Shoji Mount Hotel

The hotel on the shore of Lake Shojin has recently become famous for being the location for the filming of the Japanese drama "Hotspot". The hotel is relatively simple, but basically qualified. The front desk staff are all Southeast Asian faces and can only speak simple English. However, the room type was upgraded.

The service is very good. The hotel is quiet and the view is very good. You can see Mt. Fuji from the window in the room.

The view is great, the balcony is facing Mount Fuji, it stands clearly in front of you, there is nothing to hide, and the important thing is that there is no debris blocking it

This small hotel quietly stands on the shore of Lake Shojiko, the smallest of the Fuji Five Lakes. It became famous as a location for the TV drama "Hot Spot." Cars come one after another to take photos and then leave. It's now a tourist spot in itself. The building is old. It's cleaned to a certain extent, but when I entered the room after checking in and found stains on the carpet and long hairs on the tatami mat, I thought, "Well, I guess that's understandable." There's no one at the front desk. They basically call you. I definitely felt that they were short-staffed. The bath was good. I was able to relax alone in the large public bath before dinner. When I checked in, the front desk told me that the hotel was fully booked and there were only two Japanese groups, including us, so I wondered if the foreigners were in the indoor bath? Maybe that's why it was empty. There was no one in the morning bath either. As a hotel, it was average, and it felt more like a business hotel than a tourist hotel. Even after the filming boom is over, I hope they'll keep doing their best to make it a good place to come even if you can't see Mt. Fuji.
