Kofu is the perfect base for exploring this region, allowing side trips to Mt Fuji, Matsumoto and Shosenkyo Gorge (must visit!). Accommodation in this city was limited, but Danrokan ticked the boxes for us. A fairly short walk from Kofu Station, we were met by friendly and welcoming staff. The room was very spacious with plenty of charm. Regardless of age, room was clean and tidy and we loved our stay here.

Surely built towards the end of the Shōwa Era, it would’ve been quite incredible in its time. However, these days it is very weathered e.g. plenty of west and tear. So if this bothers you, maybe look elsewhere, but no issue at all for us.

Space in the room

Not much English channels in TV

Nice lobby area, easy check in, easy to locate, near shops restaurant,park 8 min walk to rail station Kettle, good shower

All ok

Clean and big room, good staff

Very old fashioned onsen with not so clean water, doesn't maintain onsen temperature, no air conditioner, charges extra for Onsen even though it was not mentioned in my reservation
