Fujikawaguchiko hotellia

Plussat: The PUBLIC onsen with the Mont Fuji view is nice! The Japanese room is comfortable and beautiful!

Miinukset: The welcome (in front of my family) has been bad, especially regarding the cost: - No smile and O flexibility - Unable to explain what you could visit around except shopping places - Many questions and interruption during the family dinner - Extra cost expensive to privatize the onsen on the roof. -Etc.

Plussat: Beautiful place, nicest view from room, warmest staff ever, best services, delicious meal, relaxing hot spring, too good to be true! Definitely worth giving 10/10. Really hope to stay there again!

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Everything! It was an unbelievable experience!

Miinukset: Nothing at all!

Plussat: Excellent service from front desk and crew from other services. They were meticulous and paid attention to details, as expected from a premium hotel. The most spectacular view of Mount Fuji one can get from room and outdoor onsen. We woke up to the sight of Mount Fuji.

Miinukset: It was a little overpriced over the period I was there. At this price, I have paid for rooms with private onsen in other parts of Japan. But I understand it's mostly the same for this area with the scenery.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel with view of Mt Fuji from our room. However, view was not that great because Fuji was mostly hiding behind clouds that day so we didn't get to experience the view we paid for. Good size bathroom with nice shower. Hotel offers free shuttle to/from kawaguchiko station which was nice. You can walk from the hotel down to the lake where you can get nice photos with mt fuji (we did this the next morning when there were less clouds). Bus stop for kawaguchiko red line is right outside hotel. Public spa was lovely where you can also see a view of Mt Fuji when able. Lounge area is lovely with a free tea station.

Miinukset: Dinner was expensive so we brought our own dinner+breakfast with us. We were told we couldn't reserve private spa bath until arrival at hotel so we were unable to book it in daylight hours which we wanted. Hours for the spa are not good (only from 4pm-11pm) and no times available earlier in the day and price is expensive. Spa was still a nice experience.

Plussat: All hotel reception staff are super professional and nice. Their hospitality and warmness welcom is the best we ever never had in Japan. They entertained every questions we had. That was so helpful during my Fujisan marathon with families.

Plussat: The food was splendid. Fresh material and great taste. We enjoyed it a lot. The staff was nice greeting us and providing us information.

Plussat: Service was impeccable. The dinner and breakfast were well thought out and delicious. Also loved the little touches- the shuttle service, the green tea and the sweets when we checked into our room... Was well looked after for sure.

Miinukset: Heater was a bit loud but could be turned off easily and bed sheets were warm enough without the heater

Plussat: Staff are extremely professional and friendly. Shuttle came to pick us up at the Station promptly. Room was clean and neat. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Onsen has Mt Fuji view.

Miinukset: Walls between rooms are a little bit thin.

Plussat: I have book this hotel before I traveled for a month when I have some questions and mailed to the hotel , they were really care and paid attention on every question. The staffs are very nice and good English speaker. The hotel have a great hospitality staff. Japanese cuisine is excellent. A room with Mt. Fuji is very nice even on the day that I stayed Mt. Fuji is very shy. But it is a reason for me to visit Kawaguchiko again. An onsen on the top of hotel with an amazing view of Kawaguchiko lake with Mt. fuji is a thing that you have to act like Japanese to take a bath in public bathing. The hotel located infront of bus stop no. 11. I really recommend this hotel for whom looking for a nice and peaceful hotel with a good staff.

Miinukset: A pillow is a bit flat.

Plussat: good location, very friendly and helpful hotel staff

Miinukset: a bit of expensive

Plussat: Very friendly staff, nice meals and good view

Plussat: The staff were wonderful - incredibly hospitable and warm and dinner was exceptional.

Miinukset: We couldn’t help but feel like we paid too much for a hotel that seems like it hasn’t been updated in decades. Everything was very clean and well maintained but something about the aged plastic and pastel textured walls has a slightly depressing / cheap feeling you don’t expect for the price

Plussat: Great traditional food served in dining room with tatami mat floor Spacious traditional style room overlooking lake Convenient parking and welcoming staff

Miinukset: Nothing really

Plussat: Good service

Plussat: Close to the sightseeing spot, helpful staff & delicious breakfast.

Plussat: The location is excellent, just a minute from the lakeside where you can see clearly Mt Muji. It is also minutes away from the maple corridor. The owner is a fantastic host, providing amazing personal service. He brought us to a hidden gem to view Mt Fuji at sunrise. While the room is small, it is adequate and very clean and comfortable.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: We arrived at Weekend Shuffle in the evening but were glad to spot this place easily as the house exterior was well lit & exude a cosy ambience. The host, Teppei san welcome us in & he spoke fluent english. He recommended us a few good restaurants nearby for dinner & we were glad to try one of it! There's a hot bath in the house & we could use it privately. The rooms were simple but spacious & offer a view of Mt Fuji too! The living room area also allows guests to have free flow hot tea.

Miinukset: There was a fair bit of waiting time for the breakfast as Teppei san & staff busily prepared the individual sets. However, the tasty breakfast does made up for it. If guests wish to depart earlier, not sure if breakfast time can be earlier thou.

Plussat: It was awesome to stay here for a night. Excellent host and room. I will absolutely stay here again!

Plussat: Great location, feel like home

Plussat: Good location and good view

Plussat: This is our second time here. We still feel welcome and happy to be here. The owner is as nice as always and he is more than happy to help out. The place is perfect to stay. The breakfast is good, you will be full until lunch!

Plussat: Brand new room

Miinukset: The view is a bit block by other buildings but overall is very satisfied

Plussat: Good location, wonderful view of Mt. Fuji and very clean and comfortable.

Miinukset: Have to pass the key to the office while you are out of the villa. Reason: they worry we will lost the key.

Plussat: The best place perfect 10 for stay at Kawakuchiko

Miinukset: You need a car to stay here

Plussat: Clean , Nice View Good staff

Miinukset: Far from city

Plussat: Location, new, private

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Everything about this place is really great!

Miinukset: there are some noise from upper stairs

Plussat: The location is far from Kawaguchiko station but for me, if you want to see Fuji right in front of you, this place has the best location. Staffs are great and so helpful. I would recommend this place for everyone especially family. Food is delicious. This is one of best place that I've been stayed. Thanks to all staffs and if I have a chance to visit Kawaguchiko again , I will definitely come back to stay here !

Miinukset: nothing. I love everything.

Plussat: Very clean, good location.

Plussat: The location is excellent, just a few minutes from the station on foot. They have bicycle rental that I took advantage of. The room was small but clean, and it's a tatami room with futon, which I really love. Staff were friendly.

Miinukset: I spoke with 3 members of staff, only one spoke any English. Considering this guesthouse has a lot of foreign guests I'd have thought they'd have more. The room had small windows but no curtains, so it got far too bright far too early in the morning. Bring a sleeping mask.

Plussat: Great location with 3 mins walk from the station Shared bathroom and toilet are very clean, new and well equipped. Comfortable room with tatami Can even see Mt fuji from the room window

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Very convenient location, staff are helpful and nice.

Miinukset: I hope there could be shower room(s) on 2nd floor. It could be noisy if people live in your next room are noisy......

Plussat: Very clean and comfortable but basic room. Good location close to the station.

Plussat: Perinteinen japanilainen onsen hotelli. Erinomainen palvelu, siistit huoneet, todella hyvä ruoka ja ystävällinen henkilökunta. Hienot näkymät järvelle ja Fuji-vuorelle. Suosittelen ottamaan puolihoidon tai ainakin kokeilemaan huoneessa nautittavaa illallista.

Plussat: Everything. Private room was amazing as was dinner and breakfast. Onsen was lovely and overlooked the lake it was beautiful. The facilities are good too with spa rooms and other onsens available along with karaoke and an arcade was great. Rooftop foot spa with Mr Fuji view was unreal.

Miinukset: The TV didn't have cast feature or any ability to get online, at least for ours. It was quite pricey and not being able to check-in until 3 and having to checkout at 10 was a shame for the price, not even 24 hours in the place. Can do late checkout til 11 for 2200 yen.

Plussat: We were late at our expected check in time because of the rains but the staff were kind enough to keep in touch and they even let us have the kaiseki dinner even though we were late. The hotel itself was beautiful! And the view at our room, wow!!! I didnt expect mt. fuji to be that close! Spectacular view! And we were also lucky to have perfect weather so we saw fuji clearly with a cloudless sky. We had a private onsen in our room too. It was lovely to soak in and relax while looking at mt fuji. Thank you Konansou for the wonderful stay. Will definitely be back!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Warm hospitality and excellent service. Large and spacious rooms suitable for families. Fantastic kaiseki dinner served with local and seasonal ingredients. Plenty of variety for buffet breakfast. Stunning view of Mt Fuji at rooftop.

Miinukset: Limited choices of bath in onsen. There was a flight of steps between the lift landing and the corridor to the rooms. A bit of challenge with luggage and kids in tow.

Plussat: Cleanliness, location, surrounding areas, travelling to, around, and from.

Plussat: Great location and huge room. Location especially great as close to everything. Great room service. Our room had an awesome lake view and a stone bath Onsens are just ok but have mount fuji view which is great.

Miinukset: Breakfast was average. For the price everything met expectations but no more. Onsens are closed at non peak hours and not 24hrs

Plussat: Everything, amazing service amazing location amazing facilities - being able to see mt fuji from the outdoor onsen alone was worth it

Plussat: All the staffs are very friendly and helpful. When I forgot my ring and called them to search for it, they really help find my ring and bring down to the reception ready for me to pickup.

Miinukset: The choice of breakfast kinda limit even though we choose morning box for the 1st morning and grill breakfast for 2nd morning. The only difference between the two is just location and a beacon instead of sausage.

Plussat: View and interior design architecture

Miinukset: Service etc No car after 7.00 pm can’t go out

Plussat: The room is so beautiful and comfort. You dont want to leave the room once you are in. Hotel's arrangement of inroom breakfast and dinner are superb. The staff is so nice, polite, friendly and helpful in everything. I took a taxi from Kawaguchigo station (cost around 3,000 Yen) to the hotel. The taxi driver will asked whether you have the booking and they will inform the hotel of our arrival for easy & convenience. After checked in, hotel will provide us a survival backpack that equipped with things that you may need for trekking. My advise is to check-in early around 2pm, then do for the free activities at the Cloud Terrace (cake decoration & champaign, log-cutting) for an hour before getting in the room and enjoy the rest of the time in room. In room services (I had Shabu Shabu dinner and breakfast in a box in-room) are superb. I am facsinated with the arrangement that so thoughtful in every little details. I also had canoeing in the morning, it was fun with the stunning lake view in front of Mt. Fuji - highly recommended.

Miinukset: Everything was great. If recommend, I feel that under this room rate, the minibar should be included as a courtesy - not that I want to have everything from the minibar, it is the top-up value that would exceed customers total experiences.

Plussat: The uniqueness of the hotel - has different activities to keep guests occupied

Miinukset: Some views were covered by other buildings walls. But not a big deal

Plussat: We were blown away by the amazing view of Mount Fuji from our bedroom window. This alone deserves a five star rating. We loved eating on the balcony - nice and snug despite morning temperatures only slightly above freezing. We also liked the way that the hotel had minimal impact on the surrounding nature.

Miinukset: After having stayed at Hoshinoya Tokyo, the facilities and staff at Fuji didn’t really match those at Tokyo. The food was also not as good, apart from the breakfast which was great. The glamping curry for two people was really only enough for one.

Plussat: everything was amazing! definately recommend!

Plussat: Gorgeous location with picture postcard outside the window.

Miinukset: Activities need to be booked by 6pm for the following day. Contact the resort if you are arriving late to book.

Plussat: You can see the Mt. Fuji from your room. The stuff can speak English. You can cook there and they offer coffee or tea in the morning . The room is very clean .

Miinukset: The location is a little far from the train station and the bus to the hostel is only 2 times a day (blue line)

Plussat: The room so big and comfortable

Miinukset: Location a bit far from kawaguchiko station

Plussat: The location is amazing to see Mt fuji .The staff are friendly and helpful, Saki is a sweet girl and do her best to assist me. Bed is clean and comfy.

Plussat: The hostel is perfect. The kitchen is massive, completely equipped, the fresh coffee and jam for bfast is a nice touch, the lounge/living space is super cozy, the view (on good days) is amazing. The beds are super comfy, everything is clean. The staff is lovely, very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend!!

Miinukset: A bit far from the lake (40mimutes walk)

Plussat: Very homey feels Japanese style rooms near Lake Kawaguchi there’s a view of Mt. Fuji on the roof top. You can rent a bike and stroll around Kawaguchiko

Miinukset: You need to set-up your own futton bed but I understand that it’s not a ryokan that there’s someone that will prepare the bed for you.

Plussat: The excellent view of Mt Fuji.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: A very beautiful resort onsen. We had an onsen suite which meant we had our own private onsen. It was wonderful to use as the nights were chilly. Loved it! The staff was excellent and spoke great English, which was quite helpful since our Japanese is very basic! We would stay here again!

Plussat: Staff was very polite and really cared about us. Even though it is an accomodation receiving guests, you really feel like they look after you. Breakfast was delightful. An amazing experience

Plussat: It is a mix between Ryokan and Hotel in a good way. For Example, my room have private bathroom and separate toilet (despite when we booked it said otherwise) in which typical Ryokan does not have. The breakfast is excellent.

Plussat: Private onsen in room was great and relaxing.

Miinukset: Our room was at ground floor so there was no other view which was very regretful for us.

Plussat: - Very good staffs and services - Dinner course is wonderful - One of the best resort

Plussat: The room was beautiful, comfortable and practical. Natural hot spring was wonderful to spend a lot of time in. The staff were extremely attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was INCREDIBLE.

Miinukset: Nothing, it was perfect.

Plussat: The room, private onsen n the staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff were friendly yet professional, and they gave me lots of positive encouragement for my marathon (the reason we came to Kawaguchiko). The room was a wonderful mix of old style japanese but with foreign friendly/modern additions making it a very comfortable and relaxing stay. The hotel is easy walking distance from the station but they also offer a shuttle bus, which is very helpful.

Miinukset: It was all lovely!

Plussat: Staffs very friendly and politely. Dinner and breakfast is good. Nice view, Fuji and lake.

Plussat: Stunning view of Fujisan over Kawaguchiko lake from a very clean, comfy, and traditional tatami-style room. Also, the view of morning Fujisan from the 7th-floor onsen is spectacular and inspired, I can stay in a warm onsen for a long time.

Plussat: Property is old but still comfortable. Staffs are very helpful and friendly

Plussat: Your staff are very excellent.

Plussat: The view of Mt Fuji from the hotel is fantastic. The food is amazing and delicious and the onsen is really nice.

Plussat: Good breakfast and dinner. The view of the lake and Mt Fuji is spectacular. Very helpful staffs and free shuttle bus

Miinukset: Good food, excellent spread of Japanese food during dinner. Very polite and helpful staffs. Nice onsen

Plussat: Nice atmosphere, especially with bar.

Miinukset: The heater needs to be improve especially when the weather is -3 degree. Very cold in the room.

Plussat: The staff, the restaurant, pthe location.

Miinukset: The place ia made up of wood. So it is easily to produce noise.

Plussat: It’s cosy,?very stylish and clean. Absolutely walking distance from the station.

Miinukset: Breakfast is too simple - I wish there were at leas some eggs.

Plussat: Great staff, English speak as well. Nice lounge (common room on the 1F) where they host a bar during the evenings, calm and relaxing. Great location for moving around to the Kawaguchiko lake, to see the parks around and a superb view of the Mt Fuji.

Miinukset: The dormitory can feel cold during the evenings, and the access to the beds can be a bit narrow. A bit expensive.

Plussat: Value of money! Free parking lot in hostel. The cafe/lounge is nice!

Plussat: Staff is really friendly beautiful Japnese style building Clean shower room with hot water

Miinukset: All buildings is wood design, so you can easily hear footsteps or any sound made by others. However, it's a beautiful Japanese style that I really like. You just need to be very quiet, might not be appropriate to bring kids.

Plussat: The interior design was lit! So far, Kagelow was my favourite hostel i’ve been stay in Japan.

Miinukset: Nothing but unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to see Fuji-san through our room!;(

Plussat: Great,pleasant stay They offer to drive you to any restaurant and pick you up. Free of charge Free rental bikes

Miinukset: Staff speaks almost no English A bit far off (can be a plus,very quiet) Breakfast was adventurous

Plussat: Everything was great. It felt like we were staying at someone’s home for a few days! The family were lovely and super attentive, who all went above and beyond to ensure we got the most out of our stay, and tailored our breakfast to suit our dietary requirements, making us feel like we were at a 5 star hotel at times. Thank you all very much for everything!

Plussat: My husband, friends and I all looked to our overnight onsen experience as a highlight of our trip. Some of the points that made our visit so wonderful were: -Wonderful onsen experience -Helpful owners that went out of their way to make your stay memorable -Shuttle to the train station -Delicious homemade breakfast -Mix of Japanese and European style

Miinukset: Not really something I disliked, but be prepared for the owners not speaking much English. A few of my friends had some limited use of Japanese, which made things much smoother than they would have been otherwise.

Plussat: I came for the Fuji 5 Lakes Ultra. As there is no hotel plan available for overseas runners, I have to find a hotel closest to the start line so that I can walk to the start in the early morning. To my surprise, the lodge owner offered a ride to me which helped me greatly. Much appreciated.

Miinukset: I can't think of any for the moment.

Plussat: Quiet setting, good breakfast, very friendly hosts, free use of city bicycles, laundrymat close by. Nice outdoor hot tub/Jacuzzi

Miinukset: The location is slightly out of town, but the hosts offer to drive you into town or local restaurants and pick you up so it wasn't a problem. This wasn't really a negative but just to make you aware that it is not in the center of town.

Plussat: This is a lovely place to stay. A characterful property, warm and cosy, in an idyllic setting. With limited English, the owner is helpful and courteous; facilities are acceptable, including a private Onsen. The rooms are of a very good size, clean and with all the necessities.

Miinukset: I made the mistake of forgetting my International Driving License and so couldn't rent a car - Don't make the same mistake, your own transport is an absolute must at this property!!!! The free pick-up and drop-off to/from the station is at very restricted times (to suit the owner). Communication with the hotel is quite limited but that could be due to the language barrier. Does not have a proper shower, just a handheld shower hose

Plussat: The staff were delightful - very friendly and helpful. They gave us a lift into the town, booked us a restaurant for dinner, and took us to the mid-winter fireworks display (we didn't know there was one).

Plussat: Staff were incredibly accommodating, picking us up from the station, driving us to Fuji Q and back and lending us torches. Very friendly and lovely even though they claimed to have poor English. Room was decent size, comfy and clean.

Miinukset: Our room was set up with two single beds, but may have just been an error with the booking I made. Although my husband and I didn't mind walking through the forest to get to some restaurants for dinner, it may bother some people.

Plussat: Fancy breakfast with a thoughtful touch. And there’s a onsen room where we can soak a tired body with a hot spring. The interior and exterior design brought a european ambience which is very unique and full of character.

Miinukset: The staff cannot speak english. It’s bit hard to communicate but they had a pocket translator. The bed is hard and the pillow is minimalist. The location is in the woods. It’s not walking distance to the nearest shop or restaurant. But they are willing to pick up and drop off every day.

Plussat: The food is delicious, the room is spacious. Some staffs were helpful and pleasant. You can see Mount Fuji and the lake.

Miinukset: Dusty and not very clean(windows facing the lake view is a bit blurry due to the unclean windows). Location very isolated without much amenities in the vicinity. Some of the room might have a musky smell. At 12 midnight the pipes rattling probably from the draining of the water is really loud making it hard to sleep. Facilities are old rustic and maybe out of date.

Plussat: The service was excellent

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: view and hot spring

Miinukset: a spa at every room would be nice

Plussat: Staff was great even with no English communication. They tried everything to make you feel comfortable. The dinner is just fantastic!

Miinukset: The staff is nearly to nice, they insist on carrying everything for you, even when you say it will be really heavy.

Plussat: The onsen were amazing. The Japanese style meals are a must. Not cheap, but still a good value for what you get.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Walkable distance from the station. Although I had booked a dorm room, my bed was located at a place where I could slide the doors shut thereby creating a private room. I was the only guest. The staff - when visible - were polite, helpful and friendly. The breakfast however comprised of one slice of white bread, one tiny bun, tiny sachet of butter &jam (I thought it was mayo & ketchup), tea and coffee. When I heard from people staying at other places in Kawaguchiko that they had an elaborate breakfast, I was disappointed. There was no one around to even ask. Everything else was good.

Miinukset: Breakfast

Plussat: Had to check in after stated check in time, the hosts were kind to make arrangements to receive us later than usual. There was a private bath available to all, our room was spacious. They let us try making a futon bed for the first night, but they helped us make the beds the subsequent nights (We were very bad at it! Haha!) They even put the pillows back in the positions we slept in after making the bed! (so sweet~) They also changed towels and sheets everyday. They have a traditional ryokan setup with kitchen, living, dining and shower areas so it is a good experience for non-Japanese. On our last day, they gave us sweets too!

Miinukset: A little too cold..

Plussat: Very clean and shower was hot and strong . Location wise is a few minutes walk from the train station . There was a cultural room where you could try on some Japanese costumes for pics. Hot drinks available 24/7.

Miinukset: Female dorm was next to the road so was a bit noisy and cold . As it’s an old house , you would also hear the floor creaking whenever anyone upstairs walks around. Bfast was just bread with some margarine and jam but you can cook ur own if u wish.

Plussat: Very near the station. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Plussat: Very friendly service! The room is big and comfortable. Very near to Kawaguchiko Station.

Plussat: Amazing authentic experiences in the experiences room that the staff will show you how to do which include dressing up in traditional clothes and writing traditional Japanese characters, including spelling your name! Amazing. The house also gives the exact experience you'd be staying there for. Very nice. During super typhoon higibis they closed the storm shutters and everything was fine. The staff were super friendly and helped with anything we needed and were very excited to show us how to do the dress up and Japanese writing. Loved it. I for sure recommend this experience. Amazing view of mt Fuji from the corner room too.

Miinukset: The traditional pad beds are not comfortable unless you weigh little. 120-150lbs + you will require two bottom mats to be comfortable, which you can try requesting from the guest house in advance. It's basic science, if you weigh more.. then you require further padding. It's a very good traditional bed, just be aware. :) I had become sick and laid on my slept for 36 hours.. a few hours and your hips will start to hurt if you don't have the right padding. Needless to say my hips and neck were in agony. It's not the fault of the guest house, I am just 6'2" and weigh 180lbs, not like the Japanese.. haha

Plussat: Near to kawaguchiko station and short walking distances to the lake. My room had a great view of My Fuji.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The heart shaped spa on the balcony is amazing. Included dinner was fantastic, we loved the French menu. Great views of Fuji. Free ramen at 10:30pm.

Miinukset: No food options available at lunch.

Plussat: Not value able price at all

Miinukset: Some part of bed room Too small

Plussat: Awesome food, onsen, view

Plussat: Private & public onsen together with an in room bathtub overlooking Mt Fuji... Staff was all very kind & nice...

Miinukset: There’s no choices on the dinner menu, would prefer to have vegetarian, halal or kosher menu at least... Was also wondering what the kids would be eating as they had only bread n whatever their parents gave them...

Plussat: A great Mt. Fuji view from the room, reception and desk.

Plussat: Private bath, spacious rooms

Miinukset: The meals are not specially good
