Gusthof Lumiere

Located in a forest hut in the mountains, the environment is secluded and beautiful. It is best to take a taxi to get here; remember to take off your shoes when you enter the door. The boss and his wife are gentle and will actively communicate with us using a translator to guide the service; unfortunately, non-Japanese customers may not be able to enjoy the breakfast service. Every morning at 9:00 and 9:30, you can make an appointment with the boss for a free chartered car to Kawaguchiko or Mount Fuji Station (or reverse transfer). There is free hot water, coffee, etc. in the lobby on the first floor, and you can also buy other food in the refrigerator. There are also many DVDs of classic movies or music, as well as toys for children to play. The environment is beautiful, the room is large, and it gives people a sense of home. There is a DVD player in the room, and you can borrow movie discs from the boss for free on the first floor. In the hot summer, some wild insects may fly in, so you need to close the windows. There is a private hot spring on the first floor, but the space is relatively small, and you may need to wait in line if there are many people.

Environment: The hotel should be converted from a private villa. The location is relatively remote in Kawaguchiko, and you need to take a taxi back and forth, but the environment is quiet. Facilities: Since it is an old villa, the hardware facilities are relatively old, but it was considered top-notch in the 1980s and 1990s. The sound insulation is relatively poor, but fortunately the room is large enough and the room I booked is equipped with two indoor and outdoor hot spring pools. The outdoor private hot spring pool is available 24 hours a day, and it is worthy of natural hot spring water, which is very refreshing. Here, it may be emphasized to Chinese tourists who cannot rent a car that the pick-up and drop-off time of this hotel is fixed, so free tourists are unlikely to enjoy round-trip pick-up and drop-off, so there will be taxi costs. It costs at least 200 yuan to take a taxi to and from Kawaguchiko. Overall, for tourists who want to soak in hot springs, this hotel is very good in terms of price-performance ratio.

The hotel is very cozy and you can see Mount Fuji within a few steps. The room is also nice, but the transportation is not very convenient. It takes more than an hour to walk to Lake Kawaguchi.

The room was clean and tidy, with a warm style. The lady boss was very enthusiastic to communicate with me using translation software during check-in. If you can speak Japanese, you can call the store to pick you up at Kawaguchiko Station. I had to go to the marathon the next morning and asked the boss to drive me to Kawaguchiko Station. Everyone was very nice!

I went on vacation with my friends. Although the boss didn't speak English, he was really nice. The hotel's hot springs were very good and I liked the surrounding environment. It's worth recommending if you like quietness.
