Thank you for hosting us! ##### Sasha Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura 9 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This lodging was perfect for visiting the park. Facility was clean, quiet, our room was spacious, & the staff very friendly. They let us know about evening lantern event, and breakfast available for purchase at 9am in a cafe near by. Location in the park is convienent for some travelers without transportation visiting the park. It was a short hike from the bus stop at the museum. Could use a sign at the bottom of hill on bus route for lodging location. Of the park workers we asked, no one seemed to know where "The Deer Park Inn" was located. We followed the walking route on google maps to find it from the museum. As a hostel our room had western style bunk beds, which were nice. Property is not wheelchair accessible. They do provide this information on thier website, but take note it is located on a hill & there are many stairs. ##### Laura Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris 21 Mar 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The bed was firm.. that’s the only negative.

When my partner and I were arriving late to check in the clerk stayed an extra 30 min waiting for us. She is a hero!🙏 The place is 30 min from the downtown area so do order or buy food for dinner as you wont find anything nearby, but its 100% worth it because of the location and the staff! Thank you so much for having us and being great hosts! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/60301192-cfa1-4057-b948-8b639c3f97bf-1751013987071.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2b9d4789-ff7f-4583-8795-030015e4e6d1-1751013984109.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ricardo Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Betty 22 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service This hostel is near the historic shines but some distance from anywhere that serves food after 4 PM. Be prepared to walk into town and back after the buses stop running around 5 PM. ##### Betty Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Junko 4 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is located right by Wakakusayama, so quiet, deer sitting in front of hotel, super nice morning walk area! Owner was friendly, gave us good information. You can cook your own food at kitchen, so you can stay long. room was just like own bedroom, very comfortable. The bathrooms are not in your room, but very clean! My daughter loved here, so we will go back again!! ##### Junko Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Belen 16 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Felt very welcome and also thankful to the staff who recommended that we get food before everything closed in the area. They sent emails prior, to warn us which was great. The hotel is a little old but clean. I had a very simple room with a double bed and AC unit, shared bathroom and shower. They let us store our luggage a few hours in the morning after check out. Overall loved how close it was to the temples. I would definitely stay here again! ##### Belen Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 4 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The facility has thin walls and creaky floors so if you are a light sleeper, this may wake you up. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Randlyn 28 Apr 2023 Disliked: Staff & service Very disappointed ##### Randlyn Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Hiramatsu Hotels & Resorts Ginoza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-THE-HIRAMATSU-HOTELS-RESORTS-GINOZA.h32897372.Hotel-Information) > - [Fujisan Onsen Bessho SASA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Bessho-SASA.h14626817.Hotel-Information) > - [HOSHINOYA Taketomi Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taketomi-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Taketomi-Island.h5567170.Hotel-Information) > - [La Vista Fuji Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-La-Vista-Fuji-Kawaguchiko.h15976788.Hotel-Information) > - [Fufu Kawaguchiko](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-FUFU-KAWAGUCHIKO.h33760212.Hotel-Information) > - [Highland Resort Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Highland-Resort-Hotel-Spa.h990130.Hotel-Information) > - [HOTEL MYSTAYS Fuji Onsen Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-HOTEL-MYSTAYS-Fuji-Onsen-Resort.h16114229.Hotel-Information) > - [Ryokan Sakaya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nagano-Hotels-Ryokan-Sakaya.h11821616.Hotel-Information) > - [Yukimurasaki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takayama-Hotels-Yukimurasaki.h15827086.Hotel-Information) > - [Sado Ryotsu Shiizaki Onsen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sado-Hotels-SADO-RYOTSU-SHIIZAKI-ONSEN-SUNSETLAKE-THE-HOTEL-AOKIYA.h23365964.Hotel-Information) > - [Rusutsu Resort Hotel & Convention](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Niseko-Hotels-Rusutsu-Resort-Hotel-Convention.h3948188.Hotel-Information) > - [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > - [Fuji Onsenji Yumedono](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-Onsenji-Yumedono.h9635420.Hotel-Information) > - [Wakoshi Tobu Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saitama-Hotels-Wakoshi-Tobu-Hotel.h40135307.Hotel-Information) > - [aduminoyu onyado nonomatsumoto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Matsumoto-Hotels-Aduminoyu-Onyado-Nonomatsumoto.h87802389.Hotel-Information) > - [Ohnoso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Onjuku-Hotels-Ohnoso.h98506481.Hotel-Information) > - [Unzen Azumaen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Unzen-Hotels-Unzen-Azumaen.h5775168.Hotel-Information) > - [Grand Mercure Okinawa Cape Zanpa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-Royal-Hotel-OKINAWA-ZANPAMISAKI.h5963317.Hotel-Information) > - [Fuji View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-View-Hotel.h2333483.Hotel-Information) > - [HOSHINOYA Okinawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Okinawa.h40226148.Hotel-Information) > - [LiVEMAX AMMS CanNa Resort Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-LiVEMAX-AMMS-CanNa-Resort-Villa.h5133859.Hotel-Information) > - [Forest Villa Huis Ten Bosch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sasebo-Hotels-Huis-Ten-Bosch-Forest-Villa.h11900097.Hotel-Information) > - [Glamday Style Hotel & Resort Okinawa Yomitan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-GLAMDAY-STYLE-HOTELRESORT-OKINAWA-YOMITAN.h33352505.Hotel-Information) > - [edit x seven FUJI GOTEMBA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gotemba-Hotels-FAV-LUX-FUJI-GOTEMBA.h112914944.Hotel-Information) > - [KAZENOOKA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Motobu-Hotels-KAZENOOKA.h106025944.Hotel-Information) > - [Asakusasannsou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uonuma-Hotels-Asakusasannsou.h94758363.Hotel-Information) > - [Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Tokyo-Disney-Celebration-Hotel.h21163232.Hotel-Information) > - [Asukasou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nara-Hotels-Asukasou.h2936627.Hotel-Information) ---
