There are two outdoor onsen areas and both are clean and amazing. The place is a little dated but it is clean with nice staff and breakfast buffet

Lovely place to stay!

Cozy and picturesque. A lot of families with children. Really loved the views of the lake, the onsen, and the dinner. Staff was friendly, attentive, and fluent in English. Only downside is the location is not very convenient, it's about a 20 minute walk into town. There's sidewalks and the walk is pleasant, but the buses don't run very frequently, so keep that in mind if you won't have a car and are opposed to walking.

This hotel was nice and had some great amenities, but it is located pretty far from the train station and it seems the buses in the area stop running at 6:30 pm. Most businesses (like restaurants) also close around this time, so at least you can enjoy the onsen in the evening when there’s not much else to do!

The hotel is located in a quiet area of the lake, within walking distance to Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway and other spots for a good view of Mt. Fuji. Hotel staff was very friendly. Rooms are clean with a big window towards the lake, it is a bit old and dated though. Breakfast and dinner are included, Japanese style. Hotel includes onsen bath, but I did not have time to enjoy.

We wanted an authentic Japanese hotel experience in our visit to Mount Fuji. It was that and could have been a great hotel when it was built long ago. The rooms were smaller than we expected - even for an old Japanese hotel. Functional with tonsu area with two mats made up for it beds and a little table next to the windows overlooking the lake. Fuji mountain was to the left and just out of view but viable a short walk away. I would have probably chosen a hotel further up the lake as they appear to view Mount Fuji and the lake if I had been able to see that before arriving. Two nights allows for the long train ride to get there from Hamada, check in (nice snacks, robes, and amenities from the hotel), eat dinner, walk a bit in the area and check out where the cable car goes up the mountain behind the hotel to get to a great view of Fuji and buy some fruit for breakfast at the Lawson’s that is about a -0 minute walk away. The next day we did the cable car, a boat ride on the lake, and took the bus to station 5 on the mountain. That was our full day - the next morning we checked out and their shuttle took us to the train station for our transportation that Narita or head home.

Good stat overall

The service was great. The room and places needs an upgraded but still stayable condition. They charged me 150 Yen for each person for the usage of the hot pool (need to check the fine print) again for this charges...free shuttle service to the train station was an added bonus...there is a nearby restaurant which is at a walkable distance....breakfast was great and service must be complemented

Hotel Koryu is excellent in all matters; helpful, caring staff in particular. I am vegetarian and was catered for with imagination and style. If I visit Fujikawaguchiko in the future I will definitely stay at Hotel Koryu.

Very nice Ryokan for quality/price

This ryokan offers a really good experience for the price (usually ryokans are very expensive).
For sure it is not luxury style but the service and food offered for breakfast does level up to luxurious ones.
If you havent booked the dinner with them, you can get dinner next door at Tsujiya (only restaurant at walking distance) but be sure to arrive early as they close at 7:15pm.
There are 2 onsens: a big one on ground floor with indoor and outdoor baths and another medium outdoor one on 2nd floor with a nice view.
Staff speaks basic English and it is enough to communicate (Thank you to Miss Aoruki for her great service).
They provide free pickup and drop off service, you just need to go to the tourist information center at Kawaguchiko station and ask them to call the hotel for you.

Pretty good but watch out for smoke smell

overall it was really good, but the non smoking room we stayed in had a very strong smell of cigarettes, and was a bit old and run down.

Staff were great and location was perfect for getting snapshots of Mt Fuji over the lake!

The hotel was easy to get to by bus from Kawaguchiko station. It is close to the Kachi kachi ropeway from which you can see Mt. Fuji on a clear day. All rooms face the lake. However, Mt. Fuji is hidden from the hotel by Mt.Tenjo on which the ropeway is. Both the indoor and outdoor public baths were good and warm.

Cute traditional hotel in Fuji

Option of hot baths was an awesome additional to this hotel, had very traditional style/interiors and friendly staff. Be aware however that smoking appears to be permitted so our room smelt a little of cigarettes which was disappointing and couldn't open a window for fresh air. Overall pretty nice ryokan to stay at for an affordable price!
