Cheap hotels in Minobu

Amazing hosts (husband & wife) who saw that our every need was met (including little details like heating our room and the bathroom at the right times). Exceptional cooking (evening meal and breakfast were wonderful). Sato-san gave us an insider’s view of the wonderful Kyonji temple. This hotel and the temple are worth going out of your way to visit. Beautiful garden.

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

It’s the best hotel at fuji my family loves this place so much

We loved that it was englobed by nature and outside the city! It was really beautiful, well equipped, very clean and well organized!

The house was spotlessly clean and the location was simply perfect. We stayed in a traditional Japanese style room with futon bedding, which was both comfortable and cozy it gave us the feeling of experiencing Japan like the locals do. The host was incredibly attentive throughout our stay, always making sure we had everything we needed. He even went out of his way to pick us up from Shin-Fuji Station and kindly drove us back when we checked out. Although the house has an amazing view of Mount Fuji, unfortunately the mountain was hidden by clouds during our visit. Still, the setting was so peaceful and beautiful that we didn’t feel we missed out. We rented bicycles and cycled to the Shiraito Falls, which was absolutely breathtaking. If you enjoy nature and want to spend some quiet time away from the crowds, I highly recommend renting a bike and exploring the area it was one of the highlights of our trip.

What a perfect stay around the mount Fuji! The location, the commodities, the apartment itself, everything was perfect and i couldn't expect more from this stay, the photos are completely fitting to the reality, it's even bigger that you can imagine before your arrival! The host was so nice despite my lack of communication with her, once again thanks to her! After a peacefully night, a 5 minutes walk will bring you to nice waterfalls with a view on the mount Fuji all along ! Breathtaking! Guys, I can only recommend you to book a trip, short or long, you will need only a few minutes to feel like home and to enjoy the place, on lucky day you'll be even able to see the ocean in the back! Arigatō gozaimasu !

I found this homestay looking for a nice place near Mount Fuji at a cheap price, where I could admire the mountain and go on excursions in the surrounding area. I found everything here:) Both the place and the family that runs it are very nice. When you arrive at the station the hostess can pick you up in her car for a very affordable price. It is a very simple guest house with no frills, but it offers everything that the traveler needs, at a very reasonable price. Keep in mind that they also offer one free meal a day, whether lunch or dinner. In this sense, it surprised me. pleasantly, because I told them that I was vegetarian and they made an effort to cook something different and delicious every day, I’m very grateful for that. The accommodation itself has a restaurant with exquisite and carefully prepared dishes. The majestic Fuji is right above, you can see it when you leave the accommodation and walk a few steps, you can take beautiful photos. 20 meters from the rooms there is a very beautiful small waterfall and a stream over which the path runs to Take the bus to visit the town of Fujinomiya, it is located about 15 minutes walk along a beautiful path that runs through a forest and areas of more rural Japan. The bus will leave you in Fujinomiya in about 20 minutes, there you will find the Mount Fuji World Heritage Center, a modern facility where you will learn everything about Mount Fuji. Right next door are some food stalls where they offer the famous Fujinomiya Yakisoba and two steps away is the Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine. There is another beautiful excursion to visit Shiraito Falls. there are much more things to do, for example visit some of the Onsen in the area, just ask to your hostess. The accommodation has only been on Booking.com for a very short time, previously they only hosted local people, so they will appreciate your advice to improve the service and its facilities. In short, a great base for visiting Fuji and its surroundings.

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.

A beautiful and relaxing location, just right next to the shores of Lake Motosu. Dinner and breakfast buffets included & offered a lot of delicious choices with an excellent view of Mt. Fuji.

The staff was super friendly and took care of us from start to finish. They were super accommodating and helped us with our car and bags. The hotel was in a great location; but is maybe better accessed by car if you want to go places. There’s a conbini accessible by foot if needed. Mt Fuji was beautiful from our room and the balcony is shared access for a great view too - we took a lot of pictures! Everything was super clean and they even had a table tennis room! The public onsen hours were long into the night for a convenient night use as well.
