Breezbay Lake Resort Kawaguchiko Reviews

Place is close to ropeway bus stop. however, it can be a challange to carry your luggage up the hill slope which is share with cars and visitors to the ropeway. smoking room doesnt smell smoky as they provide purifier.. but the hallway lead to the room are very smoky in smell. just has to bare with it. once enter, required to change show for their slippers, proceed to check in, there are foreign staffs that can speak some english to help with check in if you check in between 3 to 5pm, there are free flow of snacks (popcorns, meatbun, mugi cha) and alcohols ( lemon sour and asahi beer) once check in u can go for onsen to relax. not mandate to wear yukata. but feel free to do so for the immersion. the room is dated, like stuck in the 90s or early 2000s. toilet is seperate from bath.. frankly speaking its better to bath at the onsen if you dont mind ***** infront of strangers n stared by japanese guests to see if u make any mistake ( they want you to be clean in every nook and cany) as they are in the onsen has sauna but quite small. hover 82 degree c has old school water spray jet which u need to control manually on all 3 sides.. good luck to do it fast during cold days. basic amendities at the onsen area.. just hair dryer, fan and thats all bed n pillow quite soft... pillow are small but u can get more from reception. great view of the lake from hotel room and dining area. breakfast is ok. everyday similar menu.. buffet style breakfast.. fish, asa curry, breads, minced marinated sashimi don, corn soup and miso soups. free flow coffee, soft drinks and limited selection of fruits. dinner is ok, buffet style but 90 min.. need to info counter what is your prefered time slot. i recommend choose dinner... cuase it is quite a distance to the bus station for food.. and the queue are horrendous but the food are nice there tho, u can even admire mt fuji. heard the dinner theme is based on months or seasons.

Decent place, breakfast was so so, but decent enough. Good location and view upon waking up

Terrible terrible place. No jap hospitality, the place looks really dated and unclean The staff hardly looked Japanese and yet can’t speak English. There’s a reallllly steep unpaved slope / road that you have to use to get to the hotel. Come only if you are on a budget and not carrying any luggage. The view of the lake is awesome though, but it still does not make up for the hotel

We need to take Red (R) line bus from fujikawaguichiko station and stop in front of the hotel, but the catch is if you have luggages on tow, expect to drag the uphill short road to the hotel since it's situated just beside the Ropeway station. Although the front desk (non local) seems rather nice, but not not warmth either. I think there's many restrictions (No's), and he is trying to explained diligently.. well I guess the hotel rules and policy is the strange compared to many hotels I stayed in within Asia/world. although it gets compensated with some good view of lake kawaguichiko. The breakfast selection is not many, but it's get stranger to wear gloves to take foods each time, although some tends to forget while getting his/her second's take.. it isn't covid era, and certainly many ways to cope cleanliness handling SOP..

The hotel service was excellent I am worry about the smoking room but everything else is great

Not recommended for foreigners. They don’t speak any English. Difficult to communicate. Staff are not friendly at all. Rooms are so dirty. There are blood on the beds and one of the lights is broken also.

No shoes allow to walk inside the hotel.

Breakfast is good

Very close to Tianshang Park (currently quarantined) You can see cherry blossoms for dinner, hot pot with free lunch, all you can drink red wine, sake, soda, hot tea, all you can eat crab legs, sushi, salad, ice cream, etc. We stayed for five days and four nights, breakfast and dinner were all included! We had hot pot three nights and sashimi boat one night. The hot pot soup base was different on three days. It was really thoughtful! The waiters do their best to help! Understand English/Japanese! Every afternoon at three o'clock, there are steamed buns and iced tea in the lobby (There is a comic bookshelf in the lobby)  The second floor is where breakfast and dinner are served.  Tea is available 24 hours a day. There are also two massage chairs available for free for guests to use.  There are separate male and female rooms for bathing in hot springs! There is a parking lot at the entrance with stairs and slopes. The window looks towards Lake Kawaguchi. Really 10 minutes convenient!

The room is very dilapidated and the carpet has many stains There is no such dirty feeling in shared facilities. The hot spring is neither big nor small, and it has a sauna room, which is quite satisfactory. Breakfast is Japanese buffet breakfast

The hotel is right by Lake Kawaguchi, a 15-minute walk from the JR station. It is very convenient to walk all the way there if you are not pushing suitcases. However, if you are pushing heavy luggage, it is recommended to take a taxi at the entrance of the JR station, which costs 800 yen, and because the road to the hotel is There is a large slope at the entrance, so pushing suitcases is very tiring. There is a cable car next to the hotel for 900 yen to and from the top of the mountain, but if the weather is bad, it is not recommended to go up and waste money. The hot spring is small but very clean. There are convenience stores and local supermarkets not far away. The supermarket prices are cheaper but you have to walk a few more steps. The room is relatively large, and the breakfast is a buffet with good variety. There are bicycle rentals locally.

The service was not enthusiastic. There was a musty smell from the elevator to the corridor and the room. In addition, you cannot store your luggage after checkout. I don't recommend staying here.

The price-performance ratio is pretty good, but when it comes to marathon events, it’s a lot more expensive. The usual price is pretty good.

The buffet is very delicious, and the view of the lake near the hotel is very beautiful.
