Yamanakako Hotel Guide - Christmas Woods Santa Claus Museum hotels in Yamanakako, Japan.

"An incredible stay! Sanu is located just steps away from the beautiful Yamanaka Lake and Mt. Fuji. We rented a car and explored the area for a few days and Sanu was perfect. I will be staying at Sanu in the future. Thank you!"

"Clean room, nice front desk service."

"Hotel is a bit outdated"

"Clean and tidy. Very friendly staff. Lovely location in the trees with a view to Mt Fuji, wild deer and we were lucky to have a blanket of snow which made it awesome!"

"We decided to try a Ryokan for 1 night. Keep in mind this is a rating for Ryokan. Room: The description shows shared baths, but our room had a toilet and sink. The showers are shared and are located with the bath (onsens) and there are 2 for 5 rooms. There is no hot water in the room sinks. We were there during winter and the toilet/sink area and the sitting areas get too cold. The mini-split can't keep up with keeping the room warm unless you close off those rooms. The futons are very thin so if you have a bad back, you will not sleep well. They also enter your room to set up the futons during dinner so keep in mind, this level of service is common and normal I would presume. Meals: I wouldn't recommend staying at a Ryokan unless you did the half board. The meals are amazing. A lot you will not like, but its traditional Japanese. The service during dinner was the best we've had. Conclusion - the meal and service at this hotel greatly overshadows the rooms, which to be honest should not be compared to a 4 star hotel. Great experience for 1 night."

"It was hidden from the road. The room is big but there is group tour also with quite a bit of noises ."

"This property had a very accommodating staff . Friendly and helpful. The building is amazing and very cottage core."

"Hospitality is incomparable when contacted to take taxi the hostess was more then willing to help with transportation, it feels like staying at your grandmothers home away from home "

"Spacious place that felt like home to relax with great views of the lake and Mt Fuji"
