    I can't think of any criticism about this place!

    This whole experience was such a pleasant surprise. The rooms were clean and smelled good (like tatami), the bedding was comfortable, the checkin and checkout processes were easy, and the location was great, in a quiet area with a great view of fuji and a short walk to the lake.

    Everthing to us, is perfect.

    I love the traditional feel of their rooms. They are clean and spacious. The staff are amazing. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and at home. I will definetely go back when there’s a chance. As to the location it’s abt a taxi ride from the train station. Taxi cost is about 960 yen which is really cheap and convenient.

    Comfortable room and beds. Shower and spa is typically Japanese which is good experience for foreigners 👍. Room provided with kettle so one can enjoy a cup of hot tea in the room. The room comes with attached toilet (but no bath) is also a nice feature. Love it

    Bath is in a separate building - would be nice to have bathing option on the same floor at least. It was hard to locate staff when we wanted to rent bikes.

    Very clean, everything in good condition, basic amenities, great value, close to the lake (less than 10 min walk). Staff was very nice. Overall great stay for the price!

    It was like a 25-minute walk from Kawaguchiko Station but we expected that!

    very affordable for our group of three. The front desk staff was very responsive and polite, and gave us a great overview of the accommodation and the amenities available. We loved soaking in the small onsen in the adjacent building. Too bad it was super cloudy when we were there, otherwise we would have had a great view of Mt. Fuji from our window!

    食事は、わたしのように50代には多いですが、若者にはちょうど良いです。

    The staff here is very courteous and helpful, and the Japanese are wonderful. The view of Mt. Fuji from most of the rooms is excellent. The exterior of the building looks old, but the interior has been renewed, with spacious rooms, new tatami mats and toilets, and very comfortable bedding, especially the futons and pillows. The coziness is very comfortable, and it is a wonderful inn. The uniquely Japanese mixed bath is not large, but the shampoo and other amenities are of high quality, which is nice for women. Also, everything that others have said about the hair in the bath was improved, quickle paper was placed in the room and in the changing rooms, and the bath water was hot and full to overflowing. It was nice to be able to clean my own hair with quickle paper. I heard that you can rent bicycles to go to Kawaguchi Lake, so I would like to use them next time. I would definitely use this hotel again. Thank you very much.

    We were staying on the second floor and the steps were really steep, and polished very well, so a little slippery. As I have very bad knees, it was a struggle going up and down. Apart from this, I wish there could be an option to have a screen for a little privacy while having a shower. I am from a different culture and not comfortable with open-space shower rooms. Finally, we asked for directions to drive to the fifth station on Mt Fuji but something was really lost in translation as the staff sent us to the fifth railway station of Mt Fuji instead. So, we couldn't actually get to the mountain after all because it got too late.

    The staff was very friendly, polite and extremely helpful. We were delighted that they provided a bed for our pet and two feeding bowls, a fur picker, and sanitizer and poop bags. I think the fine print about the 4000 yen extra charge per pet should be highlighted before, not after the booking is made. It seemed a little steep for one night but the politeness and friendliness of the staff made it a worthwhile experience.

    one thing only is that we only have toilet inside the room which is great but we cant take bath since it is public and share with others ( it is very traditional style of Japanese bathroom)

    it is so clean and easy to find. the location is good and from my room i can see Mt.Fuji view which is great experience. they gave us a lot of goods that we can use as well. They also have bicycle for tent too 😁

    Nothing really.

    Superb value of money. We didn’t mind the location, it is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, yet near to the the main station by bicycle. We rented a bicycle which costed only 1,100 yen per pax for entire stay, best decision we’ve made as it saves time to walk/wait for the bus, and there’s free bicycle parking at Kawaguchiko station. The room is spacious for two medium size luggage. We didn’t mind the public bath at another building, we enjoyed the hot shower and relaxed in the warm bath. Drinking water is available at the same floor as our room. The tatami style room is cozy, air conditioner is working fine. I’ll recommend anyone who’s fit to cycle , to rent the bicycle during the stay. Scenic route to cycle from the ryokan to Yagizaki Park nearby, or even to the lake near Kukuna hotel. Very convenient to cycle to Kawaguchiko station. There’s some eateries near by accessible by cycling (We had dinner at a small izakaya name Red Well, and lunch at Yamaboushi which is another hidden gem! Ogino supermarket is also nearby) Overall this accommodation and the bicycle rental made my experience in Kawaguchiko a memorable one.

    The bath at the evening was a bit cold but we didnt know the hot bath was starting at 6pm. We took bath by 10pm n it was a little bit cold😜

    The stunning Mt Fuji view from room was super!! When we open the curtain in the morning, Mt Fuji is right in front of us!! Staff in front counter also very friendly. We enjoyed our stay and instantly extended one more nite.☺☺ Looking forward to our next stay.

    Quiet location with a great view of Mt Fuji! The futon was incredibly comfortable and I fell asleep in its warm embrace even as the neighbours were being noisy and talking loudly. The hot bath was a nice bonus (but you have to walk to a separate building for it (and to shower on general), probably uncomfortable when it is cold!).

    lots of foreigners seemed to freak out when they saw the shower/bath. it literally tells you. and you are in Japan. learn to adapt. everyone is just trying to wash off not look at people naked. get over it. can be a little outside the main area, but also the location is pinned on a map. look at things before you book. that’s your own fault not the hotels.

    great bath, clean. big rooms, great view of Mount Fuji!
