Okay, buckle up, because you're about to get the real deal on Tabist Hotel Nizi Fuefuki Misaka. Forget the brochure – this is my unfiltered, slightly caffeinated experience of a few days nestled (or, at times, struggling) in this Yamanashi Prefecture hotel.

(Accessibility – My First, Slight Panic Attack!)
Alright, first things first: accessibility. They say they have facilities for disabled guests. And… well, they do. There’s an elevator (thank GOD!), and I'm just going to say that the ramps exist. Let's just be honest: navigating the entire place with mobility issues might necessitate some extra patience. The paths aren’t always perfectly smooth, and some interior spaces feel a bit cramped. My friend, bless her heart, who's a wheelchair user, reported that accessing some of the spa areas required a certain level of, shall we say, athleticism. So, while they tried, it's not a completely seamless experience. More like… a determined attempt with room for improvement. This section definitely needs more attention, and I hope they read this review because it's important.
(On-Site Restaurants & Lounges - Food, Glorious, Food!)
Okay, now for the good stuff: the food. Let's get down to business.
- Restaurants: Restaurants, yes, plural. I'm pretty sure there's at least one, maybe two, depending on how you define “restaurant.” One boasted both Asian and International cuisine, and the buffet breakfast was… an experience. Honestly? It was good, not mind-blowing, and certainly felt a bit like a culinary tour of the world. Think bacon, eggs, and, of course, miso soup all mingling on the same plates. It makes for a messy breakfast, but it's the kind of buffet that you walk away from feeling full and… oddly satisfied. A proper Asian breakfast, served on a plate? The Western breakfast was equally decent, the buffet had all the basics, but it wasn't the kind of place where I'd get out of my way to visit.
- Poolside Bar: There is a poolside bar. (More on the pool later.) Great for a quick drink, but the menu was limited.
- Coffee Shop: There is a coffee shop. Which is good because the standard of the coffee in the restaurant isn't anything special, but it's good enough.
(Swimming Pool - Instagrammable Views!)
And now, for the unbelievable views part of the Unbelievable Views Hotel… the swimming pool! The outdoor pool! (And the pool with a view!) It's absolutely stunning. Seriously, it's worth it for the views alone. You're looking up at the mountains, down at the valley, and it just feels magical. It was a little chilly on the day I went, which meant I only lasted about 20 minutes, but oh my gosh, the memories!
(Things To Do & Ways To Relax - Spa Day! (Almost))
This is where the hotel really shines.
- Spa/Sauna: Yes! There are saunas and steamrooms, and the spa offers a range of treatments.
- Massage: I got a massage! It was good. Not the absolute best massage of my life, but definitely good enough. It's not a bargain, but it's a convenient little indulgence.
- Fitness Center: I didn't go, because… well, vacation. But it's there!
- Foot Bath: I missed out on the foot bath. Regret.
- Body Wrap/Body Scrub: I did not partake and could not find out. Someone has to take one for the team and try it.
- The Sauna is Great: Great, but a little overcrowded at peak times – which I guess is a good problem to have.
(Cleanliness & Safety - The Sanitization Tango)
In the age of, well, you know, safety is key. And I'm happy to report that Tabist Hotel Nizi Fuefuki Misaka takes it seriously:
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Check.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Check.
- Room sanitization between stays: Check.

I felt safe. I especially appreciated the extra measures.

- Babysitting service: I didn't see that.

(My Room - The Good, the Okay, and the "Huh?")
Okay, the rooms. They're comfortable, clean, and… well, they offer the incredible views that the hotel promises. I had a room with a mountain view, and it was breathtaking. Seriously, I could have just stared out the window all day.
- Cleanliness: SPOTLESS.
- Size: Average, Japanese size, but well-designed.
- Soundproofing: Mostly good, but some noise from the hallways.
- Bed: Comfortable.
- Minor issue: The decor? Let's say it's… functional. It's not exactly the height of modern design. But hey, the view makes up for it!
(The Imperfections, the Quirks, and the Honest Truth)
Okay, here's where things get real. This hotel isn't perfect. There were some imperfections; the kind that made me laugh and roll my eyes in equal measure.
- Language Barrier: Some staff members spoke limited English, making certain queries a challenge. But they were always incredibly friendly and helpful, using their smiles to bridge the gap.
- The Elevator: The elevator could be slow. And sometimes, I felt like I was waiting for it forever.
- The "Spa" Confusion: The spa hours were a bit confusing, and I had to double-
Okay, buckle up Buttercup, because this ain't your grandma's meticulously planned travel itinerary. This is… my trip to Tabist Hotel Nizi Fuefuki Misaka, Japan. And knowing me, it's going to be a glorious, chaotic mess. Let’s see if I survive, shall we?
Pre-Trip – The Anxiety Before the Bliss
- Weeks Before: Okay, "weeks" is a strong word. More like, "frantically googling 'how to use a Japanese toilet' at 2 am" before I even booked the flight. This is always my pre-trip ritual: equal parts excitement and crippling anxiety. Did I pack the right adapters? Did I accidentally order the fermented natto instead of, I don't know, actual food? The existential dread is real.
- Days Before: Finally, flight booked! AirBNB? Nah, let's embrace the budget traveler life and try for a hotel. Tabist Hotel Nizi Fuefuki Misaka, here I come. Visions of myself flawlessly navigating the train system, smiling serenely at locals, and mastering the art of chopsticks dance in my head. The reality? Probably more like me, lost, hangry, and accidentally slurping my ramen like a vacuum cleaner.
- Hours Before: Okay, bag packed (maybe). Passport? Check. (Hold on… where's my passport?! Frantically tears apart the apartment) Breathe. We're good. I think.
Day 1 – Arrival of the Clumsy Tourist
- Morning: Arrive at Narita (Tokyo). The airport itself is an experience - clean, efficient, and utterly overwhelming. Finding the right train… a nightmare. My internal monologue: "Okay, left, right, left… wait, is that sign upside down, or am I just… lost already?"
- Afternoon: Train to Fuefuki. (Pray for me. This could be a bloodbath of missed connections and confused gesturing.) I'm trying to be cool, calm, collected. I got this. Right? Wrong. I manage to spill my much-needed coffee on the train. Splendid.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening: FINALLY, the Tabist Hotel Nizi Fuefuki Misaka! It's… cute. A bit dated, maybe, but clean, functional, and has that undeniable "Japanese hotel charm." Check-in is surprisingly smooth. The staff even smiles at me – a small victory! I get the key, stumble into my room, and collapse on the bed. Thank god for the bed. Time for a nap – or so I thought.
- Evening: Food. I have to eat. I'm starving. There’s a little restaurant nearby. I order something I think is safe (probably not). I attempt to use chopsticks. Hilarity ensues. Sauce ends up everywhere. I'm pretty sure I offended the chef. But hey, I lived! And the food? Surprisingly delicious.
Day 2 – The Misadventures Begin
- Morning: Breakfast at the hotel. It's an… experience. (Read: potentially concerning. I spot a suspicious-looking pickle. I avoid.) I decide to be adventurous and try the, um, "fermented soybeans." Big mistake. My face says it all.
- Late Morning: I attempt to visit the local wineries. Fuefuki is famous for its grapes, right? I think I will walk. (Bad idea. I am already regretting this.) I get lost. I ask for directions from a local. They look at me like I'm a confused alien. Google Maps is my only savior right now.
- Afternoon: Finally, I find a winery! And wow - the view is stunning. The wine? Okay, maybe I should have taken a bus. (And maybe I got a little too excited about the wine. Oops.)
- Evening: Dinner. I decided to give the local ramen shop a try, I get lost at the subway station, and I make it back to the hotel. I'm exhausted. I take a long, hot bath (bliss!) before falling asleep.
Day 3 – Culture Clash and Crumbles
- Morning: I am going to try to visit the local temple, and the hiking trails. I take the wrong train. I have zero idea where I am. I ask for directions… In Japanese. (My Japanese is terrible.) Somehow, miraculously, I find the temple (half an hour late). The scenery is beautiful at the hiking spot. I try to meditate. I fail.
- Afternoon: Okay, time for some retail therapy. Souvenirs are a must. Finding the right ones… harder than I thought. I buy way too many. My suitcase is already bursting. Oh, the problems of a shopaholic!
- Evening: Dinner at a local pub (Izakaya). I try the local sake. It's… strong. I meet some locals. We try communicating (badly) through gestures and Google Translate. We laugh a lot. Suddenly, the language barrier doesn't seem to matter. This is the best part of the trip.
- Late Night: Back at the hotel. I am writing this. I am tipsy. I'm happy.
Day 4 – The Farewell (Almost)
- Morning: The hotel's breakfast again. I am a bit scared. This time, I play it safe.
- Late Morning: I check out. Sad to leave. Goodbye, Tabist Hotel Nizi Fuefuki Misaka. It was a mixed bag.
- Afternoon: Back to Tokyo. Or at least, attempting to be.
- Evening: The airport. The long flight. The inevitable post-trip blues. But hey, it was worth it, right? Absolutely. Even with the mess, and the mishaps, and the fermented soybeans, and the lost directions… it was all worth it.
Post-Trip – The Hangover of Memory
- Weeks Later: I'm sorting through photos, reliving the memories, and already planning my next adventure. (This time, I'm taking language lessons before I go.)
- Eternal Lesson: Travel is messy. It's chaotic. It's unpredictable. And it's the most gloriously, wonderfully, imperfectly human thing you can do. Even when you spill coffee on yourself and get lost in the middle of nowhere and accidentally offend the locals with your chopsticks skills, that’s okay. It's all part of the story.
So there you have it. My journey to Tabist Hotel Nizi Fuefuki Misaka. Would I recommend it? Definitely. And would I do it all again? Absolutely. Just please, pray for my sanity (and my ability to finally conquer those Japanese toilets). Wish me luck on my next adventure!
