Romantic Hotels in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

"This hotel is full of convenience. Free shuttle bus between Kawaguchiko station and hotel frequently(no reservation required).. plus the free transportation to Oshino Hakkai and some other places ( Reservation is required). Walking distance (15-20 mins) to station but not working for us due to lots of rain. Room is clean and spacious. Breakfast is ok not much meaty options as people tend to queue up before time. The only downside is that we were given the3rd floor and hotel is full of scaffolding currently so blocking the view. We stayed in building B which I believe on the clear day you could see Mt.Fuji from your room. Highly recommend this hotel."

"This was a strange place. Very nice staff and food was exceptional, but it had many drawbacks. Firstly, it was very old fashioned and dated, like stepping back in time. The place has no atmosphere, you can’t sit, eat or relax in the common areas like the 3 restaurants unless you make a pre scheduled reservation. If it’s the middle of the day, you can’t sit there, it’s closed. Yes, it’s directly on the lake, but so are many others. There is no Fuji view in the common areas, I was told this by the lady on reception today. My view from Fiji-view room was obscured by an old rusty fence. We also booked a room with “terrace” imagining sitting outside looking at Fuji, but actually there are no chairs to sit outside and it’s not pleasant to sit out there at all. They shouldn’t miss sell this by stating it has a terrace. Corridors are dark and old, sometimes scary. Like an old run down hotel that time forgot. Didn’t like it at all. We couldn’t use the onsen as it’s male/female separated and travelling with my child who is male in gender they expected us to separate. Well, I’m not going to send my child off naked to a bath with other male strangers naked on his own. But that was their expectation. So we couldn’t use that facility. Didn’t understand why difffeent guests used different restaurants - or what the different restaurants were for. This was not explained. We pre arranged dinner and breakfast and had this in the downstairs restaurant area. The food was absolutely incredible -one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten! Do not miss having the set dinner here, cannot recommend highly enough if you like traditional Japanese food."

"This hotel chain is pretty consistent across the board. It has hot springs, though they're not very big. There's free late-night ramen, unlimited ice cream sticks and Yakult drinks, and coffee is free all day. Everything's great, except you can't book a king bed – you have to get twin beds. The hygiene is excellent, and the rooms are quite spacious. The price is also quite affordable for Japan."

"The hotel is right in Yamanakako Village, with a bus stop conveniently located at the entrance, making it easy to get around. They also offer bicycle rentals, and Lake Yamanakako is perfect for a scenic bike ride. The room was very spacious, featuring a hot tub with direct views of Mount Fuji – soaking while gazing at the snow-capped mountain was absolutely amazing. Our special room even came with a sauna, making for a perfect sauna-then-soak experience. The hotel breakfast was excellent, and for dinner, we could choose from an 8-course menu delivered right to our room. The staff were also very warm and attentive. This is definitely my top choice for accommodation in Yamanakakao."

"I had a great stay at Toyoko Inn near Fujisan. The hotel was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were polite and helpful, and the location is convenient if you’re planning to explore the area around Mt. Fuji. The breakfast was delicious and had a good variety, which was a nice way to start the day. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a simple, clean, and hassle-free stay in the area. There is also a mag lev museum nearby that you can visit if you’re interested with trains ☺️"
