Family Lodge Hatagoya Fuji Tagonoura Reviews

Overview: A roadside hotel in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture that is open to guests with their pet dogs. As a lodging facility specialized in lodging, it offers a minimum of services, but offers cheap and comfortable bedrooms. It is located 6km from Fuji Interchange, 10km from Shin-Fuji Interchange, and 2km from Shin-Fuji Station on the Tokaido Shinkansen line. It is characterized by having a convenience store, a whitebait shop and a restaurant next door, and a shopping center within walking distance. It is also located in a strategic location in the eastern part of Shizuoka Prefecture, making it convenient for sightseeing in northern Izu, the southern foot of Mt. Fuji, and Shizuoka City. However, there are no amenities or facilities for dogs, so if you are staying with a pet dog, you will need to keep them under control. Family Lodge Hatagoya Fuji Takoura is a roadside hotel located in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The parent company, Family Lodge Hatagoya, is a chain of roadside hotels with over 70 stores nationwide, and is a mini-hotel that offers only overnight stays and is located in places that are easily accessible by car, such as tourist spots, interchanges, and main roads. The bedrooms are clean and have all the necessary functions, making it a suitable facility for those who think that a good night's sleep is enough. It is inexpensive and you can stay with your dog, so it is an excellent base for sightseeing in eastern Shizuoka Prefecture with your dog. By the way, the "Tagonoura" in Fuji Tagonoura is the same as the "Tagonoura" that appears in the well-known tanka poems by Yamabe no Akahito: "When I step out of Tagonoura, snow is falling on the high peaks of Fuji, pure white (Manyoshu)" and "When I step out of Tagonoura, snow is falling on the high peaks of Fuji, white and mysterious (Shin Kokinshu)." In fact, Tagonoura Port is right next to the store, and a monument to Yamabe no Akahito's Man'yo poem has been erected in "Fujinokuni Tagonoura Minato Park," which is right next to the inn. However, there is a theory that "Tagonoura" in the Nara period referred to the seaside area from Satta Pass in Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City to Tagonoura Port, so it is safe to say that the entire area from which you can see Mt. Fuji beautifully, including the current Tagonoura, to the eastern part of Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City, was "Tagonoura." The store is located 6km from Fuji Interchange, 10km from Shin-Fuji Interchange, and 2km from Shin-Fuji Station on the Tokaido Shinkansen Line. It is next to a Ministop and a Shirasu shop and restaurant called "Shirasu no Hachiman," and within walking distance of the shopping center "AEON Town Fuji Minami." The convenience store next door sells almost everything, but if you want to do your shopping cheaply or get something that is not sold at the convenience store, it is also a good idea to buy it at AEON Town. The price system is divided into (Economy) Regular, High, Top, and Peak depending on the date, and for two adults and two small dogs, the regular price is 10,000 yen from Sunday to Friday, the high price is 12,000 yen on Saturdays in winter, the top price is 15,000 yen on Saturdays from spring to autumn and during the summer holidays, and the peak price is 20,000 yen (all prices are excluding tax) during the Bon Festival, the New Year's holiday, and the consecutive holidays from spring to autumn. If you are staying on a regular or high-risk schedule, this is a very cost-effective facility for staying with your dog, and even the top rate seems like a good deal. Check-in is from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and check-out is at 11:00 a.m. From 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., several types of bread and orange juice are available for self-service in the lounge. At other times (until 11:00 p.m. and after 7:00 a.m.), coffee and tea are available for self-service. There are two large queen-size beds in the rooms, and an extra bed can be used for a fee. There is also a TV, refrigerator, air purifier, dehumidifier, air conditioner, underfloor heating, and Wi-Fi, so you can spend your stay comfortably. The Western-style toilet and bathroom are separate, and shampoo, conditioner, and body soap are provided. There are sets of hand towels and bath towels for each person, and if necessary, you can borrow additional ones for a fee. Other than that, pajamas, a hot water pot, disposable slippers, toothbrushes, razors, etc. are available for a fee. There are also vending machines and a coin laundry in the building. In the lounge next to the front desk, there are pamphlets and discount coupons for nearby tourist facilities, which are useful when considering where to visit. There are some rooms that allow dogs, although they are few in number. For details, please refer to "Pet Accommodation" on the Family Lodge Hatagoya official website. In summary, it is necessary to train your dog well, limit it to two dogs, and not leave it alone inside the room. In addition, if your dog marks inside and outside the room, cannot control its excretion, barks non-stop, or gets on the bed, you cannot use the hotel. Since "dogs are allowed" does not mean "dogs are welcomed," if appropriate measures are not taken, all stores and rooms in Japan will not allow pets, so you must be extremely careful. By the way, there are no pet-related items, so you must bring everything with you. Also, you cannot bring your dog to the front desk. You can only bring your dog to the rooms that are permitted. As for walking your dog, I think you can enjoy the walk to and from the already mentioned "Fujinokuni Tagonoura Minato Park," which is about a 15-minute walk away. As for food, I recommend eating whitebait freshly caught in Suruga Bay first. At the Tagonoura Port Fisheries Association Restaurant, located 1km from the inn, you can bring your dog indoors and enjoy a delicious whitebait bowl, especially raw whitebait bowls if they have whitebait. In addition to whitebait, they also sell fresh sashimi caught in Suruga Bay, so please try that as well. You can check the restaurant's tweet to see if they have raw whitebait on the day, which is convenient. Another option is Fujinomiya Yakisoba, which is in Fujinomiya City, next to Fuji City. Fujinomiya Yakisoba, which features chewy, firm noodles and seasoning with meat scraps and shaved sardines, can be found in large quantities around Fujinomiya Station in the center of Fujinomiya City and Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine. If you are particular about bringing your dog along, you should visit Omiya Yokocho, located in front of the second torii gate of Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine. There are several restaurants in this alley that sell Fujinomiya Yakisoba, and they also have terrace seats, so when you purchase your food, it is a good idea to ask if you can bring your dog along. If you are in a hurry or have time constraints, you can also use the restaurants in Aeon Town Fuji Minami mentioned above or along National Route 1. Please consider the situation. Regarding sightseeing with dogs, there are no sightseeing spots nearby as the hotel is in an industrial and commercial area, but the following places are within a 30-60 minute drive. First of all, there are the following sites, which are components of the World Heritage site "Mount Fuji - a place of worship and a source of artistic inspiration". ・Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine ・Yamamiya**** ・Suyama**** ・Shiraito Falls ・Miho no Matsubara Matsubara. Shiraito Falls in particular is a great place to take a walk if you also visit the nearby Shiraito Nature Park. Miho no Matsubara Matsubara has a long pine forest that makes it easy to walk, so it is also a good place to take a walk. However, it is quite difficult to find a place where you can take a beautiful photo of the pine forest and Mount Fuji together, so please check before visiting. It is also a good idea to visit Kunozan Toshogu Shrine, the only national treasure building in Shizuoka Prefecture. If you are a strong runner, you can access the mountain from the sea side, but if not, you can use the Nihon-daira Ropeway.
