Lovely hotel right at the front of Lake Kawaguchiko. We arrived at Kawaguchiko station at 3pm and asked the lady at the tourist information how to get there. She surprisingly called the hotel so we can get picked up by the shuttle van! There's a regular shuttle van that goes to Kawaguchiko station every morning, from 7am to 10am. The hotel staff are nice and friendly. The room was clean and spacious! We very much enjoyed the hot spring at the hotel. Would stay here again.

Onsen had amazing Mt Fuji views plus there is option for hot bath, cold bath, and sauna. Hotel next door did not have that. Breakfast is so delicious, you have to take part.

This is a lovely old place. I loved the traditional Japanese-style room, complete with futon & tatami mat! The staff are very kind, and the hotel has a lot of amenities & locations to explore within, all with a unique, authentic retro style. The size of the room felt palatial compared to the ones I had in Tokyo and Kyoto. I like the location - you can easily walk to good restaurants, e-bike/boat rentals, Lawson’s & the Scenic Ropeway, yet it still feels remote enough to be relaxing. My only big disappointment was the privacy/modesty window cling in the ladies’ onsen. I understand why it has to be there, as that side faces a neighborhood, but it ruins the view. If you are actually sitting down in the bath, you can’t see anything. I strongly suggest this hotel to look into window treatments that will stop people from looking in but not stop your guests from looking out. “Bathing while enjoying a view of Mt.Fuji” was a major reason I booked this property, so this was frustrating for me. If it can’t be replaced, why not alternate the baths? I noticed from the street that the lakeside men’s bath has no such block. Additionally… a sign with onsen etiquette might go a long way. I witnessed many of my fellow travelers hopping right into the bath without showering properly, not understanding what to do with their towels, etc. This is obviously not the hotel’s fault, but they might be able to help it a bit~
