Peaceful and relaxing

Loved the stay at Kounso. The room was spacious and had extra bedding that could be used to fit your preference. Each room gets to reserve a time for the large bathrooms. Absolutely loved the cypress bath, it was perfect after a long day. Chose not to use the room heater because of the kerosene smell. Instead, the kotatsu table was plenty warm for this time of year. The location was very close to plenty of food and lake adventures. The owner was very helpful and friendly, even towards my limited Japanese speaking. Will definitely return.

Peaceful and relaxing

Loved the stay at Kounso. The room was spacious and had extra bedding that could be used to fit your preference. I was not sure about the shared bath, but each room reserves time slots, so you do not bath with strangers. I loved the cypress bath, it was perfect after a long day. I chose not to use the room heater because of the kerosene smell. Instead, the kotatsu table kept me plenty warm for this time of year. The location was very close to plenty of food and lake adventures. The owner was very helpful and friendly, even though I only knew a few words in Japanese. I visited alone, but I hope to bring my whole family for our next visit.

Such a great place to stay, genuinely Japanese with an onsen, a very good breakfast, with bikes to lend, in a very quiet neighbourhood. The owner is extremely friendly and made us feel at home. We were very happy with the bikes and made short tours in the neighbourhood. You get there great views of Fuji.

とてもいい宿でした！

気さくな方で、気兼ねなく施設を利用できました。 部屋にはこたつも暖房もあり、暖かく過ごせました。 お風呂もサービスなのか24時間使用可能で とても快適でした。 写真よりも少し古い感じはしましたが、 ビリヤードも使えて子供達は初体験で楽しんでおりました。

Small Place with Big Heart

Great location, very near Lake Yamanaka. We had the hotel all to ourselves, but the owners made sure we were looked after very well, making great efforts to get the bath ready for us. The garden autumn colours were radiant and playing pool in the lobby with my son and wife was priceless!

Wonderful Little Experience

Very nice little tucked away guesthouse. The couple that run it are very friendly and helpful. They literally contacted me five minutes after booking to explain how to find them and check in. It's very clean and up kept. Will definitely book again in the future!
