I recently stayed at the Royal Hotel Kawaguchiko and had a pleasant experience overall. The location is excellent—it’s conveniently close to Lake Kawaguchi and offers easy access to local attractions and transportation. The highlight, however, was the stunning view of Mount Fuji from my room. Waking up to that iconic view was absolutely breathtaking and made my stay unforgettable.
The room itself was quite old but well-maintained. While the decor felt a bit dated, everything was clean, functional, and comfortable. The space was adequate, and the upkeep showed that the hotel takes pride in maintaining its facilities.
I opted for the half-board meal plan, and the food was decent. The dinner and breakfast offerings were varied, with Japanese options. While not gourmet, the meals were satisfying and provided good value for the price.
The public onsen was another highlight of my stay. It was clean, relaxing, and offered a peaceful way to unwind after a day of exploring. The soothing hot springs with a view of the surrounding nature added to the overall experience.
Overall, the Royal Hotel Kawaguchiko is a solid choice for those looking for a comfortable stay with a fantastic view of Mount Fuji, decent meals, and a relaxing onsen experience. While the rooms could use a modern update, the cleanliness and maintenance make up for it. I would definitely consider staying here again!
