Hotel Koryu

Great stay and their bath was tattoo friendly. My friend and I both have full sleeve tattoos.

This hotel was nice and had some great amenities, but it is located pretty far from the train station and it seems the buses in the area stop running at 6:30 pm. Most businesses (like restaurants) also close around this time, so at least you can enjoy the onsen in the evening when there’s not much else to do!

The best hotel ever. Hot spring and open space with lake view

The hotel is located in a quiet area of the lake, within walking distance to Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway and other spots for a good view of Mt. Fuji. Hotel staff was very friendly. Rooms are clean with a big window towards the lake, it is a bit old and dated though. Breakfast and dinner are included, Japanese style. Hotel includes onsen bath, but I did not have time to enjoy.

We wanted an authentic Japanese hotel experience in our visit to Mount Fuji. It was that and could have been a great hotel when it was built long ago. The rooms were smaller than we expected - even for an old Japanese hotel. Functional with tonsu area with two mats made up for it beds and a little table next to the windows overlooking the lake. Fuji mountain was to the left and just out of view but viable a short walk away. I would have probably chosen a hotel further up the lake as they appear to view Mount Fuji and the lake if I had been able to see that before arriving. Two nights allows for the long train ride to get there from Hamada, check in (nice snacks, robes, and amenities from the hotel), eat dinner, walk a bit in the area and check out where the cable car goes up the mountain behind the hotel to get to a great view of Fuji and buy some fruit for breakfast at the Lawson’s that is about a -0 minute walk away. The next day we did the cable car, a boat ride on the lake, and took the bus to station 5 on the mountain. That was our full day - the next morning we checked out and their shuttle took us to the train station for our transportation that Narita or head home.

The room was clean and unique; the hotel is also walkable to the ropeway for Mt. Fuji views!

Nice to have private onsen overseeing the lake and mountain. Will definitely recommend.

the property is old already, not much for dining options

Good

The room is as advertised. Traditional Japanese room.

Nice hotel with onsen right infront of the lake.rooms with lake view are the best.

Great location, good service, friendly staff, nice on Sen. Hotel facility is old.

Great view from hot spring. Nice staff. Overall would recommend!

Nice hotel with lake view and excellent onsen !

Was a great spa and lovely views from my room. Not much English spoken or written down so I wasnt sure what staff were saying although they were very friendly. Pillows are solid and very uncomfortable but great stay and id recommend it!

The service was great. The room and places needs an upgraded but still stayable condition. They charged me 150 Yen for each person for the usage of the hot pool (need to check the fine print) again for this charges...free shuttle service to the train station was an added bonus...there is a nearby restaurant which is at a walkable distance....breakfast was great and service must be complemented

Hotel Koryu is excellent in all matters; helpful, caring staff in particular. I am vegetarian and was catered for with imagination and style. If I visit Fujikawaguchiko in the future I will definitely stay at Hotel Koryu.

This ryokan offers a really good experience for the price (usually ryokans are very expensive). For sure it is not luxury style but the service and food offered for breakfast does level up to luxurious ones. If you havent booked the dinner with them, you can get dinner next door at Tsujiya (only restaurant at walking distance) but be sure to arrive early as they close at 7:15pm. There are 2 onsens: a big one on ground floor with indoor and outdoor baths and another medium outdoor one on 2nd floor with a nice view. Staff speaks basic English and it is enough to communicate (Thank you to Miss Aoruki for her great service). They provide free pickup and drop off service, you just need to go to the tourist information center at Kawaguchiko station and ask them to call the hotel for you.

overall it was really good, but the non smoking room we stayed in had a very strong smell of cigarettes, and was a bit old and run down. Staff were great and location was perfect for getting snapshots of Mt Fuji over the lake!

Very​ good​ in​ all​ facilities that​ hotel​ can​ provide especially the​ on-site Onsen is​ superb
