We traveled to Japan this spring on a sort of a "late honeymoon" and we stayed one night at Fujiyoshi. It`s one of those things in your life that makes you go "wow".

First, I just want to say that is not like any other hotel where you spend the night and the next day you check out and that`s it. Looks more like a family business where they really make sure you`re having a good time. We had that feeling of "home stay" more than "hotel accommodation". 

Bad points, if I may say so: at the beginning it might look old, but I guess this vintage-look makes the place so authentic. Another one, when we were there, few of the onsens were closed due to repair and maintenance. There might be also the English issue: except wakaokami (kind of hotel manager), the staff doesn`t speak English. The last one, the price for one night might seem a little bit expensive, but I think it`s worth every yen...

Good points: great view, excellent onsens and the last, but not the least, amazing food. That`s something you`ve got to try out! Make sure you don`t eat anything all day long, to be able to eat the whole dinner. And also make sure you like Japanese food, because this what this place is about. 

Over all, we loved it. I wouldn`t describe it as "luxurious", it`s more like a cozy countryside place where we felt like home. We had a great time and we wish to come back one day. And yes, we recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience something authentic Japanese.
