Independent Iwanome hotels

"Love the staff. They tried their best to speak English, and are extremely friendly. We got a few things from the souvenir shop, which was great to bring as gifts for friends and family. The room was spacious. I book a remodeled room but the bathroom seemed a bit outdated. The food was fine for what they had. The relaxation room was great with free ice cream, soda and tea. Overall I am satisfied with my stay."

"A Wonderful Stay at a Charming Family-Run Inn I had an amazing stay at this lovely inn, which has been run by the same wonderful couple for over 40 years. Their dedication and care are evident in every detail. They were incredibly kind and attentive, making me feel truly at home. The accommodations were very comfortable, offering a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast was absolutely delightful – so plentiful and delicious, with a great variety to start the day right. The onsen was also fantastic, providing the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. I am so glad I chose this place and will definitely be returning on my next trip. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming stay with authentic Japanese hospitality!"

"Excellent Japanes Onsen experience. Will come back next year."

"The hotel is dated but nice. I prefer the mountain view rooms as they have been updated recently. The beds are quite hard so the tatami mats are the better option. The onsen are very relaxing and my skin feels incredibly soft after each visit. The breakfast buffet has a good selection of both western and eastern style dishes. "

"Location was unbeatable. 30 sec from the station. Even though it was right next to the station, we didn't hear the train noise at all. Enjoyed watching trains coming and going."

"Quite a nice stay at Guesthouse Fuga. The lady owner is lovely and the included breakfast was good too. Twin room with air con quite spacious and there is a desk and chair, a couple of coathangers. Just me but if you had 2 people sharing- 1 person gets a bed, the other person gets a fold out bed. I slept fine and area very quiet. A parking spot at the front door is excellent. All rooms are upstairs so you need to be able to walk up about 15 stairs. 1 toilet and 1 washbasin upstairs but I didn't have to wait. The reason I gave it 4 stars is the shower has to be accessed by going outside the front door into a shed. Ok in mild weather as now but would not good in the winter. Towels have to be hired for 200y as at hostels. As always if you get a noisy person, they can be heard in other rooms so I had to ask a lady to be quiet at 630am. Easy walk to samurai street and restaurants. Take a torch if you go out at night as street lighting not very good."

"the staff does a really good job at making you feel like home, every moment of our stay was really memorable. highly recommended."

"no microwave but love the free popsicles and fantastic view"

"Great facilities, but disappointed about the extra charge to use the pool. Also there was drilling noise from a next-door room. Still, the reception desk staff was friendly, and the view is superb."
