The water pressure in the shower was excellent, and the breakfast was delicious. The location is a walk from the train station but you can get picked up and dropped off.

I was really excited to stay here, mainly because of the amazing view of Mount Fuji, and it absolutely delivered. The rooftop view was incredible and definitely one of the highlights of our stay. Especially since it was a clear sunny day, not a cloud to be seen!

The room itself was okay. The television was quite small, though we didn’t really watch it anyway, and we understood that rooms in Japan can be a bit smaller. The experience of sleeping on the traditional tatami is very neat.

The only disappointing part was the complimentary breakfast experience. Guests could choose between a traditional Japanese breakfast, an egg salad sandwich, or another sandwich option. Our whole family had loved the egg salad sandwiches throughout Japan, so we selected those. Unfortunately, there was a mix-up and we were served the traditional breakfast instead. When we asked if it could be changed, we were told it was too late. To be fair the traditional breakfast was quite good. It seemed more like a communication breakdown than anything else.

Overall, it was still a nice place to rest and enjoy the beautiful Mount Fuji views. Also, make sure to eat at Oden nearby, great food!

The location is good but the suica room had a lingering odor that was very off-putting - the 4 airfilter machines in the room did not disguise it . The heating and cooling was difficult to maintain and the skylight in the middle of the ceiling made sleeping in impossible. The breakfast is mediocre at best. The clothes dryers are underpowered so it takes much longer to dry even a small amount of clothes than is normal. The best thing was the view of Fuji-San from the rooftop.

Room was clean but had a faint smell. Large air purifier and dehumidifier running loudly as we entered the room. The elevator has a weird carpet that catches on suitcases and makes it easy to trip. Guest floors are accessible to the public and rooms are locked via a keypad rather than keycard which makes it feel unsecured. Breakfast was average.

They have a free shuttle to the station in the morning too which is convenient. It’s walkable to local recommended restaurants but is quite dark so for 600¥ Ubers are also an option! You can even hire bikes during the day from the hotel. I would recommend this place to others and stay again if I return to the area. Thanks

The humidity was also very high, like high enough for the clothes we had on to be damp. It was nice having a restaurant on site and the food was completely adequate. But I was shocked for the beds to be so hard because other reviews said they were comfortable.

Our room had a view of Mount Fuji so that was a huge bonus. The rooftop is amazing and a real treat to do morning stretching and yoga there with that view. You are an easy walk from the lake, the boats and the rope way. If you want to do a short hike of under 1 hour, there is a steep driveway on the right of the ropeway. Climb that to the hotel and follow the road to the right. You will see signs for a flower park which in fact is at the top of a trail. There is a fantastic view up there and it’s quiet so you can enjoy Fuji in a much more tranquil environment. We still did the ropeway afterwards but the lines were very long and it took us an hour to reach the ropeway car. Get up early so you can do the boat first, then ropeway then hike. We found people tended to wake up later and then the crowds were unpleasant. If you take the 2 day pass which is ropeway, boat and tour bus, make sure you take the green line. At stop 48 there is a fantastic old village with straw rooves and glorious gardens. Someone told us about this and we would have been so sad to have missed this. I had thought 2 full days here may have been too much but I was so happy to have made some discoveries not well publicized. We didn’t bike though I love biking. The roads are narrow and although you can get off them from time to time it’s too dangerous in my opinion. If you could rent for early morning like 6, it would have been tempting because it’s about 20 k around the lake. From 8, travelers are on moving

Coffee, tea , juices are available. Ate at the restaurant which had a limited menu of 2 items. The ramen was very tasty. Hotel is approx half hour walk from kawaguchiko station.
