Isawa View Hotel Reviews

The building is old, but the rooms are spacious and the price is reasonable. There are convenience stores, restaurants, ramen shops, izakayas, etc. within walking distance, so the location is good.

The lobby is crowded with hostesses, which is unpleasant for children and families.

Small, cold, the toilet is small and narrow, the toilet is not smart (the only non-smart toilet in Japan in 14 days), the front desk does not speak English, and does not arrange meals.

The room had a Showa-era feel to it, and the wallpaper was peeling in some places, so it was a little scary. However, the toilet seat was prepared for the cold toilet seat, and the staff were kind and polite, making it feel like home. The quality of the hot water leaves your skin smooth, and the shampoo conditioner provided is also made with horse oil, making it moist and smooth.

Although the hotel is a bit old, it is still relatively clean.

Emergency booked hotel, B&B feel, average

Although I arrived a little early, I was able to check in and get into my room. The room was a 15-tatami Japanese-style room, and the futon was already laid out. There was a sunken kotatsu, and the room was spacious. The sixth-floor room had a nice view of the mountains. The bathroom was fully equipped with lotions and other amenities. The women's bath was a rock bath, the indoor bath was a little hot, and the open-air bath was a little warm from the source. From the open-air bath and indoor bath, you can see the giant rocks and the green garden, which is a nice bath. Amenities were available in the washroom area. We had dinner in the large restaurant. There was a good selection of dishes for dinner, and almost everything was set. We ordered a BYO (1,000 yen corkage fee) wine from Yamanashi Prefecture at Isawa Onsen. The staff at the restaurant were non-Japanese, but they were polite and kind. The breakfast was a Japanese meal with a variety of dishes. The Hoto miso soup was a little salty. The senior plan included check-in at 2 p.m. and a beer after the bath. I had a relaxing stay, soaking in the hot springs.

The food and other service is not very good, probably due to cost cutting. At dinner, cold and tough meat dishes came first, ignoring the order, appetizers came later, and the sashimi and crab were dry. It also seems as if they think that service means serving the food quickly and clearing it away. However, the delicious dishes are delicious, so it's hard to say anything. The large public bath is spacious and not bad, and although some of the facilities are old-fashioned, they are generally clean. It depends on the price, but it's not a bad place. However, you can't get your expectations too high. That's the kind of place it is.

This time, we had an early check-in (2pm) and a plan that included beer after bathing. The futon is already laid out, but the room is 15 tatami mats, so it's spacious. There is a sunken kotatsu with a kotatsu futon over it, but I thought it would be better to use it instead of a chair and table without the futon. Perhaps because I took the bath immediately, there was no one else around, so I was lucky to have both the magnificent rock bath and the open-air bath to myself. The open-air bath is fed directly from the source, and the water is lukewarm at 36 to 37 degrees, which is very comfortable for me as I like lukewarm baths. The indoor bath is hot and has a rock bath. I always wonder how the huge rocks in the bath and garden were transported. It's so huge. This time, I thought it was probably the drain in the washing room, but I was concerned about the smell. When I asked Tsureai later, she said that the men's bath didn't have any particular smell. Other than that, it's a good hot spring rock bath, the changing area is clean, and amenities such as lotion are provided. This bath does not have a gender-separated system, but the open-air bath in the men's bath is large, so I hope that someday it will be a gender-separated system. We had dinner at the restaurant. "Gourmet Kai Seki" is a multi-course meal. There was a cute horsetail horsetail on it, and it had spring content such as firefly squid and bamboo shoots. Almost everything is set on the table, and some items will come later. It's piping hot because it's prepared according to the time the customers arrive. Also, they lend me a chukkaman, so I can light the fire at my own timing, but they keep an eye on me when it comes to hot lids, and I keep asking them to take the lid off later. He will call you. I think the quantity and quality of the kaiseki cuisine is high. What particularly impressed me this time was the Western-style spare ribs, which were quite large and filling. Also, the tuna sashimi was delicious, as Yamanashi Prefecture is the number one consumer of tuna sashimi (other sashimi include leaf scallops and Yamanashi salmon). Also, when the sakura shrimp kamameshi is cooked, it becomes a slightly darker cherry color, and the shrimp has a nice aroma. At the restaurant, there are staff members who are attentive and attentive. I also thought that the elderly waitress was very attentive and kind when talking to customers. Thanks to you, we had a fun and delicious dinner time with local wine from Fuefuki City, Yamanashi (1,000 yen corkage fee). Breakfast is also at the same venue. This ryokan is the only inn in the View Hotel group that offers Japanese breakfast instead of hiking. Juice, milk, and coffee are available in buffet style. In the morning, we had delicious tuna sashimi (butsu), Yamanashi's specialty Hoto instead of miso soup, fukimiso and handmade tamagoyaki. The coffee was piping hot, and we both had second cups. The best thing is the cheerful greetings and refills from the staff in the morning. The atmosphere of the restaurant is bright. This is an inn that you would want to use again in different seasons.

PROS 2nd floor Kaiseki restaurant staff are very friendly / Korean old-style, courteous style / Kaiseki dinner design is beautiful and delicious / Use of seasonal ingredients makes you feel healthy / Old-style safe / Fridge and green tea facilities in the room / Hot spring on the 1st floor is not big However, it is useful / The water temperature in the indoor hot spring is somewhat high / The water temperature in the outdoor hot spring is just right CONS No clock in the large public bath both indoors and outdoors / The scale in the large public bath does not work / The drinking fountain in the large public bath does not work

It felt old as a whole, but the inside was nice and clean. I didn't feel that the equipment was that old. Overall, it was quiet, probably because there were only a few rooms. There was a souvenir shop of a decent size, but the inside was just a step away and there wasn't anything my family wanted to buy. I don't think there was any alcohol available in the vending machines, including the shops. You can also have it delivered to your room as room service. Meals are served in the hall. For dinner, you can mostly eat food from Kofu. Boiled shellfish is a separate order. The quantity is large. It's quite hot because about 3 solid fuels are ignited by cooking rice etc.

We checked in at 14:00 and stayed in a large room plan. The room had a Western-style room with a bed, but there was a futon laid out. I said, "We don't need a futon because we have a bed," but I think they thought some people would like to sleep on the futon and laid out the futon to prevent them from entering the room as a measure against COVID-19. In the end, my partner took a nap on the futon after a beer and slept on the futon at night. Since it is a corner room, there are many windows and the mountain range can be seen, which is a nice view. In addition, the bathroom in the room was equipped with lotions and other products, which was convenient. This time, the people on the floor above were walking around, so it was quite loud. The bath is a rock bath. The open-air bath is a free-flowing hot spring, and the hot spring water is lukewarm, so I was happy as I like lukewarm water. It's probably around 37 degrees. You can see the garden and pond from the open-air bath, which is soothing. There were probably Japanese lutes and quince trees in the garden. The indoor bath is a rock bath, and there are rocks on which you can sit and take a half-body bath. The indoor bath is not lukewarm. The washroom area is fully equipped with all the necessities (lotion, etc.). After the bath, I ate in the rest area overlooking the beautiful pond in the Japanese garden, as the plan included a beer after the bath. Dinner was set on the table except for rice and dessert, but the hot dishes were piping hot. I looked at almost all the dishes and thought I would never be able to finish them all, but I ended up eating them all. The hot pot contained various kinds of mushrooms, pork, grilled beef on a magnolia leaf, and cream-boiled Shingen chicken. The tofu was ginkgo tofu, and I didn't know what kind of tofu it was until I looked at the menu, but it certainly had a unique ginkgo flavor. There were 13 dishes on the menu, and the last dessert was persimmon, pear, and caramel pudding. I was impressed by the attentiveness and service of one of the staff at the dining area. Breakfast was a Japanese set meal, and juice, milk, and coffee were served in a buffet style. There was a treasure sword instead of miso soup, and the tamagoyaki was homemade, and there was a variety of dishes, so it was a satisfying breakfast. As the name suggests, the hotel has a great view of the mountains. The food and hot springs are both very satisfying.
