they have changed their pillows, mattress. it's good now.
and great view of mt. Fuji from the window (room 302)
We booked a room for 3 people for 2 nights. Room was clean & big enough for 3
people. It’s a twin bed room with an extra bed( extra bed comfortable to sleep in). Our room (#305) has a view of Mt. Fuji. We can see Mt. Fuji from our room window (please see photos below). We had breakfast outside hotel during our stay as they serve only JP breakfast (JPY 700/person). The reason was that breakfast was served only with boiled eggs (we needed to have scrambled eggs at that time). The hotel has a coin vending machine inside so you can buy any drinks from here all night. The hotel has a free big parking lot (we parked our rented car there for 2nights). The hotel itself is located by the city main road and the other side of the main road has a KFC, a convenience store, a Japanese restaurant . Hotel is not far from Lake Kawaguchiko. Recommended hotel.
It's ok but not recommending. Bed mattress, pillows and blanket is and not good. Having terrible stiff shoulder😥
They must provide more towels. Anyway location is very good and you can also use onsen.
I chose to stay at this hotel because it is not far from both Fujisan Station and Fujikyu Highland Station which is not more than 10 mins from both places.
I went to check in 1 hr earlier than the check in time and they allowed me to check in. I booked a non-smoking single room but was upgraded to a bigger room with 3 single beds inside, how lucky i was but i was alone.
There is hot spring in this hotel with a few ponds indoor and 2 ponds outdoor. The good thing is I tried the ponds outside which are very relaxed with cold weather but I was so sad since i cannot see Mount Fuji that day as it was raining and cloudy for a whole day.
Our room was small, as are most hotel rooms in Japan. It was basically furnished and provided any/all toiletries needed. There was a sento--hot tub + onsen--hot spring as part of a public bath, which made the experience even more traditional. For the feint of heart or overly modest...beware! Swimsuits NOT an option!
For the price, one can not beat the experience. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming; several were pretty fluent in English, which made communication easier. They even offer a traditional Japanese-style breakfast (for a surcharge), though we didn't have time in our short schedule to partake in it (ordered take-out from McDonalds and KFC 100 meters down the street...I know, I know, but very limited for time due to alterations in our itinerary).
I recommend anyone staying in the Mt. Fuji area to stay at this hotel. A couple points to consider:
The "public" bath is also available for a fee to people who aren't staying at the hotel. Locals also use this, but it was never over-crowded the four times I was there over two days.
From the train/bus station(s), it is at least a 1 km/15-minute walk, so consider a taxi to get back and forth if you aren't able to walk this distance or are otherwise apprehensive about walking with luggage.
Tip: print a copy of the hotel (or any other destination) in Japanese language to hand to your driver to avoid any miscommunication.
