Hotels With Bars in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

A hidden gem of a hotel with spectacular views of Mount Fuji! I booked a random room just a week before Golden Week, and upon entering, I was immediately struck by how spacious and bright it was. The room itself was also very roomy and incredibly clean. Both of their hot springs offer direct, panoramic views of Mount Fuji! The large floor-to-ceiling windows in the breakfast restaurant started my day off beautifully. It happened to be Children's Day in Japan, and the hotel thoughtfully provided games and movies for the kids. I was very satisfied with this stay. I highly recommend staying two or three nights – it's truly rejuvenating.

The hostess is absolutely wonderful. If I ever come back to Mount Fuji, I'd choose this hotel specifically because of her. She helped me book a car to see the fireworks festival, translated for me, lent me a bicycle to ride around the lake, and even offered to drive me when it rained while I was on my way to Lake Yamanaka Hirano. She's the same age as my father and married into Japan a long time ago. The hot springs are great, and breakfast is delicious. Facilities: Very comprehensive Hygiene: Clean Environment: Excellent Service: Outstanding

Pros: Close to nature with beautiful scenery. They focus on the experience, and both breakfast and dinner are self-cooked. If you book in advance for a weekday, they can drop you off at the station. The staff are very polite. Cons: Transportation isn't very convenient. You have to take a taxi from Kawaguchiko Station, and taxis are hard to come by – you might wait around 40 minutes. The hotel only offers pickup service for guests with a Japanese mobile number. Check-out time at 10:00 AM is too early. Breakfast ingredients are delivered at 8 AM, so by the time you cook, eat, clean up, and wash the dishes, it's already check-out time. You also have to wash your own dishes after breakfast and dinner, but the tap water in the mountains in early spring is freezing cold. The Pao (yurt/tent) is quite damp and has a musty smell; even the curtains are moldy.

A short drive from Lake Yamanaka, we checked into here for the night—mainly because we wanted to explore the area and try the region’s famous Hōtō noodles. We chose a traditional Japanese futon room for the experience. That meant laying out our own beds—slightly clumsy, a bit of trial and error, and a lot of laughing when we realised there’s no “redo” once everything’s set. The weather had a chill to it, so the onsen became the highlight. Stepping into the hot water while the cold air lingered outside—it slowed everything down in a way you don’t realise you need. Nothing extravagant, nothing overly planned. Just the four of us, figuring things out as we went. Looking back, it wasn’t the hotel or even the lake—it was those small, unpolished moments that made the night feel complete.

The self check-in was very strange. There were many Japanese staff and a foreign staff members but they insisted that I my name and address manually. Then I had to pay the onsen tax, which is fair. The machine suggested either cash or credit card. I chose credit card and then the staff suddenly popped his head out to tell me to pay cash, which is extremely strange. It was very confusing. Either they set up their machine correctly, or they should stick to traditional check-in since they have a lot of staff. Still after I paid it took quite some time to get the key, they were ineffective. The room was OK, even though my booking was for 2 BEDS and 1 futon but only got 3 MATTRESSES on the tatami floor... I really enjoyed the bathtub with a view on the lake although there are only few of these bathrooms. The outside onsen looked nice but one of the baths was out of use, unfortunately.

Very good oil hotel, perfect equipment, clean and tidy rooms, daily necessities are all available, convenient location, courteous staff, thoughtful care, next time you book the choice.

The location of the hotel is relatively remote, but it is no problem if you travel by car. The design and decoration of the hotel are very fashionable, clean and tidy, the surrounding environment is quiet, and you can see deer, kittens, etc. The hotel has two private hot springs for bathing. You can use it by making an appointment with the staff. The basic ladies' toiletries are all available, and the hair dryer is from Dyson✨ The hotel staff were very helpful and patient. I had a problem with my car when I was traveling by car. I needed to call the local police and get a report for insurance compensation. Thanks to the staff who always helped me communicate in Japanese, it made things a lot easier and saved me a lot of worry. 👍All the staff are very helpful. Although I only stayed for one night, I felt very comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel. Although Lake Kawaguchi is more popular, Lake Yamanaka is also good. It is close to Shiratorihama and you can have close contact with many swans😆

We really enjoyed our stay with our 5 year old It was a treat to stay in a traditional hotel with Yukata and sleeping on Tatami beds. The food was absolutely amazing and very delicately prepared. Luckily, we had our own private open air bath, otherwise it was extremely difficult to book any reservations for the onsen and private baths. By the time we checked in, everything was pretty much fun Our kid loved the cute kid's amenities kit, feeding the carp and walking through the garden. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

An unexpectedly delightful stay! The hotel facilities were incredibly spacious. The room was huge, and our mountain-view room offered views of Mount Fuji. The hotel features a hot spring bath with multiple relaxation areas, offering not only ice water but also fruit vinegar. The lobby floor has a lounge that's open in the afternoon and evening, providing a variety of snacks (dried fruits, cheese, crisps, candies), soft drinks, juices, and various alcoholic beverages. You can stargaze on the rooftop, surrounded by a spectacular 180-degree starry sky. The breakfast area has two sections, offering a wide array of breakfast items and desserts. A thoughtful touch: the front desk even calls your room before breakfast ends to remind you to eat! 👍 Furthermore, the children's play area is excellent, spanning two half-levels with balls, board games, books, a board game section, a small toy truck area, and large climbing play structures. It's truly perfect for families with children. 😍😍 I recommend checking in a bit early. 😊

we loved this hotel the most as it had a mini garden we could enjoy, room was super clean and modern vibe. Interesting how their breakfast was delivered to our room in a wooden box. there was welcome drinks sparkling wine. Do note that you need to book their dinner (for mains) in advance (preferably 1 day in advance), latest till 3pm of the same day. We didn’t know and arrived at 4+ so we missed the timing, however we managed to still dine in and ordered their appetisers and snacks, which were also filling enough. the latest late check out we could get was till 11.30am. location is slightly inaccessible if you dont drive. we rented a car so it was still okay for us.
