Fuji Hanayagi No Sho Keizan

Stayed several times and was very satisfied every time. The kaiseki dinner was delicious, the service was attentive, the staff were polite, and the hot spring bath was also good. This time I also saw the custom of praying for "Daimonyaki"

It doesn’t matter that the hotel is old. The look at the front desk that looked like a widower really made me worried for her. The service quality in Japan has declined after the epidemic. It is no longer the Japan it used to be. I don’t recommend staying there.

Varied food, interesting evening drum show, good service,

The room was spacious enough, but the facilities were quite old, so it wasn't very comfortable. As for food, the breakfast buffet was satisfying in both variety and taste. Dinner was a multi-course meal, but the taste and quantity were a bit lacking.

The rooms, large public bath, and the entire building were all well-cleaned. The staff were especially friendly and made for a comfortable stay. There was an authentic taiko drum show, and I was surprised to hear that it was performed by the hotel staff.

**Onsen Ryokan Review: ★★☆☆☆** I had high expectations because it was advertised as a five-star hotel, but in reality, my expectations were greatly disappointed. First of all, the building was noticeably old and the tatami mats were frayed. Furthermore, the passage to the dining room was cold, and the dining room itself was very cold because I was made to sit near the entrance. The quality of the food was not so good, and the price of 20,000 yen per night, especially at the end of the year, seemed expensive. The attitude of the staff was also dissatisfying. Although there were many maids, most of them just stood and greeted me, and when I checked in, I was shown to my room, but they left immediately without making tea. As a guest, I wished I had looked at the building map and gone to my room myself. As for the food, it was mainly Japanese food, but I usually expect Japanese food to be easy to digest, so that I get hungry after 2-3 hours, but the food at this hotel did not digest even after 4-5 hours, and I felt that they were not using high-quality ingredients. The exterior was also quite old, and the impression of a five-star hotel was weak. However, the baths for men and women were switched in the morning, and the women's open-air bath was better, which was a relief. The open-air bath was a moderate temperature and had a fatigue-relieving effect. Overall, the quality is not good enough to be featured in a magazine as a five-star hotel, and I feel that around 10,000 yen per night is reasonable during the off-season just before the end of the year. However, I don't see any appeal in returning, and unfortunately I probably won't be visiting again.

Dinner was disappointing, but breakfast had a lot of variety and I wished I had more time.
