We just passed two great nights in this lovely hotel in the heart of Mount Fuji.
I highly recommend coming here, specially if you love Vietnamese food like me haha.
The rooms are big with a good size balcony (unusual in Japan) the amenities are excellent, the bath is big and very functional and the staff is very nice
The location is perfect with just 14 minutes walking from the station and just 10 minutes away from a big shopping mall, supermarkets at just 4 minutes and obviously Mount Fuji just in front of you, everybody wants to wake up with Fuji-San and a coffee.
Also very family friendly from what I saw with multiple families with kids.
The environment is clean, and the service attitude is great. The owner is very kind; they upgraded me from a quad room to a single room. Plus, you can rent bicycles, which is super convenient.
Excellent location, just 2 min walk from kawaguchiko station. We stayed in a 6 tatami room with Mt. Fuji view right outside our window. Room is pretty clean, however we had minor issue with the AC unit blowing out dust for about half hour. The shared bathroom and shower were clean and they offer basic amenities like shampoo and body wash. Overall a good experience, pretty good value for the price.
The room is very old and it is a hotel run by an old lady. Entering it feels like traveling back to the Japanese dramas of the 80s and 90s! The room has a view of Mount Fuji! The rooms are actually as clean as those of an ordinary home, and the public baths use hot spring water. Normally there aren't that many people staying in the hotel. You can take showers at off-peak hours and still enjoy a large bathroom all to yourself. There are several toilets on both floors. There is no need to worry about fighting for the toilet. The hotel is less than 10 minutes' walk from Lake Kawaguchi. It can be said to be very friendly. It is recommended that those who want to experience an authentic Japanese-style hotel can try it. The hotel has free wifi and air conditioning. There is a private car shuttle to Kawaguchiko Station every morning at 8:30 and 9 o'clock. If you miss it, you can take a bus nearby and walk to Kawaguchiko Station, which takes about 20 minutes.
Even though it's a ryokan-style hotel, the private room was quite large and spacious. It had its own bathroom and sink inside the room. The bedding was a futon on the floor, and yukata robes were provided. The shared bathrooms, separated by gender, were outside the room. They were large enough for 3-4 people to shower at once and could be locked. There was also a large soaking tub in the bathroom. But the view of Mount Fuji? Absolutely unbeatable! Especially in the morning with the golden light, Fuji-san looked incredibly beautiful.
The food is delicious and the waiters are polite and friendly. Super quality!”
You can see Mount Fuji from the living room in the room which is amazing~
There are beautiful scenic spots nearby, including Hongyefu, Inverse Fuji, and Bobofu, all at once!
A really lovely traditional-style hotel! If you book a room facing the courtyard, you get an excellent view of Mount Fuji. The staff are very pleasant and polite, and they help with everything. A huge bonus was the shuttle service to and from the hotel from the station (just make sure to notify them in advance). Thanks for a wonderful stay!
Overall, I was quite satisfied. The room size, service, and facilities were all good.
The hotel offers bicycle rentals, which is a nice touch. The hotel bathrooms are also worth trying if you have the time.
During my visit, some shops were closed, making it a bit inconvenient to find places to eat nearby. However, the hotel provides breakfast and dinner, and there's also a 7-Eleven close by, which was a lifesaver.
It's has very cosy feel local Japanese Ryokan(BB) style and we love it. Not luxury,not to expensive but suitable if you looking for Ryokan in Fuji Mt. area. Included nice easy breakfast,not big for Americans but it's delicious.
The location is not recommend for walking to, if you drive a car it will be perfect (free parking)
Some may say it looks old, but to me I would say it looks vintage and classic you couldn't find in the city.
*Only 10mins drive to famous cafe”paper moon”
— Bikes available for rent.
— A 2-minute walk from the bus stop.
— There are two bus stops: one for Kawaguchiko and one for the Saiko sightseeing loop.
— It takes about 30 minutes by bus from Kawaguchiko Station to the accommodation. Be aware that the last bus leaves quite early.
— You can also ask a staff member to drive you.
— On the day we checked in, a group of deer appeared outside the accommodation at 7 PM.
— The downstairs bathroom is a good size and has a bathtub. However, the bathroom door itself can't be locked; only the outer washroom door can.
— No password needed for the Wi-Fi, but you have to reconnect every hour.
— The heater in the room emitted a strong smell of burnt fuel, which was unpleasant.
— There was an insect on the wall near the door in the room, on the floor.
— The road outside is poorly lit; it gets so dark you can barely see your hand in front of you. I recommend bringing a flashlight when going out.
— There's a coffee machine.
— It's very quiet in the vicinity.
— The downstairs toilet area seemed to have no heating, making it extremely cold to use at night.
— The staff can communicate in English and even gave me an apple.

AAn.yaThe hotel is run by an elderly gentlemen, so we couldn’t reach him by e-mail when we wanted to send there our luggage, so we had to send it directly to our next location. The hotel itself is in a rather old building, so it doubtfully will be up to the most comfort-loving travelers‘ taste, but it was clean and neat, and the view from the room was amazing 😍
On the down part, since the building was old, as soon as more lodgers arrived there came a stinking smell from the bathroom with was rather unpleasant.
Also I’d suggest bringing your own slippers, since the lodgers are required to take off their shoes right from the threshold as in the most traditional Japanese houses, so if you have issues with wearing slippers worn by anybody else before you, take your own.
The futon beds were very comfy, however the blanket was rather hot for the weather (we went in April).
All in all, you get all the most necessary things like toothbrushes, bathrobes, towels. For its price it’s very nice :)
And the location is 25 min walk from Kawaguchiko station, and the walk is very nice with view of Fuji-san from many streets.

EEmmanuel chan 8One of the characteristics of a traditional hot spring hotel is that the shower time is from 4 to 9 o'clock. If you don't pay attention, it will be awkward.
Among other things, the food is quite good and relatively average, but it is more difficult to communicate.
The hotel is relatively remote and there is no shuttle, but it is probably one of the hotels closest to Lake Kawaguchi. You can walk to Lake Kawaguchi in 3 minutes. The scenery is beautiful and you can see Mount Fuji directly.

He has special red slippers, they are so special
There is a convenience store across the road, how convenient is it?
If you have a car, there will be no problem. If you don’t have a car, there will be some inconvenience.
WWYLIN00The host was extremely friendly and gave a thorough introduction to every corner of the guesthouse. Breakfast was also provided, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The location is very convenient—it's only a 5-minute walk to the famous Lawson Mount Fuji photo spot. From my room, I could even see Mount Fuji directly. For the price, this place offers incredible value for money.
GGuest UserAn excellent experience! The environment is elegant and comfortable, and the guests are all high-quality. There's an open kitchen with great hygiene. Coffee is available daily from 8 AM to 10 AM, and other teas are self-service 24 hours a day. Guests can prepare their own meals here, and everyone is very considerate about washing and returning used utensils. The water pressure is strong, and there's plenty of hot water. The toilets are fully automated. You must change into slippers upon entering. The common areas are quiet, and people rarely speak loudly. The front desk lady, who is *********, speaks Mandarin and is very professional, friendly, and attentive. There are large and small supermarkets nearby, making it very convenient to buy food and other necessities. Bicycles are also available for rent.

GGuest UserThe hotel offers a beautiful lakeside view directly in front of Lake Shoji, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere throughout the stay. Although the property is quite old, it is well maintained and full of charming vintage Japanese character. The service was warm and attentive, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious.
The location is especially convenient for travelers driving around the Fuji area, with easy access and a comfortable overall experience. We also reserved a private onsen for bathing, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Please note that the room itself did not include a shower — only a toilet — but this matched the traditional Japanese-style ryokan experience.
Overall, this hotel is highly recommended for travelers seeking an authentic, nostalgic Japanese atmosphere with beautiful scenery and genuine hospitality.
GGuest UserFrom the room, you can see Mount Fuji. It is very fast to go to the shore of Hirano. If you want to see the morning sunshine in Jinshan, you can open the curtains to see the clarity of Mount Fuji today and then decide whether to go downstairs. There is a private bathroom in the room. The room is large and the hotel is not new overall. You have to carry your luggage upstairs without elevator. It takes7-8 minutes to drag your luggage from Hirano bus station to the hotel.
