Hotel Eldia Yamanashi (Adult Only)

"Unique experience. When they say adult only they mean it haha. The room itself was massive open plan and came with a lot of added extras that we weren't expecting just as the receptionists weren't expecting a couple with massive luggage. If you're caught up driving in the middle of the night and need to sleep, this could be an option. Have an open mind."

"Hotel Yata (HOTEL YATA), Isawa Onsen, Yamanashi Prefecture - A two-day, one-night New Year's holiday! ~5-point rating~ Bad ⇒ Average ⇒ Good ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ 🔻 [First Appearance] ③ The hotel has a large entrance that reminds me of a hotel from the Showa era's bubble economy! 🔻 [Staff Response] ③ They came over as soon as I arrived by car, politely helped me unload my luggage from the car, and escorted me to the lobby. 🔻 [Lobby] ③ There was a small lobby directly in front of me upon entering, and it felt a little crowded. A friendly woman at reception kindly assisted me. An attendant guided me to my room while carrying my luggage. There was a pond with many beautiful Nishikigoi carp swimming around, and they sold food so I could feed them♪ 🔻 [Barrier-Free Access] ③ It was mostly accessible, but there were some small steps here and there. 🔻 [Room] ③ A very spacious and beautiful Japanese-style room with an outstanding sense of openness. 🔻 [View from the Room] ② Mountains in the distance, with only the peak of Mt. Fuji visible. The rest was the cityscape. 🔻 [Hot Springs] ④ There were two baths: a wine bath and a small private bath on a higher floor where you could soak while enjoying the view. The water was quite warm, and soaking in the fragrant reddish-purple tub was a very satisfying way to soothe my fatigue. The open-air bath was also very pleasant♪ 🔻 [Food (Dinner)] ④ We had dinner in a private room. This was the last meal of the year♪ Each dish was very stylish. There was a wide selection, including Koshu beef and crab, and they were all delicious. 🔻 [Hotel Shop] ③ The shop was small and mainly stocked local specialties and items related to Takeda Shingen. Being in Yamanashi Prefecture, there was a wide selection of Shine Muscat processed products. 🔻 [Cooking scene (breakfast)] ③ Since we visited during the New Year holidays, the breakfast scene was different from usual, with New Year's dishes that were a delight to the eyes♪ 🔻 [Seeing off on the way home] ③ We paid in the lobby, and the attendant carried our luggage to our car. Then, we had our photo taken at the entrance♪ Overall score: 3 🎉"

"We had a wonderful family trip! We went in April, so we had a really relaxing time together as a family. The ryokan's food, the staff's service – everything was perfect. Thank you very much!"

"I use this place several times a year. It's relatively affordable among Isawa Onsen, but they serve proper kaiseki cuisine, not a buffet. I always come here in the summer. I love the warm water of the open-air bath here. From the room, you can see a garden with beautiful greenery, a waterfall and a pond. The futon is laid out in advance, but the room is still spacious. There is a large rock bath and an open-air bath, and I like the gentle water, so I spend a lot of time in the warm open-air bath. There is lotion and other products in the undressing and washing area. I saw a few people who were just visiting, but the bathroom is spacious so it didn't bother me too much. The indoor bath and the washing and changing area are hot, especially in the summer, so I think they need more ventilation. We had dinner in a large venue, but there were partitions between the tables, so when I sat down, I couldn't see the people at the next table. The kaiseki cuisine is set on almost every table, except for the rice and dessert, and every dish looks beautiful and is delicious. There are so many dishes that I didn't order rice and soup because I couldn't finish it. My partner ordered half a bowl of rice and said, "The soup is delicious, so please have it." We ordered Fuefuki City wine (a corkage fee is required). It was a 1.8L bottle, but it was nicely chilled. The matcha pudding dessert was also delicious. Breakfast was a well-balanced Japanese set meal. We will come again."
