Hotel Nishi In Fujisan

This hotel was amazing. The staff and housekeeping were nice and exceptional. The public bath was very nice and there is a separate one for women that they keep a key for at the front. The room met my needs as the area was nice, quiet and calm. As an added bonus, you get views of Mt. Fuji almost everywhere you walk.

Very interesting experience. You must take your shoes off at the door and put them into a locker that has a pair of slippers for you to wear inside the hotel. The room was small but clean, with a very deep tub. There were no pajamas (something that I have found in a number of hotels). It was a bit out of the way, and Google maps took me to the wrong place - though if I just looked up I could have seen the sign on the side of the building. Warning: the bowl of eggs in the breakfast is raw not hardboiled.

I stayed over for New Year Day - it was fun to walk around the local area and see how locals celebrate the incoming new year. There is a nice Kushiyaki restaurant close by.
