Cheap hotels in Minobu

As an European we loved Shimobe Hotel. We visited hotel to feel like Japanese people during vacation, and it was brilliant. We could dip our feet in hot water watching koi fish pool, we were invited to mash rice to make rice cakes during evening animations, and there is beautiful stone outdoor onsen. Everything was far beyond our expectations, and I recommend Shimobe Hotel to everyone seeking calmness, relax and friendly atmosphere in traditional Japanese style

The place, the view and the food were fantastic!

Such an amazing stay! The place is a LOT more remote than I thought, because I didn't check the map properly, but it was an amazing, if unexpected, escape from the city. Despite our poor planning, the hosts went above and beyond to ensure we got everything we needed. The room and facilities were beautiful and immaculate! The landscape and environment were unbeatable! We saw monkeys! Just wild! By the side of the road! Treat yourself to an ebike ride around the town and check out the fishing pond that cooks the fish for you (kunugi fish farm) and the incomparable cafe (古家cafe自然坊), the food was delicious and wildly affordable and the staff unbelievably welcoming. Best accidental trip to rural Japan I can imagine taking!! Thank you so much Hana and family ❤️❤️❤️

It is hard to find something we didn't like honestly. Great accommodation all around. The room was clean, comfortable, well equipped, even had Japanese pajamas ready on the bed. Water and glasses, incredible Mount Fuji view from the room or the balcony upstairs. The whole house was extremely clean. The common room had a giant TV with Netflix, YouTube and even Disney. All the people that we met inside the house were extremely friendly, starting from the staff to the guests. The bathrooms were extremely well equipped, especially for the ladies, with feminine hygiene products. The water pressure in the shower was unbelievable. They offered to take us from the station and back, even to visit the town free of charge. They even offered us some traditional Thai food as one of the owners is Thai. The room downstairs is traditional Japanese with tatami floors and everything. Electric bike rent service was available to explore the rural side of Japan and it was gorgeous. Everything was just amazing and if you choose to stay here, don't forget to write your name on the map and something nice in the memory notebook.

Gorgeous place to stay, in the nature park, surrounded by nature. The host and her family are very nice and accommodating. Everything was very comfortable and cosy. If you like nature i highly recommend

+ great location with Mt. Fuji view + whole building only for your needs + local feeling + great host We were very lucky to choose this accommodation! The host was extremely kind, showing us a large building with a spacious floor, hammocks to relax in, and a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji (weather permitting). He also prepared a cozy BBQ area with lights and treated us to delicious homemade takoyaki cooked over the fire. A truly great experience! Don’t expect luxury, but you’ll find a warm, local atmosphere in beautiful surroundings.

Value for money! Excellent Japanese tatami room with Mt Fuji view. Paid dinner and breakfast are value for money and delicious. Love the surrounding, quiet and peaceful, walking distance to the viewing point, the same picture as old Japanese Yen ¥1000 note

I found this homestay looking for a nice place near Mount Fuji at a cheap price, where I could admire the mountain and go on excursions in the surrounding area. I found everything here:) Both the place and the family that runs it are very nice. When you arrive at the station the hostess can pick you up in her car for a very affordable price. It is a very simple guest house with no frills, but it offers everything that the traveler needs, at a very reasonable price. Keep in mind that they also offer one free meal a day, whether lunch or dinner. In this sense, it surprised me. pleasantly, because I told them that I was vegetarian and they made an effort to cook something different and delicious every day, I’m very grateful for that. The accommodation itself has a restaurant with exquisite and carefully prepared dishes. The majestic Fuji is right above, you can see it when you leave the accommodation and walk a few steps, you can take beautiful photos. 20 meters from the rooms there is a very beautiful small waterfall and a stream over which the path runs to Take the bus to visit the town of Fujinomiya, it is located about 15 minutes walk along a beautiful path that runs through a forest and areas of more rural Japan. The bus will leave you in Fujinomiya in about 20 minutes, there you will find the Mount Fuji World Heritage Center, a modern facility where you will learn everything about Mount Fuji. Right next door are some food stalls where they offer the famous Fujinomiya Yakisoba and two steps away is the Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine. There is another beautiful excursion to visit Shiraito Falls. there are much more things to do, for example visit some of the Onsen in the area, just ask to your hostess. The accommodation has only been on Booking.com for a very short time, previously they only hosted local people, so they will appreciate your advice to improve the service and its facilities. In short, a great base for visiting Fuji and its surroundings.

Itaru san was very nice bringing us to a nearby onsen and his food was amazing! The surrounding area is very peaceful and quiet. We were lucky to be able to see fujisan clearly! He also took us to a nearby Cafe which was beautiful. He took us to the station after as well, he is an amazing hardworking guy that shared hie story with us. This has been the most authentic Japanese experience we've had while being in Japan. Thank you Itaru San, we will come again.

Amazing hot spring (tattoo friendly), comfortable beds and amazing food.
