Fuji View Hotel

Rented a bike from the hotel (front desk was kind to do it before official hours), cycled round Kawaguchiko Lake (just a stone throw away) in -3 Deg C weather (17km+ with some terrain). Front desk even pointed out where to take good pictures of Mount Fuji. Friendly english speaking staff. Rooms are huge, easily sleeps 3 or 4. Garden view rooms can only be appreciated in the morning, Fuji view rooms cost more. Nothing much to do after dark except for Onsen. Day view around the Lake are awesome. Free breakfast is good with Mount Fuji view. Nice observatory at 6th level. Stayed only 1 night, wish that i had extended another 1 or 2 days.

Fuji View Hotel is a huge hotel with breathtaking views of the lake and Mt. Fuji. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see Mt. Fuji from the hotel as we were out on a tour when we finally caught a glimpse, if you will be staying in a Fuji View room would definitely be an incredible experience. It was fully booked during our visit so we chose a twin room with lake view. The hotel is surrounded by cherry blossom trees, which weren’t blooming yet during our stay, but I can only imagine how beautiful it would be in full bloom. The hotel’s ambience is wonderful, especially the downstairs area overlooking the garden—it’s so peaceful and relaxing. Breakfast was great, offering a wide variety of Western and Japanese options. The staff were all very kind and helpful. Our twin room with a lake view was spacious and absolutely stunning. Waking up to foggy mountains and the serene lake every morning was a breathtaking experience. Because the hotel is large, it is a bit farther from restaurants and convenience stores. There is one about a 5–10 minute walk away, but we usually took a taxi to the center, where supermarkets and restaurants are, which costs around 1,600 yen one way. The staff were happy to call a taxi for us whenever needed. The hotel also offers a shuttle bus from Kawaguchiko Station, which was very convenient. Just be sure to arrive at the pickup location on time, as the shuttle arrives on schedule and leaves almost immediately. Overall, our stay was amazing, and I would highly recommend this hotel for a peaceful and scenic getaway! PS~ They also have a viewing deck at level 6 where you can see unobstructed views of Mt Fuji if you’re lucky ;)

Large property situated in beautiful gardens and close to lake kawaguchiko with a breathtaking view of Mount Fuji.. We booked a Fuji view room at the front of the property and it was a highlight of our holiday watching sunrise and sunset from our balcony. The room was large and clean. The free shuttle bus from the station made getting to the hotel really easy and the staff were wonderful and attentive. While we did not have time to use the onsen we did have dinner and breakfast at the hotel as part of the half board package (which we selects due to limited food options in the immediate area). Both were excellent as was the local wine we tried.

The hotel boasts a fantastic location with stunning views of Mount Fuji, visible from the restaurant, lobby, and various spots around the property—a real treat, especially on clear days. Though the hotel is old, it has been beautifully renovated and well-maintained. The staff is exceptionally kind and helpful, making the stay even more pleasant. A highlight was the kaiseki-style dinner, which was truly outstanding, and the onsen was wonderful. The room was spacious with a breathtaking lake view, especially from the 5th floor.

Amazing hotel with beautiful zen garden on huge grounds next to Lake Kawaguchiko with the most beautiful autumn colours at this time of the year. It offers amazing views of Mt Fuji, front on. Onsen facilities are a wonderful way to end your day of exploring. Wonderful kind and helpful staff. I love this hotel and will stay here again when I visit Lake Kawaguchiko. 😍
