forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.5 out of 5 (2,637 reviews). Guests praise the chance to tour the 4 onsen baths as a family, each with its own character - the signature standing bath Hakuen no Yu, the women-only time slots and the private-hire bath, and they describe in-room dining as letting them eat without worrying about those around them even with children along. Some, on the other hand, point out that the changing rooms and washbasins were not thoroughly cleaned, which is worth keeping in mind if that matters to you.

Overview
Fujisan Ryokan is a lone inn at Namari Onsen in Hanamaki, Iwate, known for a main building constructed entirely of zelkova wood. It has 4 baths fed by 100% onsen flowing straight from the source, including the private-hire bath Gin no Yu, which families and couples can book for themselves. Dinner can be enjoyed in the half-private dining area Akari or as in-room dining, and meals accommodating allergies can be arranged. Guest rooms come with hair dryers, and humidifiers are available to borrow, a thoughtful touch for families staying with young children.
Rooms
The main building is a wooden structure built entirely of zelkova. Its rooms include an 8-tatami Japanese-style tatami room plus a 6-tatami corner room (for 2-4 guests), an 8-tatami room plus a 4-tatami room (for 2-4 guests), an 8-tatami room plus a 4-tatami room or a 10-tatami room (for 2-4 guests), and a 7-tatami room (for 1-2 guests). In all of them, the toilets and washbasins are shared. The adjoining reinforced-concrete annex has an 8-tatami Japanese-Western room with its own washbasin and toilet (for 1-2 guests), as well as a 12-tatami Japanese-style tatami room with a washbasin but no toilet for 2-5 guests, and it is built more airtight than the wooden main building. The toji wing, intended for long stays, has 6- to 8-tatami Japanese-style tatami rooms without a washbasin or toilet.
Baths and Onsen
Fujisan Ryokan has 5 spring sources, and all 4 of its baths - Hakuen no Yu, Katsura no Yu, Shiraito no Yu and Gin no Yu - carry 100% onsen flowing straight from the source. The spring water is a simple onsen and an alkaline simple high-temperature spring, with plentiful flow and a spring temperature of 57°C. The listed benefits include childhood ailments. The signature Hakuen no Yu is a standing-bath-only onsen with an average depth of 1.25 m. It is a mixed-gender bath by tradition, so women-only time slots are set. Because the water is deep, take care when bathing with young children. Gin no Yu can be reserved privately by a family or couple, and its changing room has underfloor heating. From 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. it can be used as a private-hire bath, for up to 6 groups, 50 minutes each, on a first-come, first-served basis. Advance reservation is required and a fee applies.
