Hot Springs Hotels in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

This hotel is a bit old-fashioned but generally well-maintained. Many people take photos of a Japanese-style gate, but that's actually not part of the hotel; it belongs to a private residence next door. There were a lot of tour groups staying here. The dinner buffet was decent. Most of the front desk staff are from Southeast Asia and speak good English.

Stepping off the bus at Lake Yamanaka, I immediately spotted this hotel perched on the hilltop – the views of Mount Fuji are absolutely unbeatable! Plus, their hot spring is a semi-open-air style, so you can soak while enjoying that incredible Fuji scenery.

・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.”

I was incredibly lucky to see a very clear Mount Fuji. Pictures 2 and 3 were both taken from the room's balcony. As other guests have mentioned, the hotel breakfast is very, very, very mediocre. Not only is the selection limited, but there wasn't a single tasty dish. The coffee was absolutely awful; I haven't had coffee this bad in a long time. Furthermore, on the first night, I was woken up by the fire alarm around 1 AM. I threw on a jacket over my pajamas and rushed out. On the way down the stairs, I saw many other guests running downstairs with their suitcases. When we got downstairs, the hotel staff said there was no fire, and it was a false alarm. This significantly impacted my experience, and the hotel didn't offer any explanation the next day either.

The hotel offers a shuttle service, with pick-ups in the afternoon and drop-offs until around 10 PM. They also provide transportation to Oishi Park; just contact the front desk in advance. This time, I booked a Japanese family room, which was quite spacious with a separate wet and dry area. The beds were already made when I entered. From the room, I could see Mount Fuji in the distance – it was absolutely beautiful to wake up and do my makeup at the table while admiring the view. Both breakfast and dinner were set menus, which was nice. The hotel service was excellent, and there was a Chinese-speaking staff member at the front desk, so language was not an issue at all.

Excellent value for money! You can see Mount Fuji directly from the room just by opening the curtains. The restaurant is a bit mediocre; it tends to get chaotic because they cater to many tour groups. The nearest Japanese restaurant closes early, so you'll have to go near Kawaguchiko Station for dinner.

The hotel is clean and has a free hot spring onsen. The hotel is quite far from the station, but it’s worth it because Mount Fuji is right behind it—huge and absolutely beautiful 😭. It’s also close to a large Daiso. Very satisfying / I’m very satisfied.♥️♥️♥️

Highly recommended. Clean facilities with two public onsens and an amazing few of Mt. Fuji. If you do not end up with a mountain view room do not be too concerned- there is an observation deck up stairs. Private onsens are available for rental. Great service and a relaxing environment, if you find yourself in the area I suggest a 2 night stay at minimum- I had only booked one night and it felt insufficient to fully immerse oneself in the relaxing atmosphere.

it was a very pleasant stay, the hotel staff is very friendly. Room is also nice and clean, the Japanese Onsen is a bonus. room view is an amazing. Hotel provides early access to the park and discounted entry ticket.

We arrived quite late that day, and the staff at the front desk spoke Chinese. I forget why, but they specially upgraded our room and had already turned on the heating for us. The whole guesthouse was very spacious, and perhaps because it was a weekday, the public bath was practically empty – which was amazing! I absolutely love these old-fashioned Japanese tatami rooms. Although it's a bit remote and you can't see Mount Fuji, being comfortable is the most important thing!
