Guesthouse Sakuya

Room was clean, spacious enough, heating on. View of Fuji with greenery outside window. Very quiet. Dinner and breakfast can be preordered. Friendly home couple

We had a lovely experience staying in Sakuya hotel. The owners were very kind and helpful, offered us shuttle van to go to town. Offered us private onsen which was very relaxing. Rooms were futon bed with a view of Mt Fuji, breakfast was so yum. Would definitely come next time.

We arrived after dark via taxi and were surprised at the incredible location and architecture. This is an authentic Japanese experience— tatami floors and comfortable futon mats!! We knew we would be magically surprised in the morning and we were! It’s nestled up on the hillside with an incredible view of Mt Fuji! It was a treat to be able to privately soak before bed in an ofuro (we imagine it too has a view of Mt Fuji in the day). Sunrise view in the room of Mt Fuji was unreal! Framed in the most beautiful natural setting. The guesthouse is clean, and the hosts are very friendly and well knowledgable in the area. And fluent in English! Breakfast was delicious and so healthy! A absolute must! The owner was kind enough to drive us to our 9:30 am sake brewery tour in town. We definitely want to stay at Sakuya Guesthouse again and hopefully also climb Fuji San!

Loin de tout mais belle vue du Mont Fuji. Lit pas confortable et chambre mal isolé pour le bruit.

Amazing view from the onsen

We loved the fact that it was owned by a family. Felt very homey and cozy. Would definitely come again. It was the best experience for first timers visiting Mt Fuji/Lake Kawaguchiko area. Great price and loved the Onsen too!!

I didn't like very poor facilities of a room, high price for such a hotel. Expensive but poor breakfast. The small pool is available only two hours. I wonder how this hotel received 9.2 points and status wonderful!

Comfortable stay in a charming and lovely guesthouse. Greeted with amazing views of Mt Fuji in the morning directly from the room. Good breakfast. Nice bathing facilities which you can book privately in the evening. Hosts were amazing and provided good recommendations for things to do throughout our stay. Walls are on the thinner side and we could sometimes hear other guests (some loud snorers in the night) but overall no problem. Would be happy to stay there again.

We needed a hotel for a two day hockey tournament in Kofu. We chose this hotel because of its location and affordability and it did not disappoint. It is located in a beautiful area and the view from our room of Mount Fuji and the fall colors was amazing! I travelled with my 12 year old and 5 year old and had a twin room. At check in the owner was very informative and told me all about what meal options they had and asked if we would be partaking. We passed because of our game schedule but the options looked good. He also gave me a nice big map of the area with things to do and allowed us to reserve a private onsen after our late night game which we loved. I especially appreciated it since I have tattoos and usually cannot use onsens. There were two robes in the room to use and towels as well. The room also has a nice deep soaking tub if onsen is not your thing. They had a nice big lounge area just past reception and I also saw an outside deck area. I’d love to come back here for a romantic get away with my my husband.

Pleasant family run guesthouse away from the tourists with a wonderful outdoor setting and view of Fuji when she deigns to make an appearance.

Great location ! Great view ! They have a private onsen and most important the family who runs the place is just fantastic

The property was a bit out of the way which made it harder to get to but quieter and less touristy. We rented a car, which proved a challenge to drive. The Guesthouse will provide some transportation, which probably would have been a better choice. Very nice onsen.

The food and service are very good. Very friendly hosts that make you feel at home.

calm and peaceful environment . very nice public dinning and living serving good breakfast. Room condition is okay . Onsen is an added value.

We loved Sakura. It’s a gem of a place. There’s a free private onsen, the dinners and breakfasts are affordable and delicious. My partner needed Gluten free meals and host provided wonderful meals for her at no extra cost. Every room gets a view of Mt Fuji and its peaceful and quiet tucked away with some forest on the sides with no visible neighbours. It’s about 30 years old and we really loved the vibe of the place.

Very great view, breakfast and dinner options. Lovely onsen which was private and very relaxing. Gave rides into town and train station.

The service and staff were fantastic the meals were excellent and the private bath house was great after a day exploring highly recommended

Every room does infect have a view of Mnt Fuji. The onset is lovely and the staff lovely. The food was good and everything very clean. It is a bit out of the way if you don't have a car , but the staff can arrange limited transport.

We went there after an exciting daybat Fuji-Q Highland. The host was very nice.

The customer service is excellent. The house has character and is very comfortable. We enjoyed the onsen facilities. Owners have information about the area and provide transport to the train station. We enjoyed the fish dinners and traditional Japanese breakfast. The hallway rugs have seen better days and need to be replaced. Note that the house has great views of the lake and Mount Fuji, but is far from town and restaurants. However, the owners provide transport to the public transport tourist bus. If you have a car, this location is perfect to enjoy the area without the tourist crowds. For us the location was perfect to get away from the crowds in town.
