The location is a real highlight — Mount Fuji is visible directly from the street, which is a wonderful bonus. The hotel is also within a comfortable 15-minute walk to the train station, and for those arriving by car, parking is plentiful. The room size, while compact, is reasonable for the price. Overall, the hotel offers fair value for money

Comfortable stay near Mt Fuji

Good value for money near Mt Fuji. Firm bed was quite comfortable. They helped me arrange for a taxi at 5 AM, which was super helpful given I do not speak Japanese. Free coffee was a plus as well!

We only stayed one night in Kawaguchiko, but it was unforgettable. The highlight was definitely the stunning view of Mt. Fuji — we could see it right from our balcony and even from the road just outside the hotel. It felt like a postcard come to life! The room was super clean, cozy, and very comfortable — exactly what we needed after a long day of travel. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Wish we could’ve stayed longer! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful stay with unbeatable views of Mt. Fuji.

Good value hotel and Mt Fuji is visible from here

Easy check-in, helpful staff, welcome hot coffee, in fact free coffee every afternoon. You can see Mt Fuji from hotel windows - what a bonus! Traditional Japanese breakfast at 800yen - so yummy. About 10-15minutes walk to Kawaguchiko station. Day passes by sightseeing buses or packaged tours are all at your finger tips to find out at the station. The 5 lakes and Mt Fuji - being the centre attraction is visible just from most vantage points of the lakes - so beautiful!

Reception were happy to store our luggage prior to check in. When we returned, the luggage had been taken up to our room. Very helpful. Spacious room with balcony, kitchen facilities, comfortable bed and powerful shower. Tasty traditional Japanese breakfast available at a reasonable price. Overall really good value for money.

This turned out to be more of a business hotel, and a bit out of the way. Kawaguchiko in general is not high density and there were not too many options in the direct vicinity of the hotel. A bit over a kilometre from the train station, and about 700 meters to the convenience store and shopping centre. The room was nice and spacious, if somewhat dated, but very comfortable. Absolutely loved the optional breakfast, a traditional Japanese set that was mind blowing, priced at only ¥600, do not miss (reservations are required by 9pm the previous night). There is a nice view of Mt. Fuji, as probably every other vantage point has from the township.

The rooms are very old and dated. My particular room had two single beds. There was hair on the pillow case on one bed, there was what looked to be a exposed live wire hanging off the back of the toilet. Overall it was clean enough if you really needed somewhere to stay and the price somewhat reflects what to expect. Photos online do need to be updated. Staff were excellent and friendly.
