Mi è piaciuto: Pulizia, personale e servizio, servizi e condizioni e dotazioni della struttura
Ryosha Tsukiakari is a lovely place to stay near Mt Fuji. The inn is charming; it is a semi-traditional inn (tatami mat rooms with futons in a more modern building). I'm glad I stayed here.
That said, there are some caveats (these are NOT meant to diminish a stay here):
1) Traditional: take your shoes off on entering the building and use slippers in the public areas. Once in your room, slippers are only for the toilet/lav areas; you must remove the slippers to walk on the tatami floors (understandable, but not what Western travelers would be used to).
2) There are a toilet and lav in the room (on the 2d floor) while bathing is in the communal bath (on the 1st floor); this is not for everyone.
3) Though a 'modern' building, the windows leak. I stayed in Winter and with the screens opened there was always a draft coming in from the windows (double-glazed). I assume in summer, the hot, humid air gets in, too.
4) The breakfast is interesting to a non-Japanese ... a half-sandwich with some fruit, etc. I enjoyed it once; but, passed on it for the rest of my stay.
