Hot Springs Hotels in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

Superb fuji view from the hotel itself with it’s good location. Staff are polite and nice, even with limited english we are able to communicate smoothly. They serve us well during the reception and dinner time. All the travel kits or toiletries are available with good quality, even the public onsen is available and well maintain. Good experience overall staying here.

We booked a room with a balcony and could see Mount Fuji right from there (picture 1). Both breakfast and dinner at the hotel were excellent. There are two hot springs. The 'Mantenboshi' on the first basement floor has both indoor and outdoor onsen. The 'Tenbodai' on the second floor is outdoor-only and offers panoramic views of Lake Yamanaka, which is especially delightful when it's not crowded. The hotel is located on a hill, and since we drove, it was convenient to go down to explore the lake. If you don't have a car, you might want to consider your options carefully. Swan Lake Beach is just down the hill.

Arrived on a heavy snow and my shoe were all wet. Were told that our room were not ready but the lady quickly offered me a Shoe Dryer to dry my shoe. The room were quite spacious. It has beautiful view of Mt Fuji. The onsen have the same beautiful view of Mt Fuji. 20 mins walk to the Kawaguchi station. But within 5 mins walk around the hotel, there are Lawson, restaurants and also a huge supermarket. Recommended.

Very good reservation services, I had some enquiry to the hotels through email, and get a prompt replied! They guided me on how to book a bus to the hotel where the bus terminal is just in front of the hotel. Room was spacious , toilet very clean with a big bathtub. However we didn’t use as we headed to the free onset which is linked to the hotel too. Was lucky for able to get a mountain view room but Mount Fuji was too shy during my stay. And thank God it came out an hours before we board on the bus! Will come back next time!

Excellent

The hotel is quite close to the bus stop, about a 4-minute walk, but there are no convenience stores nearby. If you stay here, you'll need to book the hotel's breakfast or buy breakfast in advance. The facilities are a bit old, and it seems there are no disposable slippers, only geta (wooden clogs). However, the scenery is absolutely beautiful, with a direct view of Mount Fuji, so you can watch the sunrise right from your room in the morning. Overall, I'm quite satisfied.

This room offers an absolutely stunning, unbeatable view of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko. You can literally lie in bed and watch the sunrise over Fuji, or enjoy a Japanese meal while taking in the scenery. It's so easy to snap amazing photos of Fuji's reflection! But all of this depends on actually being able to see Mount Fuji. After two nights, on the very last morning before checkout, during the breakfast dessert course, Mount Fuji finally emerged from behind the clouds – and the entire restaurant erupted in cheers at that moment! The staff were all very friendly. There were Chinese-speaking employees which made communication easy, and the English skills of the other staff were excellent too. One short-haired lady was particularly warm and lovely. I'd love to come back again if I get the chance.

・I think it would be better if they were a little more welcoming and didn't get hung up on appearances. ・The hot water kettle has a Japanese setting, so a foreign tourist who was having trouble using it spoke to me in English and explained how to use it. ・The parking lot should be made a little easier to understand and use. ・I'm glad that my family liked the Japanese-style room, and my child said, ”I want to go to the shrine room again.”

The hotel's location is excellent, just a short walk to Lake Kawaguchiko. We chose a room with windows, and the hotel gave us a corner room, so the front window offered a perfect view of Lake Kawaguchiko, and the side window overlooked Mount Fuji. The hotel also has free hot spring baths, which was a nice bonus. We also booked breakfast and dinner, and they were quite good!

We booked this stay for the in-house public hot bath and the lakeside advantage. Check-in was smooth and fast with the staff providing a lot of information, events happening nearby and the different attractions. They spoke good English and was very helpful and informative. The room was disappointing though. It was old, no functional furnitures. The seat covers were very old and with stains. Tv was too small for the size of the room. No convenient outlet near, we used a outlet that was meant for a lamp. Bedding was comfortable though. It is based on traditional house style. The bath was wonderful, not crowded at all. Dont think its worth the price with its current fixtures and furnishing. Unless it was the room that faces the lake but for that they will charge extra.
