me, a trip to Mount Fuji is a childhood dream. It felt like I came to my grandfather in the village. We tried to help owner, although we were not obliged to. My wife and child helped set the table, I helped wash the dishes. We also met another guest, with whom we quickly found a common language, since everyone who comes to this place is looking for what they will find here. Having rested, we continue our journey through Japan further, after which we will return to Russia with amazing memories and new acquaintances. Thank you, with respect, Denis and his family!

Itaru-san was very helpfull! We had problems with our rental car and he helped us immediatly. Standard room. Location is very peacefull and quiet. He cooked a wonderfull dinner and we had a very nice evening with other guests. In the morning again a very large choice in typical Japanese breakfast. If you want to know what traditional Japan looks like, come here!

“A great experience”

This was my best stay in the whole 3 weeks away in Japan and Korea. Itaru was a marvellous host who cooked beautiful traditional Japanese breakfast and supper for his guests and taught us a little about japanese eating. We ate in a communal kitchen/dining room/lounge, which was a really friendly relaxing environment. Being a lone traveller, I enjoyed meeting and sharing experiences with the other guests. My room was traditional and perfect for me. Itaru was incredible helpful

“A precious experience of living in Japan.”

It had a very friendly atmosphere, the best of all the places I stayed at during my 3 week holiday touring Japan. The food that Itaru cooked for his guests was a major highlight and the surrounding area was a bit of Japan I loved seeing.

A really lovely homestay, with delicious home cooked food and great company, I was made to feel really welcome.

“Family trip with 2 kids below 9yo”

Homecooked food by the owner was very yummy 😋 house considered very spacious as compared to other places we stayed. Room is very spacious. Shared bathroom. However it is not very convenient for family with kids to stay there, as we can't really walk much from places to places. But if you come without kids, can rent bicycle from the owner to cycle around and explore freely. Owner helped us by fetching us to and from lake and the Makaino Farm. We don't eat breakfast usually, but luckily we get to try breakfast prepared by the owner too ♥️ we relaxed and chilled here before moving to another place 😉

It was a beautiful environment, an authentic and real Japanese house, and what I liked most is the communication, helpfulness, kindness and the company of Itaru. He cooked an amazing dinner for us and it was the first time I didn’t feel like a tourist but like part of the daily life of locals there. It was perfect.

Staying at Yunonouchi was one of the most unforgettable experiences during our time in Fujinomiya. The homeowner, Mr. Itaru, greeted us warmly and with great hospitality. He provided excellent service throughout our stay. Mr. Itaru went above and beyond in hosting his guests. He picked us up from the station, cooked us incredibly delicious meals, and even offered a bicycle rental service. Although access to some tourist cities required traveling by bicycle or car, the views around the accommodation were absolutely stunning.

“Very memorable stay, incredible food.”

The host, Itaru, is an incredibly good cook, the best meals I have had since I've been in Japan so far. I tried Natto for the first time here. He also took me to an Onsen (Hot Spring), which I'd never been to before, and he also taught me some Japanese upon my request. He was very accommodating and welcoming.

“A nice stay just outside of town”

As other reviews have stated, the host makes the best meals. It was also nice to talk with him and other guests over dinner and breakfast. There is reliable bus service with a stop just across the street that will take you into town within 15 minutes.

“I heavily recommend staying here if you are looking for a short stay to see Fuji and the countryside with amazing food f”

Itaru(the host) was so welcoming and helpful through our stay. He is glad to drop you off at locations and he picked us up from the station when we first arrived. The location is very remote with few things in walking distance. He does provide 2 rentable bikes for a day. By far the best thing was his cooking, even though he claims he is not a chef, I have no doubt that his meals will be among the best I will have in my 3 week stay of Japan. The environment felt so homely with 2 other guests at the house also but you have enough privacy if you are more introverted. At dinner and breakfast it is a shared meal between all guests and I found there was always enough food and if not then Itaru prepares more before you run out. We were lucky to have shared the house with a very kind Italian couple who were vegan, if you have dietary requirement then Itaru does his best to ensure they are met, while also accommodating other guest’s diets such as if you like meat but other guests are vegan, he ensures no one is left out.

Itaru san was very nice bringing us to a nearby onsen and his food was amazing! The surrounding area is very peaceful and quiet. We were lucky to be able to see fujisan clearly! He also took us to a nearby Cafe which was beautiful. He took us to the station after as well, he is an amazing hardworking guy that shared hie story with us. This has been the most authentic Japanese experience we've had while being in Japan. Thank you Itaru San, we will come again.

“Amazing stay!”

We had a fabulous stay! The host was very accommodating and a fabulous cook! We booked an guided tour through the region with the host which is one of our major highlights of our visit to Japan! I can definitely recommend this guest house! John

Itaru San was a great host. His cooking is really delicious, and he is very generous with the portions. He made us feel really welcome!

“Wonderful local experience with delicious home-cooked food!”

The owner was very hospitable and is a great cook! He whipped up wonderful and yummy home-cooked dishes. 😊

“Comfy and happy to stay here”

Nice guest, Nice house, and very traditional place

“A cozy stay with beautiful places nearby”

Itaru-san gave very precise information on how to get there using different means of transport. He made an awesome dinner as well as breakfast! A spacious room with fully tatami floors. Before dropping me off at the station, he took me to a few amazingly beautiful places, the waterfalls as well as the green tea plantation! truly magnificent with Mt Fuji always in the background! Would definitely recommend! Thank you very much for giving me a very local experience of Japan!!

“Nice location, but a cleaning issue”

The food was very good, and the surroundings are really nice, great to have a bike ride (try to take the one that have brakes tho…) The host took us by car to nice places around ! My room was great, japanese-style with window on the garden.

The outstanding hospitality and the traditional japanese food (with explanation from the host, how to eat it. Thanks alot to Itaru for the unique time!
