I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and had a spectacular view of Mt Fuji, which was perfect any time of day. However, the room was a bit small. The cleanliness was top-notch, offering stunning views of both the lake and Fuji mountain. The service was exceptional, especially from our personal 'butler. ' The location was excellent for a tranquil stay away from the busy tourist spots. The dining options were delicious, combining a good selection of Western and Japanese breakfast foods. Although the facilities were great, the value for money could be better.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were still a bit stuffy for a comfortable sleep, but on the bright side, they offer a view of Mount Fuji and are equipped with a balcony that gives you an incredible view of Lake Kawaguchi and Mt. The service was very nice and the staff explains each course as it is presented. The location is breathtaking with an amazing view of Mount Fuji, but the dining could use some improvement. The hotel has some excellent facilities but may need a touch-up in the rooms.

Staying at this hotel was a unique experience. The rooms had no beds but were equipped with tatami floor mats and ground-level chairs and coffee tables, creating a traditional atmosphere. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to assist and even coming out to see us off at check-out. The location, although a bit away from the main street of Lake Kawaguchiko, offered a peaceful setting near some small shops and provided easy access to local attractions. The dining options were varied and delicious, offering both Japanese and Western dishes, but the absence of buttermilk biscuits was a small letdown.
