Hotele z: bar w Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Mount Fuji. The highlight was definitely the view from my room's balcony, where I could see both Mt. Fuji and Lake Yamanakako. Waking up to such a beautiful scenery was unforgettable. I also loved that the room had a tatami corner—it quickly became my favorite spot to relax and enjoy the view. The hotel has two outdoor onsen, which were perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. Breakfast offered a great variety of choices, and the floor-to-ceiling windows in the dining area provided a stunning view of Mt. Fuji while enjoying the meal. The hotel is located on top of a hill, so getting there by public transportation can be a little challenging. As a solo traveler without a car, I really appreciated the complimentary shuttle service, which picked me up from the 7-Eleven at the bottom of the hill. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would happily return. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with breathtaking views of Mt. Fuji.

The hotel's location is excellent. The room was spacious, and the cleanliness was acceptable. Unfortunately, our room didn't offer a view of Mount Fuji, but we did have a lake view. After reading previous reviews, my expectations were low, but the service was actually quite good, and several South Asian staff members were very friendly and welcoming. After calling from Kawaguchiko Station, a car arrived to pick us up in just 10 minutes, and there's a shuttle service to the station in the morning. The hotel is located in the heart of Kawaguchiko, with many dining options nearby. A bus stop for the Red and Green lines is just a 2-minute walk away, making sightseeing convenient, though local buses do stop running quite early. Breakfast was also good, a standard Japanese ryokan 'one night, two meals' offering. Overall, I'm satisfied.

Probably one of the most kids friendly hotels I’ve ever been to. The entire basement is full of kids activities and the highlight is the massive wooden playhouse. Third floor has multiple game rooms (train room, music room, wooden ball runs) and a big japanese style tatami communal lounge with boardgames, free flow drinks and snacks at certain timing. There are even rental of potty seats, high chairs etc FOC. However, we went late March and the surrounding areas are mostly closed. We almost couldn’t find a restaurant to eat past 8pm. Makiba park and Moegi village were closed too. I’d suggest going at the non-peak period for more activities outside of the hotel, make your 4-hr drive from Tokyo worthwhile! The rooms are old Japanese style, slightly dated but spacious and clean. Hot spring is more like a big bathhouse. Staff are friendly and helpful. Keep it up!

I very much enjoyed my stay at the Shimobe Hotel. I originally wanted to stay at a nearby temple in Mount Minobe but realized that it was mainly an experience made for foreigners. I think we were the only foreigners there for our 2-night stay. I personality want to avoid staying with foreigners and want more of the local experience. The service was great, they could check you in and out without too much of a language barrier. We added dinner during check-in without any problem, we realized that the town closed early at night and was concerned that we wouldn't find a great place to eat dinner. The buffet dinner was great and we got a complimentary sashimi plate and yuzu highball on our second day. The breakfast buffet was also very good with a mix of local and western dishes. The station is located right near the hotel so it makes it a perfect spot to make a quick Mount Minobe day trip.

We stayed in the traditional room which we wanted to try. It was a fun experience but not one to do if you have a bad back. The onsen is nice, there were 3 communal onsens and the one cold plunge in the ladies section. All pools were a bit small and could probably hold 6-8 ppl max. The hotel offered free refreshment drinks before 5pm after that there are vending machines in the lobby of the onsen. There's a shuttle every hour to the station in town which is convenient but would be better if they ran every 30mins. Staff are very kind and professional. I asked for towels as larger robes which arrived instantly. The hotel doesn't have anything nearby so be prepared to use bikes, scooters the shuttle or your own car

Yanagiya is a nice little local onsen. They do not have too many rooms so you will not feel overcrowded. It is a nice place to spend for days to relax your body and mind. Staff are very friendly and helpful. They can speak limited English but in case you come across any issue with language, feel free to use translation app. If you are driving, the onsen is easy to find and there is a carpark in front of the Onsen with plenty of space. There are also 2 x EV charging but not sure if they are for onsen guess. The room is spacious, clean and tidy. The air conditioner is featured with heater and cooler function, so you don't have to worry about weather during winter and summer. The hot spring is open for 24 hrs, except time when they swap between male and female access, usually it takes 30 minutes and they take this opportunity to clean up the facilities too. Food are generally fine and portion is reasonable. Staff are caring d considerate. We have two kids at age of 7 and 9 and they do not take spicy or raw food. When they noticed, they have offered to tailor made the breakfast for the kids so that they don't prepare food that kids do not eat.

It was so comfy and clean, it was my fault that i booked the smoke room i thought there’s no any other room available and im pregnant currently. Just a friendly reminder if somebody’s pregnant or hate the smell of smoke do not book it cus u can smell it inside too. But overall we had a nice stay. My room and my families room are separated they got the twin room but same floor. The view from my room is amazing and stunning! I would love to go back again. The staffs are very nice and approchable as well. And the sauna, i have no words to say but absolutely relaxing, they have a herb sauna, wine sauna, a swimming pool, salt area and outdoor area. I was really stunned and the temperature of heat is perfectly fine for a pregnant i guess cus its not summer yet. But don’t stay for too long i only stayed for 5 minutes each place cus its rly not good to stay for so long if you’re pregnant. I’m btw 28weeks so i think if ure pregnant u can still be at sauna. The place is also closed to all the restaurants and stores really a good location. Very quiet and peaceful place. Thank you so much for letting us stay and will definitely go back!

Our trip to Lake Kawaguchiko with Mount Fuji was a fresh and exciting experience! We got to see Mount Fuji and also enjoy a campfire and camping. It's perfect for families, couples too, and the atmosphere was absolutely amazing! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 The location isn't super close to Kawaguchiko Station; it's about an 11-minute taxi ride, so it's more suitable for those with their own car. Along the way, you'll see a pretty big daily necessities shopping area worth exploring. At the hotel's entrance, there's a burger joint, a pizza place, and a steak restaurant, all of which are quite good. The hotel has its own shuttle bus 🚌. To get picked up from Kawaguchiko Station to the campsite, you need a Japanese phone number to call and book in advance. There's no shuttle service on weekends. For the return trip to Kawaguchiko, you can book with the front desk beforehand, and they'll drop off both people! We didn't know this and only found out by chance when we met other guests taking the shuttle! An 11-minute ride saved us over a hundred yen in taxi fares, sniff sniff~ PAO is the tent area ⛺, and Villa is the small villa area 🏡. For first-timers, I'd recommend the small villas. The tools and facilities explanations there are more comprehensive and complete, plus they have a private hot tub! For those in the tent area, the restrooms are outside the tent, which is a bit inconvenient. Both areas can use the large public bath in the lobby, which is separated by gender. The email mentioned that outside food is not allowed, and breakfast and dinner require ordering the hotel's set meals to cook yourself. However, the room comes with a bundle of firewood and a portable stove. In the PAO area, you can experience chopping wood, and we were given a glass bottle to remind us to try fetching water from Mount Fuji. There's also an 'Easter egg hunt' activity where you can exchange a certain number of finds for small gifts. This camping spot encourages building a fire for warmth 🔥, but remember to operate it correctly and safely in designated areas. On a clear night, sitting outdoors by the fire with a blanket, gazing at the stars, creates an incredibly atmospheric experience 🌌. Even though it was my first time and I didn't do extensive research, I already think it's unbeatable. Coming here as a family was much more interesting and fun than just seeing the lake, cherry blossoms, and shopping in Kawaguchiko. We had a blast! 🥰🥰🥰

My stay at the Fuji Marriott Hotel Lake Yamanaka was absolutely rejuvenating. The hotel perfectly captures the serene beauty of the Fuji Five Lakes area, offering a tranquil environment that feels incredibly spacious and well-integrated with the surrounding nature.

The hotel's location is excellent, right by Lake Kawaguchiko, offering beautiful and pleasant lake views from the room window. We were lucky to have good weather and saw Mount Fuji in the morning—there's a metal staircase outside the hotel that leads to the fourth floor, perfect for viewing Mount Fuji. The hotel is also about a 10-15 minute walk from the popular Lawson convenience store (Lawson Kawaguchiko-eki-mae), a famous photo spot. As long as the weather is good, Mount Fuji is visible everywhere! The only minor downside was not being able to book breakfast at the hotel, but we unexpectedly found a large supermarket on the way to Lawson, which was well-stocked and affordable—a great find!
