Rakuten Travel rating 4.0 out of 5 (11 reviews). Guests praise the location, a 5-minute walk from the shore of Lake Kawaguchi with views of Mount Fuji, along with the country home cooking the proprietress prepares with real care and the baths that can be used 24 hours a day, with private-hire use at a set time.

The two baths, one large and one small, can be used at any hour of the day or night, and they can also be booked as a private-hire bath for a set time. Since the family has the bath to themselves, guests with small children can use it without worrying about other guests. You need to arrange the time in advance.

Overview
Reihou is a family-run guesthouse a 5-minute walk from Lake Kawaguchi, known for the country home cooking the proprietress prepares with real care. All of the rooms are Japanese-style tatami rooms, 6 in the main building and 3 in the non-smoking annex. The toilets, washbasins and baths are shared, but the two baths, one large and one small, can be used at any hour of the day or night, and they can also be booked as a private-hire bath for a set time. Children under 1 who co-sleep stay free of charge, which makes this an easy guesthouse to use with young children.
Rooms
All of the rooms are Japanese-style tatami rooms, 6 in the main building and 3 in the non-smoking annex. The toilets, washbasins and baths are shared, and the refrigerator and microwave are also in a shared space. Amenities such as pajamas and bath towels are not provided, so you will need to bring your own. There is no convenience store nearby either, so it is best to get everything ready before you arrive.
Dining
The food is country home cooking that the proprietress prepares with real care, and because it uses seasonal ingredients the menu changes from day to day. The rice is grown by the family, and the vegetables are sourced locally wherever possible. Both breakfast and dinner are served in the communal dining hall. A particular favorite with regular guests is the tobanyaki (ingredients grilled on a ceramic plate), served with a mountain of cabbage and a house-made sauce. Breakfast is simple, and comes with yogurt topped with the family's own blueberries.
Baths
The two baths, one large and one small, can be used at any hour of the day or night. They can also be booked as a private-hire bath for a set time, so you can bathe with a small child without worrying about other guests.
