Hotel Kimiyoshi in Fuefuki

I love this place, so quiet.and relaxing. The staff are friendly. The food are delicious too! :)

I accidentally knocked over a glass, and they quickly and without hesitation dealt with it. This inn has great staff, so I'm glad. 😅

The building is old, but the guest rooms and public baths are well-maintained.

We stayed here for our annual family New Year's getaway.
The room was clean, and everything from the hallway to the entrance was warm, keeping the winter chill at bay. It seemed like my grandchildren were comfortable there, too.
The indoor smoking area is a welcome addition for smokers.
This was my second time here, and I'll definitely be staying here again next year.

I booked the standard plan on a weekday. It's a bit pricey even for Itoen, but it's great to be able to stay in a former luxury hotel for this price. The room was spacious, and the TV and air conditioning were new and comfortable. The karaoke room was also spacious, clean, and nice. The creative Japanese set meal was very delicious. The buffet was average, but there were many homemade items, so I was satisfied. The detached rooms aren't that expensive, so I'd like to stay in one next time. It's a shame that Kofu is just an ordinary town, including the bath, so the location isn't very good. Satisfaction will probably depend on the price you pay, but personally I was very satisfied. Booking through the official website is the cheapest option. The Shingen Mochi theme park is also nearby, but it's popular and time-sensitive to get a numbered ticket for the all-you-can-fill-a-bag event.

This was my 33rd stay at the Itoen Hotel (62 total). I stayed in a Japanese-style room with an open-air bath (12.5 tatami mats, non-smoking) (top floor, sixth floor) in the main building. At check-in, I was told that the water in the room's open-air bath was not a hot spring (it was a circulating, filtered bath). My mother, who accompanied me, was thrilled by the view of Mount Fuji's peak from the bathtub. I also enjoyed the room's open-air bath, so I bathed in it once after dinner, once early in the morning, and once after breakfast (in addition to the large public bath before dinner). The price was ¥13,915 per night (plus a 150 yen bathing tax). Incidentally, the cheapest hotel room was a Japanese-style room (10 tatami mats or larger, non-smoking) in the annex (¥8,415 plus a 150 yen bathing tax), so it was a bit pricey. I like watching the Isawa Onsen fireworks from my room, so I stayed at the Shinko Hotel in Oedo Onsen Monogatari in Fuefuki City last year and this year. An upgraded room (without an open-air bath) cost 19,200 yen (plus 150 yen bathing tax) per night (D+ on select days). I don't think you can enjoy the fireworks from Hotel Kimiyoshi's room. Dinner. 90 minutes. Reserved seating. We sat at a table for two. The food was pretty much the same as other Itoen Group hotels. The only things I noticed were fried oysters and wine. There was an ice bar, but it ran out and wasn't replenished. I visited by car. My car navigation system couldn't find the address or phone number. I called the hotel from the grounds of the Isawa Onsen Tourist Information Center (closed) to ask for directions. With Hotel Hatta in sight, keep to your left and head straight down the one-way road next to the canal. I was told that the hotels are located in the following order: Hotel Toyo, Hotel Kaiji, and Hotel Kimiyoshi. This hotel joined the Itoen Group in March 2023. Overall, the atmosphere is clean and bright. After reading the reviews here, I found the staff's service to be not as bad as the reviews suggest. I wonder if things have improved since joining the Itoen Group.
