Ryokan Fudoyu (also styled Ryokan Reisui Fudoyu) is a small hot-spring inn in the hills of Omyojin, Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, that presents itself as a quiet place for slow hot-spring stays rather than a luxury stay. Before you book, three things matter: rates start at 6,400 yen per person; you bring your own towels and toothbrush; and there is no English website, so booking starts with a Japanese form or a phone call.

The inn says that about 100 years ago local people opened it as a bathhouse for toji, long restful stays at a hot spring, and that it was rebuilt in 1973. Local legend says Minamoto no Yoritomo dipped his brush in the spring water rising in the grounds of the Fudo-son here during a hunt near Fuji. It is run by a local welfare association, and its older site calls it a public inn. After a closure, it reopened on May 1, 2026.
Where is Ryokan Fudoyu in Fujiyoshida, and how do I get there?
How far is it from the station?
The official pages give about 16 minutes by car from Fujiyoshida Station on the Fujikyu line, the name the inn uses; that station is now called Fujisan Station. By taxi, the older site lists about 15 minutes from there, 13 minutes from Shimoyoshida Station and 14 minutes from Gekkoji Station. The official pages do not mention a pickup service, so plan on a taxi.
Can I drive there?
From the Kawaguchiko interchange on the Chuo Expressway, the inn gives about 20 minutes. Its older site describes the last part as about 3.5 km along the river toward Mount Shakushi, and the new site warns that some roads are narrow. Parking is not described, so ask when you book.
The baths at Ryokan Fudoyu
What are the baths like?
The baths are separate for men and women. Each has two tubs, one lukewarm and one hot, and the older site describes the water as clear and colorless, in a small tub with a large window. The inn’s information page lists the spring as a simple spring. No outdoor bath or private bath is mentioned.
When are the baths open?
We do not give bath hours here: the official pages show more than one set of times. Confirm the hours with the inn when you book or at check-in. Day visitors can also rest and bathe for 1,000 yen per adult and 700 yen per child.
Can I bathe with a tattoo?
The official pages do not mention tattoos. The baths are shared, so ask the inn before you book; our tattoo and onsen guide explains what to ask.
Rooms and meals at Ryokan Fudoyu
What are the rooms like?
The inn has 17 rooms with tatami, a TV and a fan, and the building has floor heating in winter. Rooms are non-smoking; use the smoking room instead. The older site says Mount Fuji shows over the hills from the guest rooms. The new rooms page marks its room names and photos as provisional, and the official pages do not say whether rooms have their own toilet or bath.
What is there to eat?
There is no dinner plan. Breakfast is a Japanese set of rice, miso soup, grilled fish and side dishes, and it must be reserved. For lunch and dinner, order in the dining room, which the inn says is open every day. Sample prices on the menu include ramen 800 yen, curry rice 800 yen, a grilled meat set meal 900 yen and bottled beer 500 yen; the inn notes that dishes and prices can change.
Can the inn handle allergies?
The dining page asks you to tell the inn about food allergies or other meal requests in advance, and it will confirm what it can do. Vegetarian meals are not mentioned.

Rates revised in September 2025, from the official pages, read October 16, 2026.
Are there multi-night or group rates?
The official pages differ on this, so ask the inn. The new site itself says to contact the inn about multi-night and group conditions.
What do children cost?
Children have their own rate (see the table), but the age bands are not published; the inn asks you to contact it.
What is the cancellation policy?
The new site gives no cancellation rule. The inn’s older official site lists 10 percent from 20 days before, 20 percent from 10 days, 30 percent from 5 days and 50 percent on the day, and 100 percent for a no-show. Confirm the rule when you book; see our hotel cancellation guide.
How do I pay, and are there local taxes?
Payment methods for stays are not listed, so ask before you go. Fujiyoshida has a bathing tax of 150 yen per person per day (50 yen for day visits); the official pages do not say whether it applies here or is in the price. The city also plans an accommodation tax of 200 yen per person per night from April 1, 2027. More in our onsen bathing tax guide.
