Incorrect phone number given but great bus service

They provide an amazing pick-up service with one caveat; they sent the WRONG PHONE NUMBER to call. (The correct number is able to be found on the internet easily, I am just not very smart)
When you call the number they send, it tells you the number doesn't exist.
I had to take a bus up to the place, and then walk uphill in the dark with my luggage for about 20 minutes.

They give you a convenient book that tells you the Bus station information desk can call them. But they didn't send this information in the 3 messages they send you. But they do give you the wrong phone number twice. They should include this information in this email as it will help a lot.

This problem made my experience quite stressful. But it is something they can easily fix. So I still recommend this place. I particularly recommend this place with larger groups, as the cabins are spacious. They are cleaned well, and the kitchen is very convenient for cooking. The bathtubs were good, and the water was nice and hot!! Very hot water, I'm very happy with that.

The room was very large and had 2 floors, which we can choose either to sleep on normal single bed or futon. It also had two restrooms which was good if you travel with the group.

The hotel served us simple breakfast with breads, veggie soup, juices & coffee at the room which was very nice although it was a bit too much for us.

A few cons here would be the location of each room which is uphill and it wasn't pleasant to drag all heavy luggage to the room while check out time was a bit too early compared to other hotels we stayed.

We were a party of 8. We arrived early before check-in time and the hotel allowed us to drop off our luggage. The check-in was smooth and they have staff who spoken English and Chinese.
We requested for bbq and it was setup in almost no time. We finished the bbq and went into the cottage to warm up for about 30 mins and by the time we came out to clear the pit, the hotel staff had already cleared it.
The cottage was clean and well equipped. We could see Mt Fuji from the front as well as the upper rooms. We did not use the onsen. Overall, we are very happy with our stay. Will definitely consider stay here again especially if the group is big.

Great cottage at the hillside with a fantastic view of the lake and Mt Fuji. Paid breakfast was good and delivered to your cottage at your preferred time.
However, we had to pay extra utilities bill of JPY2640 when we check out of the place. Wasn’t quite expecting that we have to pay these extras though.

Outstanding place to stay

this was a lovely place for a large extended family holiday. The cottages were really spacious, clean and well equipped. They supplied prepared food for a barbecue one evening and for a crab hot pot on the next evening There was lots of food and it was great sitting out together on the deck cooking drinking and laughing. The staff were excellent and some spoke English our stay could not have been improved. It was good in every way

Great countryside cottage

Quite sad that we arrive at 10 so we miss the onsen there. The environment was amazing, especially when we could see Mountain Fuji from our cottage. The breakfast was also great - it was brought to us in the morning at a time we specified when we check in. The stew tasted fresh and flavourful! After we read the guide, we found out that if we ask the staff at Kawaguchi station, they would notify the hotel and send someone to pick us up. If we have arrived early, we would not be taking taxi instead!

The cottage very beautiful and well maintained. The only down side is we were arranged to stay in the highest hillside and farthest cottage which can not reach by car and need to climb the stair. It a bit difficult for my parent. Public bath also located very far from my cottage, have to go by the same way and climb the same stair.

Wonderful place to stay!

Travelling and staying at Kawaguchiko country cottage Ban was definitely a highlight to our trip. We stayed over night and wished we have of stayed longer. We got the courtesy bus from the station to the cottage with a quick stop at the Supermarket to get supplies for dinner. The bus driver was super helpful & it was fun trying to work out what everything was! The cottages were beautiful, clean & comfortable. The views of Mt Fuji from our balcony were amazing. It was a casual 15 minute stroll to the lake. We were able to take in the view of Mt Fuji, it was so beautiful. If you had time it would be gorgeous to paddle on the lake in the giant swans! The staff at the Cottages were so friendly and accommodating. We would totally recommend to stay here. It is at the quieter end of town; but after the hustle and bustle of Tokyo it was so beautiful. Thanks for having us! We'll be back!

Met Expectations and Then Some

I had done a lot of research, and Kawaguchiko Country Cottage Ban met my expectations and then some. It was just like in the photos I viewed online. We stayed 3 nights and were able to catch great views of Mt. Fuji from just outside our front door (and also from our cabin, but through the trees). The grounds themselves are very nice as is the onsen, which we used every day. We rented bikes one day and rode all the way around Lake Kawaguchi (about 10 miles). If you have good weather I highly recommend doing that! The town where the cottages are located has some good restaurants. One day we walked to the maple tunnel, waterfront, and all the way back via the area where the shrine is located. All the staff was very friendly and helpful despite limited English (one employee spoke English well, so she helped us the most). We had a hot, western style breakfast delivered to our cabin daily. It was very good, except it was almost exactly the same every time. It would've been nice for it to be different daily. Overall, we loved our stay, which was a relaxing and peaceful way to end out 2-1/2 week Japan trip. We would definitely book KawaguchikoCountry Cottage Ban again!

Set on the side of a cliff but closer enough to walk to the lakes edge. Hotel provided bus into town & pickup each day plus a special bus to take anyone to large supermarket for dinner & general supplies. Very friendly & helpful staff who were lovely enough to mail my postcard the following working day . Views of Mount Fuji from our room was stunning. Outside onsen is a must

Mount Fuji Cabin Experience!

We had a wonderful and memorable time here. Our stay here gave us a chance to have a different experience then staying at your normal hotel. Matsui and Reiko were such gracious hosts! They are an asset to the owner of this resort. We were taken to the grocery store at 5:00 at night and also they were more then happy to accommodate us by dropping us off in town and picking us up when they saw us walking back to Resort. The Resort also had everything we needed in order to have a comfortable stay. We had our own cabin. Great experience and we will be back! This place is not for the (Only Hotel, in house restaurant, top luxury client) it is for the clients who want a semi outdoor experience! Loved it!

ペット同伴可ということで1泊1棟8万円超えでも申し込みしました。とても楽しみにしておりましたが、建物は古めで、リビング居室はそれぞれ狭め、ソファーも何台もの。全体的に古びたたてもの内装でした。清潔そうな感じでしてが、蜘蛛の巣がそこらじゅうにあったり、TVの裏がものすのく埃がたまってたりで、値段でが高かっただけにガッカリ度がMAXでした。その上、お掃除の方が待機しており、外で写真を撮って荷物を積み終えたら、退出時間前なのに、お掃除入っていいかと言われ、なんだか追い出されたような感じで帰ってきました。とても残念でした。
