Romantic Hotels in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

The hotel staff provided excellent service, even offering a hand-drawn map for reference. The location is incredibly convenient; whether you're coming from Gotemba Premium Outlets or taking a bus to Tokyo, you can board right at the hotel entrance. We were lucky enough to have a view of Mount Fuji from our room, which my friends absolutely loved for taking photos. The front desk staff spoke good English, so communication was seamless. The 150 JPY per person hot spring bath was an amazing value! On a weekday evening, it wasn't crowded at all, and it even had an outdoor bath. I imagine it would be absolutely beautiful if it were snowing.

The room was very spacious, with both a regular bed and a tatami mat available. The view was absolutely amazing, with Mount Fuji clearly visible! We could even enjoy a private onsen bath right in our room. However, this also made the room quite humid, leading to a noticeable musty or damp wood smell. It was essential to air out the room by opening the windows or running the AC daily. We were able to reserve a private dining room, which also offered views of Mount Fuji. One last thing, laundry service costs extra.

The 15 sqm room with two beds felt surprisingly spacious, thanks to the cleverly designed compact bathroom. Bringing a large suitcase might be a challenge, though. The room and the hotel overall were spotlessly clean, and the staff's hospitality was exceptional; they'd proactively greet you. Located right on the main road at the south end of Kawaguchiko Bridge, the hotel is a convenient ten-minute walk to Yagizaki Park by the lake if you turn left upon exiting. It's a great spot for an early morning stroll, where you might even catch sight of white swans foraging by the lake. A frequent shuttle bus service runs between the hotel and Kawaguchiko JR Station, making transportation very easy, and the driver's service was top-notch. Breakfast options include Japanese (Hall A) and Western (Hall B). Both are simple but feature fresh ingredients, and you're welcome to dine in both halls. This hotel offers excellent value for money. Highly recommended!

Honestly cleanliness wise, -1 for it being just a little dusty floor (but you have slippers) and you may see the wood furnitures has some scratches due to age but otherwise you can expect a clean space 😁 location is about 10 min walk to bus station, Lawson and theme park. Has shuttle bus service to Fujikyu Highland Bus station & vice versa, so you don't need to go through other transportation hassle with your luggage. Service is impeccable with all friendly smiles and attention whenever they see you at their main service centre in the property. Every villa has rooftop full Mt Fuji view but if you want window Fuji view from inside your villa that will see your luck as you may be blocked by other villas. Nevertheless would recommend staying here for any family or group of friends. Decent facility to stay in and not go anywhere in Kawaguchiko too. Picture of rooftop view and around villa walkway.

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.

Excellent hotel although old, but with the service and nice dinner and breakfast, it's definitely worth a try. It has 3 different types of onsen (indoor - i didn't try it), open air (facing 2 sides - 1 towards lake and the other 1 towards Mt Fuji, but do bear in mind they switch by gender the next day), and also 1 more onsen bath at my room (for my room type). So we enjoyed the onsen session. We even paid for the private onsen (facing Mt Fuji) but it's not as good as the open air public one, but still ok due to the privacy. Staffs are indeed very kind and friendly.

Our stay was fantastic! The hotel's shuttle bus made getting around super convenient, and the staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and had excellent service attitudes. The room was spotless, impeccably clean, and very comfortable. The biggest surprise was being able to see Mount Fuji directly from our room's balcony – the view was absolutely stunning and breathtaking. Breakfast offered a great variety too. The hotel's overall environment was very peaceful, making for a truly relaxing stay. We'd definitely consider coming back here again!

We spent our anniversary with my girlfriend in Kaneyamaen, and our experience was above and beyond. Starting with the shuttle option provided by the hotel from Mishima station, which also took us to Oshino hakkai, what a gorgeous place, before ending up at the hotel. We were really satisfied of our driver who shared facts about Yamanashi prefecture and Fuji. Our check-in process was also a really nice experience. From the moment we arrived we felt the hospitality of the hotel service crew. They escorted us to our room and helped with our luggage. Staying at a Sanri-Comfort Western Room, we had access to 2 lounges, where in one of them we had access to many kind of amazing wine from Yamanashi, among other tasty snacks. We choose our yukata and headed for matcha tasting. This is located in another part of the building which also gives us a peak at the wonderful garden. The matcha and snack we received helped us settle in with the calm garden view. Then came dinner. My god, the dinner was above and beyond. Neither of us had an 8 course dinner before with such a perfect service and absolutely amazing food. Hats of to the restaurant and service crew. Truly impressed. We decided to walk of the calories in the hotels beautiful garden at night. The illumination creates a really romantic experience. After this, we attended the Taiko drum show, which is organized by the hotel crew. First time for me and I can say it definitely made our experience even more special. Fantastic work. Then the star of the show. The open-air bath on the balcony. The sight of Mt. Fuji early morning from the bath, was a magical experience which we'll never forget. The buffet breakfast provides a great selection of food and drinks, rest assured we left very pleased. All in all, this was an extraordinary stay for us. Nothing but max points. Wish we'll have the chance to visit again.

The service was great! The view is amazing. The only minor drawback was that the breakfast was exactly the same for both days. We went down at 7 AM and were seated by a window overlooking Mount Fuji, which was lovely! You can see beautiful Mount Fuji right from your room; I didn't even want to go out exploring. I just wanted to relax on the balcony or in the bathtub and enjoy the view! They also offer complimentary evening drinks, including corn soup, juice, and soda, as well as cream puffs and bread. Plus, there's free ramen in the evenings!

Pros: 1. The Mt. Fuji view was perfect. The cleanliness and condition of the facilities were absolutely fine, even exceeding expectations. It's much better than some older, traditional hotels with Mt. Fuji views, offering excellent value for money at this price point. 2. The hotel service was also great. From the front desk to the restaurant staff and the housekeepers, everyone offered service with a smile. Perhaps because it was the off-season, another couple checking in at the same time received a room upgrade. The hotel also provides a convenient shuttle service from Kawaguchiko Station. 3. The restaurant staff were very professional. While the sukiyaki for dinner wasn't a huge surprise, it was decent and had no flaws. 4. It's only a few hundred meters from Oishi Park, which is easily walkable. Compared to other attractions, it's a bit more niche, but the scenery is beautiful and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Cons: 1. It's quite a distance from Kawaguchiko Station, making it a bit far from other attractions. 2. You can't see Mt. Fuji at night due to the lack of light (which isn't the hotel's fault). 3. All rooms are non-smoking, and the small open space in front of the hotel with Mt. Fuji views is also a non-smoking area. There's only a small designated smoking area at the back entrance of the hotel. As a smoker, it's a bit inconvenient, but completely understandable and acceptable. 4. Also, there are no convenience stores or supermarkets within walking distance of the hotel. The Oishi Store listed on Apple Maps is actually closed. 5. To reach the hotel, you have to walk up a relatively long slope. It can be a bit tiring if you're on foot, but once you're down the slope, you're right by Lake Kawaguchiko, and there are very few people. Overall, the hotel is excellent. If you're staying with a partner, you can take a walk along Lake Kawaguchiko below the hotel. With Mt. Fuji right in front of you, the atmosphere is romantic and there are few people around. Highly recommended.
