It was really quiet when I was there, but everything was clean and comfortable. The breakfast is toast with jam and instant noodles. The location is very convenient as well it's close to the train station, you can check in at the restaurant on the first level. They don't speak English but have a written instruction.
I was there at Jan 2024, and only stayed there for 2 days.
The staff there can speak English, and were nice. The second day I stayed there, the staff offered me to have hotpot with all the other people living in Fujiya, an unforgettable experience I treasured and will forever remembered. Even though it is a proxy of a Japanese family, it did feel like I have experienced the Japanese hospitality and friendliness. There were some interesting characters, who may or may not frequented Fujiya, whom I had the pleasure to have this hotpot together.
The facilities are not the best, but the basics necessities were there and no complaining from me, they have an AC there, comfortable enough for me.
The staff did explain that there is only one shower, so we might have to wait for the person to finish. However, since the location is so close to Dogo Onsen, they did recommend to go there instead, and after all, it was why i chose this location in the first place. Location is really close to the Dogo Onsen and the Yuzuki-Castle ruin, which was a lifesaver for me
I would say that all other sight-seeing locations are within walking distance as well since I did walk to all those interesting places. However, I do realize not all people like to walk like I do. To counter that, Fujiya is practically next to the tram station, which you can use it to go to many places in the city.
tldr, would recommend
The ryokan is located very near the Vine bridge but is quite old looking.
The dinner and breakfast are super delicious and is the Japanese style with many small dishes.
It was the accommodation with the best dining options throughout my 19 days travel in japan.
There is a bathhouse in the ryokan which guests can use.
The rooms are all located on the 2nd or 3rd floor, together with the toilet and shower.
Room was huge with tatami and can fit in at least 4 person.
We were allowed to bring our bikes into the room but we laid them on some cloth to prevent the dirtying of the flooring.
Good value for money
ผผู้เข้าพักModern, clean and very nice facility!
Guesthouse Tonari can be highly recommended. It’s very clean, the facilities are modern, the beds are confortable and the host very serviceminded and speaks well English.
The guesthouse is located a little off the mall biking track, however it’s easy to reach with a small detour. If you are exploring the Omishima Island its very convenient.
Please do note that this is a guesthouse and not a hotel hotel, so the review is based on this. There is a small kitchen with what you need for preparing food. There is also a fridge so easy to bring food. Please note that there are not so many restaurants and shops in the vicinity, however the host can provide information. Best to bring some snacks and drinks.
There are space for parking bikes.
ผผู้เข้าพักMy wife and I had a wonderful stay at Ryokan Chaume. This family run Ryokan made us feel at home. The manager drove us to and from a terrific onsen nearby and afterwards we were served a delicious multi-course dinner. The drink list was excellent too. After a tasty Japanese style breakfast we needed help making an onward reservation, so the manager made several calls on our behalf and found us a place that had a last minute cancellation. I would recommend the Ryokan Chaume to anyone looking for a high quality inn.
