Wonderful stay

I love this hotel. Yes, it’s a little dated but to me that adds to its charm. It’s an older historic hotel with lots of interesting rooms. The onset was fabulous and updated. The staff was the best. I’d stay here again.

Liked: Amenities
This is a lovely old place. I loved the traditional Japanese-style room, complete with futon & tatami mat! The staff are very kind, and the hotel has a lot of amenities & locations to explore within, all with a unique, authentic retro style. The size of the room felt palatial compared to the ones I had in Tokyo and Kyoto. I like the location - you can easily walk to good restaurants, e-bike/boat rentals, Lawson’s & the Scenic Ropeway, yet it still feels remote enough to be relaxing. My only big disappointment was the privacy/modesty window cling in the ladies’ onsen. I understand why it has to be there, as that side faces a neighborhood, but it ruins the view. If you are actually sitting down in the bath, you can’t see anything. I strongly suggest this hotel to look into window treatments that will stop people from looking in but not stop your guests from looking out. “Bathing while enjoying a view of Mt.Fuji” was a major reason I booked this property, so this was frustrating for me. If it can’t be replaced, why not alternate the baths? I noticed from the street that the lakeside men’s bath has no such block. Additionally… a sign with onsen etiquette might go a long way. I witnessed many of my fellow travelers hopping right into the bath without showering properly, not understanding what to do with their towels, etc. This is obviously not the hotel’s fault, but they might be able to help it a bit~

Excellent unique experience. Definetely would stay again in this older building that has such a wonderful staff, authentic Japanese rooms, wonderful onsen and fronts lovely Lake Kawaguchiko & Mt Fuji. Be sure to reserve the, in advance only, most unique Japanese breakfast experience. 2 mornings and each was different. Great shuttle service. Wish we had stayed 3-4 nights. Walkable to some restaurants and Lawson Store.

An older hotel but with impeccable service. Very polite and trying hard to be of service. We chose the breakfast option and were surprised by an authentic Japanese style breakfast. Not what we were expecting but a true authentic experience. Again the service was great, like having a Japanese grandmother making you breakfast. A unique stay.

Amazing stay. The property is old, but charming and quaint, and the location is right in front of the lake. But more than that, I have never experienced such a kind and hospitable staff. My wife and I were hiking Mt. Fuji the day after our stay, and the hotel went above and beyond with shuttle service to and from the train station, calling us a taxi and holding our luggage well after check out. The kindness was unmatched on our trip. Thank you, Kawaguchiko Hotel for a memorable experience!
