I stayed here again while watching a race at Fuji Speedway. I’d love to stay every time, but it’s hard to get a Reservation (T_T) If I can make a Reservation again, I look forward to staying with you.

The Room’s unit bathroom was a bit small and inconvenient, but everything else was very good!

I chose this Hotel because I was on a business trip and needed to stay within a tight budget. I’m not sure if it was due to the season, but around Gotemba Station there were only a few Hotels that fit my budget, including this one. The building itself felt a bit old, but the room was very clean. One thing to note is that the Hotel apparently doesn’t have an elevator, so if you’re assigned a room on the 3rd floor and have heavy luggage, it could be tough. The room had amenities like a razor and toothbrush, and it also came with an air purifier and hair dryer—convenient features you’d expect from a Business Hotel. There also seemed to be water dispensers on each floor, which was very handy when I wanted drinking water. Also, the shampoo and body soap were “tea” versions (tea shampoo? tea body soap?), which felt like a nice touch given that this is a tea-producing area. It didn’t seem strongly scented like tea, so if you’re curious, it might be worth trying.

As it was our first time camping/glamping, I think it was well suited for beginners. I won’t go into details as I don’t want to negatively affect the Facility, but when my child got burned, you took great care of us. Without showing any displeasure, you responded with such kindness in so many ways, and we are truly grateful. It was a little disappointing that it became pitch-dark at night with almost no streetlights and felt scary, and that there was no bathtub for the morning Onsen. Other than that, we had an amazing time: delicious food until we were completely full, very clean toilets and wash areas, activities like a campfire and roasting marshmallows, and the outdoor playground equipment. The Room was also lovely and comfortable. Every staff member was wonderful and made us feel warmly welcomed. Thank you very much.

The owner couple are very pleasant, and their attentive service reflects their long experience in hosting. It was disappointing that the TV didn’t support Abema and that the shower was a bit difficult to use. The kitchen was well equipped, so we had no inconvenience. This is a great, affordable condominium with an unobstructed view of Mt. Fuji.

For 2 female guests Though the space was a bit small and the Onsen had alternating times for men and women, we were very satisfied with the natural Onsen. The drink service is excellent, especially for those who enjoy alcohol. With a convenience store right next door, the location is great. We chose a "Room assigned on arrival with breakfast buffet included" Plan and stayed in a corner room on the top floor. We would love to stay again if we have another opportunity!

While nothing particularly stood out, the place was clean and had a calm atmosphere. Breakfast was included, and I was able to relax comfortably. I was also able to park in the adjacent parking lot. I was a little confused about the 100-yen fee when putting my shoes away.

Wherever you travel domestically, start by looking for APA Hotel. It offers a sense of efficiency in every aspect. This time, I made a same-day Reservation due to work circumstances, and I was lucky to stay at a very reasonable price. I look forward to staying again in the future.

No Meals Included, stayed with a family of six. As you can tell from the Plan, you might think this is an ultra-budget Accommodation. The location is great: there’s a supermarket and convenience stores nearby, and if you walk about 20 minutes you can reach a main road lined with well-known chain restaurants. It was a Ryokan made up of three buildings with the front desk building in between. Every building shows its age; some Rooms seem to have been renovated, but the building with the family Room—and the family Room we stayed in (a 10-tatami Japanese-style room)—has an atmosphere that some people may find off-putting. That said, the Room amenities and equipment, plus thoughtful touches for kids such as free drinks around the front desk and game facilities, along with outstanding hospitality, were impressive. For our family, the hospitality far outweighed any dissatisfaction with the Facility, and it became a Ryokan we’d like to stay at again. If I had to mention one notable complaint, it would be issues in the bath area. In the men’s bath there was one washing station that couldn’t be used; in the women’s bath there was reportedly only one washing station with hot water. (However, there are also two shower rooms available 24 hours a day separate from the baths.) Also, I personally didn’t mind it because of the low price, but there were many young guests like sports teams on trips, which apparently scared our children. This time we couldn’t use some of their signature services—such as the free alcohol bar until 10:30 p.m. or the rooftop footbath with views of Mt. Fuji—but even without those extras, for this price and level of service we would definitely like to stay again. That said as mentioned above, it may not suit those looking for a spotless Accommodation or brand-new facilities and service standards.

We stayed on 7/26 with my wife, daughter, and our beloved dog. We chose the trailer cottage FUJI4. There was a covered space in front of the entrance where we could enjoy BBQ, so we tried BBQ for the first time! Our first attempt at lighting charcoal went well, and the meat, clams, and yakisoba turned out delicious—it was amazing! The Room was clean, and the staff at the front desk were kind. We would love to stay again!

Meals are tempura, freshly prepared on-site and delicious. The Room and restroom are spacious and comfortable.

Used for the first time for an overnight stay before visiting Fuji Speedway. The Facility seems fairly new, and it was very clean and comfortable. The female staff at the counter during check-in/out were all very kind and helpful. The Room had two windows that could be opened about 5 cm, so it was easy to ventilate well and made the stay pleasant. The air conditioning worked great. There doesn’t seem to be a convenience store within walking distance, so please keep that in mind.

Affordable and conveniently located near the interchange, the free dinner curry was a highlight. However, it unfortunately ended in late August 2025 due to rising costs. I would gladly pay a slightly higher accommodation fee if it could be reinstated. The service was standard for a Business Hotel—neither exceptional nor disappointing—but overall, my impression was positive.
