25.12.06I stayed at Rakusuien while attending a conference in the Kofu area, and it was a wonderful experience.
The room was spacious and comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after a long day at the conference. The meals were absolutely delicious, showcasing the quality of traditional Japanese cuisine.
The highlight was definitely the onsen facilities - both the indoor hot spring bath and the outdoor open-air bath were exceptional and very relaxing. It was the perfect way to unwind.
The staff were incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout my stay. While there was a language barrier, they used translation devices to communicate with me, and this worked perfectly well. Their warm hospitality and attentiveness made me feel very welcome.
I only wish I had more time to fully enjoy all the facilities. I would love to return for a longer stay in the future to truly experience everything this wonderful ryokan has to offer.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Kofu area!
