Homestays in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

The view from the hotel window was absolutely stunning. The staff were very attentive — even before the car entered the parking lot, they were already waiting there. The room was clean and stylish, and the hot spring was very satisfying. Dinner wasn’t particularly impressive, but the portion was just right. Breakfast offered a wide variety of choices. Overall, it was a very satisfying experience, and I will definitely book again the next time I come to Lake Kawaguchi.

Walking distance (around 400m?) has 24hrs convenient store. The room is very spacious. Sadly I didn't manage to see Mt.Fuji from the room the day I went, but they do provide a Mountain View Room. No issue with all the services. No issue for those who cant speak Japanese, they can communicate in both English and Mandarin here. For the bicycle rental price, it is 1000yen for 2hrs. But do note that they didn't provide a private bathroom, it is a public bathroom (Not a concern for me, but for those who prefer a better privacy do note about this) A lot of plugs in the room. Didn't face any issue with this stay. Can earn my 5-stars rating.

The staff were extremely friendly. Although this accommodation is frequented by foreigners, the glamping is very relaxing and there is an open-air bath, so the night view is beautiful and in the morning, depending on the weather, you can see Mt. Fuji right in front of you. The torii gate inside the accommodation offers a view of Mt. Fuji and is a great spot for taking photos. We stayed with our family, and it was an accommodation we would like to use again.

What an amazing location for this hotel. Good facilities and excellent service. Onsen is pretty good, also outside onsen is available. Biked around the lake which is close to the hotel, bikes can be rented from the hotel. This hotel really does have a prefect Mountain View.

eautiful Fuji view, relaxing onsen, and great hospitality I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The view of Mount Fuji was absolutely stunning — one of the highlights of my trip. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who made me feel very welcome. Both the dinner and breakfast were delicious, featuring a nice variety of Japanese dishes (see the photos for yourself!). The onsen was relaxing and clean, perfect after a long day of sightseeing. I also appreciated the good facilities, including the comfortable room and the thoughtful touch of providing a yukata for guests to wear during their stay. Overall, it’s a great place to relax and enjoy the Fuji area, offering a perfect balance of comfort, food, and beautiful scenery. Highly recommended!

Service: Very warm and welcoming. There's a ********* staff member who speaks Chinese, and the other reception staff's English is also very good, making communication easy and pleasant. In the afternoon, there are complimentary drinks, beer, and wine available. We were also escorted to our room by a woman in a kimono who served us two cups of green tea – very thoughtful service! Environment: The environment is fantastic. There's a hot spring foot bath where you can enjoy drinks, the view, and soak your feet, which is very relaxing. The private onsen also offers views of Mount Fuji, and the room wasn't as small as I expected; it's perfectly fine for a couple. Cleanliness: The cleanliness was just average. Perhaps the seat cushions weren't cleaned and disinfected promptly, as my skin is prone to allergies, and I broke out after touching them. Other areas seemed okay though. Dinner: Dinner was served in our room, and an elderly lady introduced each dish one by one, which made for quite an elaborate meal. I really liked the taste of the sake served with the meal; the other dishes were pretty standard, nothing special.

This was the hotel where we spent the most nights during our trip to Japan. First, let me explain why we chose this hotel. We were a group of four on a golf trip near Mount Fuji, and chartering a car in Japan is incredibly expensive. After two days of searching on Xiaohongshu and Ctrip, we stumbled upon this hidden gem. The owner is Chinese and offers a paid shuttle service daily from the hotel to the golf course. This service was incredibly thoughtful and convenient! While it's a paid service, it was a much more affordable and practical option compared to chartering a private car! Moving on to the service, the owners, a couple, are very genuine and down-to-earth. They sincerely provided dining recommendations, without any hidden agenda. The restaurants they suggested were all excellent value for money (a sushi restaurant and a yakiniku place) – delicious and affordable! They even took us to witness a panoramic sunset over Mount Fuji, which we truly appreciated! Lastly, regarding the hotel's location and facilities. It's situated at Lake Yamanaka near Mount Fuji, offering a peaceful and natural environment away from the crowds and bustle of Lake Kawaguchiko. It's definitely the top choice for anyone seeking tranquility. The rooms are incredibly spacious (definitely large by Japanese standards, allowing us to fully open our suitcases), perfect for families! The bathroom features a modern wet/dry separation, which is a great touch. The hotel itself is a beautiful traditional Japanese-style building. Right next door is the popular café, Paper Moon. (Unfortunately, due to our early starts and late finishes with golf, we didn't get a chance to try it. We'll definitely make sure to visit next time!) You can see Mount Fuji right from the doorstep, along with graceful swans! Overall, if you're planning a two-day stay around Mount Fuji, this is absolutely a high-value choice!

Booked two rooms with a friend, one with an open-air onsen and one without. It seems the reviews for the two bookings got swapped, so please bear with me. However, I absolutely recommend this hotel! It's within walking distance to Kawaguchiko Ohashi Bridge, which is super convenient for watching fireworks. You can also walk to the busiest part of the station area. The rooms are spacious, and the views are stunning. We had great weather that day, so we got to enjoy magnificent views of Mt. Fuji 🗻 to our heart's content. Both rooms were mountain view rooms. The open-air onsen room offered the view in picture 2, while the room without an onsen had a large window with the view in picture 1. Both were beautiful.

I don’t have much to say. I just love everything here. Just one thing that I’d personally, as a person who came with only a single pair of sneakers, I would like to have a pair of sandals provided by hotel, that could be used to walk within the camp area or from the room to restroom.

Lovely property in a great location. You’re slightly more off of the beaten track but the tourist bus stop is right out front of the hotel. Great being right by the lake. Amazing room, massive for just me. There’s no shower in the room just a toilet but the onsen was lovely and you can shower in there. Older property also be aware those with accessibility needs the hotel is up quite a steep slope/numerous stairs and then when inside there’s no lift so I had to carry my luggage up and anyone with mobility issues would struggle as I believe all the rooms are on the first floor and that’s after tackling the way up to the hotel. Staff were lovely, can’t comment on dinner or breakfast but a great traditional ryokan stay.
