quiet and relaxing trip
nice and quiet hotel and old-style onsen. i have no idea if it's the winter time reason or whatever, not so many guests there, basically we shared the whole hotel among 2 or 3 rooms of guests only. nice in a way. but honestly i think the dinner and breakfast could have been better.

What I like: Clean, convenient, within walking distance to eki and many shops and good view of Mt Fuji
What I dislike: Based on prior experience staying in half board hotel, I don't think I got what I paid for. The dinner was ok, breakfast was not great.

We had a nice time, the rooms a bit old but comfortable.
Only toilet in room could use an update.
Food and onsen were really good. Good deal for this price

The staff is attentive and helpful. Very pleasant with the shuttle service from the station. The lake and fujisan can view from our room. I am happy that the security during night shift is so responsible, he knock our door non stop because he saw our key was hanging outside the door. We are appreciate for the help. Arigatou gozaimasu to all your staff.

Beautiful room in a clean hotel, handy to the centre of town.
However there was initial confusion at the check-in around additional charges which were forced upon us before they would let us have the room key. Even although we had shown them documented evidence that " Guaranteed & paid in Full" was not understood by the check-in staff.

Onsen was good
The outdoor onsen is really good. One thing I don’t like is the shared common bathroom at the dormitory area is share by female and male together and it has smell, so I don’t use it. I rather go down to the public female bathroom at Onsen area which is much better. I like their free shuttle bus to Train station too. The building interior itself is pretty old.

Decent Enough
The hotel was decent aside from the uncomfortable beds + pillows and the subpar breakfast (honestly save your money on breakfast and go to one of the local restaurants).
However the hot springs were fabulous as well as the aesthetic of the room, as well as that, it is very close to Lake Kawaguchi.

I would consider this a hotel more than a hostel. The staff was attentive and friendly. Check in process was easy and appreciated that they scheduled a taxi for my early departure the following day that was outside of the free hotel shuttle times. The tatami room was very spacious and well furnished. We appreciated that the onsen was tattoo friendly for my friend. Only thing we were frustrated with was the phone number listed on Expedia and online was inaccurate. We tried to call the hotel to schedule a pick up from Kawaguchiko Station but upon calling, the number was listed as invalid.

complain for the fecility booking through website.
The hotel was NOT what it was look like on their website, It was noise and over crowed. I have booked a room for one person and it turned up it was mixed sex dormitory and without any washing facility. It refused give my money back as I requested. It did NOT mention any this on their website. So please be aware that when you book your room for this hotel!!!
