Hotels near Ararayama Shrine, Fujiyoshida

It's near Mt Fuji station to access train & intercity bus, within walk range. I book twin room with mountain view, all good, very clean, tidy, comfortable, & quiet (very good to catch deep sleep after your busy day traveling). Bathroom, washtafel, kitchen are shared in very good condition & comes in complete amenities & tools! They provide free coffee, tea, homemade bread, block ice, & all seasoning for cooking. Very nice! *I forgot to capture bed & bathroom in empty condition, lol

I had a great stay at this hotel. The location is very convenient, just a short walk from the train station, which made traveling around really easy. One of the best parts was the stunning view of Mount Fuji — you can see it clearly right from the hotel, especially on a clear day. The staff were friendly and helpful, and they could communicate well in English, which made everything smooth and comfortable. Overall, it’s a perfect choice if you’re looking for a convenient place with an amazing Fuji view.

My stay here was truly memorable. The room was traditionally Japanese and very comfortable. The host was always kind, helpful, and quick to respond whenever I needed anything. Bicycles were freely available for guests, which made it easy and enjoyable to explore the area, I was able to cycle around the lake in just a few hours, and the views were absolutely stunning. If you’re feeling motivated, I highly recommend waking up before sunrise and biking about 20 minutes to the Chureito Pagoda. Watching the sun rise behind Mount Fuji from there is a breathtaking and unforgettable experience. This stay will remain one of the most touching and special memories of my time in Japan.

Received the instructions to check in days before our stay, and instructions are super clear. The house is very clean, and comes with everything we need - stove, washer and other basics. Ground floor is the living hall and bathroom, upstairs there’s one bedroom and outer area where are floor bed are placed. We went there with average temperature of 4 degrees so the floor were freezing cold and it took a while to activate the heat. Location wise pretty good, right opposite there’s a 7-11, and down the street 10-15 mins walk there’s the Hikawa Clock Shop, but we don’t see any restaurant nearby maybe because we were there during New Year closure

We stayed for a couple of nights. The hotel is very old and desperately needs a major renovation: the hallways are shabby and dirty, the carpet is stained all over, and the elevator is tiny—barely fitting two people. But the rooms themselves are perfectly fine: - Clean and tidy - Clean, white bedding - Sterilized mugs and toilet - Looks neat, even though the room itself is small. The outdoor hot springs are great, moderately hot, and convenient. There are only a few downsides: - No washing machines - A bit far from the train station (about a 15-minute walk) - The duvet didn't have a cover (it was tucked in with a sheet, which easily comes loose and generally isn't very hygienic) - The internet isn't the fastest or most stable - If you get noisy neighbors, it will be unpleasant, as the soundproofing is excellent. - They don't accept luggage if you send it via local transport companies. Overall, the hotel is good if you're staying for just a few days. If you plan to stay in the area for a week or more, I'd recommend looking for another place.

I had a great stay at this hotel. The room was very clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, which made it easy to relax after a long day. One of the best things about this place is its location—it’s just a short walk from the train station, making it extremely convenient for getting around the city. The staff were polite and helpful, and check-in was quick and smooth. Even though it’s close to the station, the room was quiet and peaceful at night. Overall, this hotel is a great choice if you’re looking for a clean, convenient, and hassle-free stay. I would definitely come back again.

The property is just within walking distance to fuji station so it’s convenient. If you are driving, eneos petrol station is just beside it too. Most important is you can wake up to glorious mount fuji every morning if you stay here! However the outdoor toilet is a bit inconvenient because on cold weather, im freezing when going to toilet at night.

I booked this hotel because the promotion made it seem luxurious, but the surroundings feel odd, almost like all the trees have been removed by purpose, littered with dry leaves and fallen branches. It feels dirty and poorly cared for. I was expecting a neatly landscaped area with grass and trees, but instead, the outside feels like a barren, lifeless space. That said, the inside of the room looks very good. The accommodation consists of two separate large caravan‑style rooms. They are not very spacious, but they are sufficient for a family of four. One of the rooms has slightly less living space because it includes a larger bathroom, with a full‑size bathtub. This is something you rarely find in Tokyo, where most bathtubs are quite small, so this was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, we struggled with the bathtub controls as it was written in Japanese, we couldn't use it after all. Also, the heating system are all labeled in Japanese, and there were no clear instructions in English. As a result, we didn’t figure out how to use the heating until the second night. We stayed for two nights in total. There is an outdoor spa area, which is interesting and enjoyable. We used it and found it quite good, although it is small. It works best for two people, three is a tight squeeze, and four would be uncomfortable. The sauna is decent and operates daily. Breakfast is served at set times rather than as a buffet, likely because the hotel only has 14 rooms. Guests must choose a time slot, such as 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30. We chose 8:30. Breakfast is a set menu rather than self‑service. Each morning includes a starter, a main dish, and some small item to finish, well enough for us. The first day was Japanese‑style, with a rice‑based dish. The second day was Western‑style, with a sandwich as the main course and fried eggs with pork belly. The food tasted good, but we would have appreciated more water. We did not ask for refills, as staff left the area after serving. Finding the hotel is a bit difficult. The entrance sign is blocked by a car park sign, making it very easy to miss. You need to drive very slowly, or you will pass it without realising it. We spent several minutes searching before realising this was the place. Be prepared to see a car park with two signs, where one directly blocks the hotel’s entrance sign.

The accommodation exceeded our expectations. Clean, airy and conveniently located to many places to visit. The hostess was super friendly, gave us instructions on how to get around cheaply and even gave us gifts!

The room is pretty standard for a guesthouse. The layout of the room I booked wasn't ideal, with the head of the bed facing the toilet. However, the bed faced a balcony with a large marble bathtub, which was quite fun to fill yourself for a soak. There was also a shower that sprayed like rain, and cherry blossoms and leaves would occasionally fall from the tree overhead, along with a few bugs – understandable, given its location at the foot of the mountain. Overall, it was decent. But the soundproofing was terrible; the snoring from both neighboring rooms created a symphony! What’s more, the clothes from the washing machine still smelled like poop. I ended up using the marble bathtub for washing and drying clothes, which was a novel experience, to say the least. It’s more of a guesthouse than a hotel. Be cautious about using the 600 yen laundry and drying service, because, well, it might smell like poop…
