Really good Culinary Experience

I had the pleasure of dining at Kozantei Ubuya, where the meals were nothing short of amazing. Chef Kinya Okubo showcased his talent with every dish. The Japanese set menus for both breakfast and dinner were exquisite, highlighting local flavors. Each bite was a good discovery, especially the salmon for breakfast, which was some of the best I've ever tasted. The experience truly complemented the elegant atmosphere of the hotel.

Stunning Room with Private Onsen

My stay in a suite that included a private onsen was a dream come true. The spacious room was elegantly decorated in traditional Japanese style, and having my own outdoor hot spring with a amazing view of Mt. Fuji was simply lovely. I could soak in the warm waters while gazing at the mountain; it felt like paradise. Such a unique feature added to my overall experience at the ryokan.

Luxurious Onsen Experience

The onsen facilities at Kozantei Ubuya were absolutely luxurious. With separate bath areas for men and women across four floors, I was able to enjoy the calming hot springs in a serene environment. Although the weather wasn't perfect during my first day, the next morning was clear, allowing me to soak while enjoying unmatched views of Mt. Fuji. The blend of relaxation and beauty made it one of the highlights of my stay.

Well-Appointed Bathroom Amenities

The bathroom in my suite was thoughtfully designed, providing a spacious and luxurious setting. It was well-stocked with high-quality toiletries, and I especially appreciated the separate areas for the bath and shower. This made the experience more convenient and comfortable. The overall cleanliness and modern amenities made my stay even more enjoyable.
