Hotels With Bar in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

A hidden gem of a hotel with spectacular views of Mount Fuji! I booked a random room just a week before Golden Week, and upon entering, I was immediately struck by how spacious and bright it was. The room itself was also very roomy and incredibly clean. Both of their hot springs offer direct, panoramic views of Mount Fuji! The large floor-to-ceiling windows in the breakfast restaurant started my day off beautifully. It happened to be Children's Day in Japan, and the hotel thoughtfully provided games and movies for the kids. I was very satisfied with this stay. I highly recommend staying two or three nights – it's truly rejuvenating.

The hostess is absolutely wonderful. If I ever come back to Mount Fuji, I'd choose this hotel specifically because of her. She helped me book a car to see the fireworks festival, translated for me, lent me a bicycle to ride around the lake, and even offered to drive me when it rained while I was on my way to Lake Yamanaka Hirano. She's the same age as my father and married into Japan a long time ago. The hot springs are great, and breakfast is delicious. Facilities: Very comprehensive Hygiene: Clean Environment: Excellent Service: Outstanding

We had a wonderful stay at Grand Mercure Yatsugatake as a family traveling with a baby. The hotel is surrounded by nature, with beautiful views of the mountains, which immediately creates a calm and relaxing atmosphere — perfect for families who want to slow down and breathe. The hotel is very family-friendly. Traveling with a baby can be stressful, but the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we arrived. Everyone was kind, patient, and attentive, which really made a difference for us as parents. The room was spacious, clean, and quiet, with enough space to comfortably stay with a baby. We especially appreciated the peaceful environment at night, which allowed our baby (and us!) to rest well. The facilities were also well suited for families. The common areas are easy to navigate with a stroller, and the overall layout of the hotel feels relaxed and not overwhelming. The natural surroundings add a special charm and make the stay feel refreshing and rejuvenating. Overall, Grand Mercure Yatsugatake is an excellent choice for families with babies who are looking for comfort, tranquility, and good service in a beautiful natural setting. We would definitely consider coming back and recommend it to other families traveling with young children.

This hotel has a very traditional, old-fashioned feel. We arrived at Lake Kawaguchiko around 11 PM, so we had to take a taxi to the hotel. We rang the bell at the front desk, and a staff member, wearing traditional wooden clogs, came out. They barely understood English but were very dedicated. They escorted us to our room, meticulously explaining each facility, and even gestured to show us where breakfast would be served. If you want a lake view, I recommend booking a Japanese-style room. We booked a Western-style room, which was on the other side, and in the morning, we saw smoke rising from chimneys outside – a charming, everyday scene. We didn't see any bears, but surprisingly, we spotted monkeys! Breakfast was a set meal, though eating fish so early in the morning took some getting used to. The morning shuttle can take you to Lake Kawaguchiko. For the return trip in the afternoon, the shuttle only picks up after 3 PM. Alternatively, you can take the Red Line bus to a jewelry museum (I can't recall the exact stop) and walk a few steps from there. On weekend evenings, you can watch fireworks from across the river, right outside the hotel. They launch them from both the left and right sides. If you want a closer view, follow the crowd to the left for about 10 minutes.

The bathroom was a bit cramped, though. The sink was too close to the tatami mat, which made it awkward to wash up and water easily splashed onto the floor. However, the onsen service was fantastic – that's why we chose this place! There are two baths, so you can switch between them, and the water was very clean. It's also quite convenient for seeing Mt. Fuji in pink the next day, about a 7-minute walk from Kawaguchiko Ohashi Bridge.

This onsen ryokan offers excellent value for money. The room window faces Mt. Fuji directly, so waking up to that view was incredibly moving. The ryokan itself is also new and very comfortable. Although I didn't dine at their restaurant, I did take a look inside, and the interior decor is tasteful. I would definitely choose to stay here again.

We were so impressed when we checked in around 6pm—Mt. Fuji was perfectly clear! The reception staff were very thoughtful, explaining the onsen, activities, and double-checking our booking. They even guided us to the camping site and let us fill bottles with Mt. Fuji’s pure mineral water—so welcoming. Breakfast and BBQ dinner were excellent, with fresh ingredients and tasty meat. The staff were very helpful during the night-time BBQ—amazing service! The private toilet, shower, and onsen were very clean. Convenient location near a supermarket, and we even saw Mt. Fuji again when checking out. We’ll definitely come back!

It is a hotel with a retro atmosphere in Showa. The room was too large for 3 people. The staff was kind and very satisfied. It's a historic building, but it's cleaned properly. The futon was also fuzzy. The hot springs were also effective and recovered from fatigue. I thought it would be popular in an inn that feels the bubble era if I renewed a little. Thank you 😊

Approximately 11 min walk from the station which isn’t too bad. However, it might be quite a walk if you have 2 big luggages. Booked a private room on the 2nd floor and thankfully the staff (male) helped us carry our bags up the stairs. The shower was well equipped with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash and lots of hot water and good pressure. Walls are rather thin so you can hear people walking up and down the stairs or even opening their bags. Hotel view was amazing from the room

The hotel is very close to Lake Kawaguchi, making it a great starting point for sightseeing around the lake. It's also close to shops. The owner was very nice and helped me take my luggage upstairs. When I left, he took me to the station. The room is actually suitable for families, with standard Japanese tatami. You need to go downstairs to take a shower, but you can usually wash up in the room. The environment is very comfortable.
