The bathroom is different building and onsen is too hot to relax.

Japanese style room is very nice and comfortable. I stay at 3rd floor is was a nice view if the weather is cleare.

The location is not too convenient for backpackers, there are bus stops around but the bus schedule is not very frequent and everything close early.

Manager and staff are very friendly and helpful. Great experience of traditional Japanese futons and public bath. Very spacious room - one bedroom and one living room - can see Mt. Fuji from the window in the room.

We had a great experience and good stay. The good thing is the place is very convenient and easy access. Also, near by Lake Kawaguchiko. Best place. The staff as well are very accommodating. I loved the experience there, very japanese culture experience. Affordable.

Damnnn good!!!!

It wasn’t the case at my previous stay, but this time the futons were kind of thin, so it was not really confortable to sleep.

I already stayed at this hotel one time, that’s why I chose it again. The personel is nice and helpful. They came to the station to take us to the hotel by car, which was appreciable for my parents and me with our luggages. They provide bike renting so we could enjoy the kawaguchi lake.

This place is an absolute shame to call I itself a ryokan. There’s no real service to speak of, just a basic check-in. The room, while offering a nice view, is extremely minimalistic—almost empty—with thin walls that let you hear every word from your neighbors. The lighting is old and barely working, making the already cold room feel even more unwelcoming. The onsen was the biggest disappointment—messy, moldy, and just as cold as the room. Nothing about the building resembles a traditional ryokan; it feels more like a cheap pension house with none of the charm or hospitality you’d expect. If you’re looking for an authentic Japanese inn experience, look elsewhere.

The view as good as promised.

So worth paying the extra for the view of Fuji. Waking up in the morning was so cool! Sleeping on the floor is a bit hard for some, I wasn’t overly comfortable however it was just a part of the experience !

Only came here to write about the bedding

Just great bedding, truly great bedding

Stayed in February 2025

We were a bit surprised that the shower is a traditional shared shower room without privacy. It was not a problem for us, but it might be nice for guests to know that shared bathroom also means there are no individual stalls.

Lovely Japanese-style room with great view of Mt. Fuji. Lovely staff.

The room was very comfortable and pretty. The staff was also kind and thoughtful. Waking up to the view of Mt. Fuji in a tatami bedroom in this hotel was a great experience that I would recommend to everyone.

Female “onsen”was not clean.

Nothing. It was all good.

Authentic Japanese accommodation. Futon beds. Toilet in the room and shared Onsen. Microwave, washer and dryer available to use. Staff were very nice. We had a great view of Mt Fuji from our room. Free parking.

The place requires a lot of maintenance. The room was big and could be comfortable, but the Japanese paper windows were ripped and stained with watermarks, the tatami had gaps full of dust, and the walls were badly painted. The futon and blanket provided were clean but thin. If it weren’t for the AC, we would have frozen. Although the toilet room looked like it was recently renovated, it was not clean, and the sink was the worst. The building we stayed in was cold, smelly, and the shoe rack was full of dust. Additionally, the public bath was located in a different building, so we had to go outside in pajamas and a coat to get from our room to the bathroom—which was also not as clean as it should have been.

The only good thing was the nice guy at the reception desk who picked us up at the station by car. He was polite and helpful. Apart from that, I had a bad experience.

Share bathroom? Not the problem. Just go early! The staff were friendly and helpful. I had a request for a late check-in, they replied message immediately and waited for me! The breakfast was exceeded my expectation, I love the taste of Japanese easy-cooking meal. They also gave me the Fuji-san view as requested.

You need transportation to get from the station

Very traditional setup, attentive staff who picked us up at the Tran station and then back again with our luggage. Complete traditional Japanese breakfast

Stayed in October 2024

Not a deal breaker, but rather a suggestion, some towel hangers in the toilet in the room would be nice, for handtowels.

Very close to lake Kawaguchi, there's also a couple of shrines as a temple 11 minutes away. The breakfast they serve is delicious. I do recommend this to people who want to try sleeping on a futon and try a ryokan.

Stayed in September 2024

Rooms were not clean. Our floor had a huge section of mould. There was no fridge in our room, but there was one in our other family's room. The bathroom was not clean. Even though there was technically a view of Mount Fuji, it was just the tip, as there was a house blocking the way. There was no lift, so we had to go to the 3rd floor, struggling with our baby, the cot and the luggage up the stairs.

Large room, and it did have a view of Mount Fuji. There was parking available too.

The staff is great, but it works from 9 am

The room has only a toilet and a sink. The shower with a bathtub is in the next building. The futons were soft and comfortable. The air conditioner worked well. The view from the window is mesmerizing.

Stayed in September 2024

The room was dirty , the corridors were dirty , spiders everywhere and the windows blind were broken. It was a bit disappointing seeing the status of the room. The showers were in a separate building which wasn't easy considering it was raining. Overall it felt the place needs some improvement and cleaning to make you feel more comfortable

The location is convenient and near the lake. The room is traditional Japanese and they provide yukatas
