I stayed here after climbing Mt. Fuji. I was able to relax in a Japanese-style Room. The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of both Japanese and Western options, and everything was delicious. In particular, it was great to have an omelet made right in front of me. Parking is free, and check-out is at 11:00, so I’d like to stay again if I have the chance.

The Room was spacious, and the views were wonderful from both the guest room and the large public bath. Above all, the location was excellent. I woke up just after 5 a.m. and took a walk to nearby Ubuyagasaki and the Kawaguchiko Ohashi Bridge. The scenery from there was truly beautiful, and it was a moment that made me genuinely glad I chose this Hotel.

We stayed as a family of five, and the hospitality was outstanding. Although they call it a welcome drink, the drink corner was available almost all day throughout our Hotel stay, and until dinner there was even unlimited sparkling wine. In addition to the dagashi (Japanese snack) buffet service and amenities such as lotion, they also offered rentals like a baby formula maker and board games—everything you could ask for. The manga corner wasn’t just about the number of volumes; it also had sofas and cozy hideaway-like spaces, so we spent blissful time there. There are sofa reading areas and kids’ spaces throughout the building, making it truly relaxing.\nThe breakfast and dinner buffets didn’t use luxury ingredients, but there were many delicious, well-thought-out dishes. Alcohol was also all-you-can-drink, and we could compare local sake varieties. The kids-only buffet area and automatic pancake oven were fun, and we also enjoyed local specialties such as hoto hot pot and Fujinomiya yakisoba.\nThere were many international guests as well, but plenty of multilingual signs were posted around the Hotel, and everyone followed Japanese manners, so there was no stress at all.\nBecause the building has some age to it, it had a Showa-retro feel; however, Facility such as the toilets were updated to modern models, so it didn’t bother us at all for a family trip.\nWe would love to come again with our whole family.

This was our third stay. Our whole family loves it, and although we consider other places each time, we always end up choosing this one. Above all, the view of Mt. Fuji right in front of you is breathtaking. (Depending on the weather, there were days when it wasn’t visible even though it’s so close.) Every dish was delicious, and we truly enjoyed a luxurious getaway with meals prepared right in front of us. All the staff were courteous and friendly, and we’d love to visit again in a different season.
