The first thing you'll notice when you arrive is how friendly and gracious everyone is. The staff were so kind, grabbing our bags and giving us fans as soon as we entered, and taking our bags to our room. We returned at night and saw our beds already rolled out. Such great service! The building is old and traditional, and while we found a bug in the room (staff then gave us spray to get rid of it), it was a great experience. If there were no bugs, perfect! Thanks for the wonderful service.

Very good atmosphere. I will recommend it to others. The hotel is located in a safe area and inside the hotel it was very quiet and I felt safe. The hotel was not difficult to find. I visited tourist attractions like floating garden observatory and many others. Staffs' English were quite good and they were friendly.

Petit Ichifuji was a pleasant little ryokan a short distance from Ozone station. If you would like to try the ryokan experience i'd recommend it - good price, pleasant staff, nice rooms but 15mins or so from Sakae though if you want to go out.
