"Staying at Wakakusa no Yado Maruei was a memorable way to experience a traditional ryokan. The absolute highlight was the food—both dinners and breakfasts were outstanding, with each meal beautifully presented, creative, and completely different across our three days. Every bite felt like a special occasion, and the attentive, gracious service made the dining experience truly exceptional. The overall service throughout our stay was excellent as well—warm, thoughtful, and seamless in a way that made us feel truly cared for. The room itself was interesting and authentic, but less about comfort and more about tradition. As a side sleeper, I found the futons a bit too firm, and during the day, with the beds put away, there wasn’t really a cozy spot to relax. That said, the setting and atmosphere make up for it if you’re looking for a cultural experience rather than a plush stay. The complimentary shuttle to and from the train station was also a helpful touch. Overall, this ryokan is perfect for those wanting to immerse themselves in Japanese tradition and enjoy some of the best meals you’ll ever have."

"incredible services"

"Stayed in western style room. The smell of smoke was very apparent and the rooms needed some updating but were adequate. The main plus was the spectator early morning and late evening clear views of mount Fuji."
