Fuji Lake Hotel

The hotel room was spacious, and the bathroom had a separate wet and dry area. We booked a lake view room, and the view was great with plenty of natural light. This was a very satisfying hotel during our summer trip to Japan. The hotel's viewing platform offered a clear view of Mount Fuji, and we were lucky to see the snow-free summit in the summer 🗻.

Excellent hotel! We had a very comfortable stay. The room we booked was spacious and had a great ocean view as soon as we opened the curtains. The breakfast selection was also very extensive. It's located right near Lake Kawaguchiko.

We were a party of two adults and one child, and paid over 4000 yen per night, which was definitely not worth it. The hotel is very small and has many tiny steps. I even fell in the hotel garden. It's also an hour's drive from Mount Fuji. The cleanliness of the hotel was pretty average, and it just felt like a very old property. We had breakfast and dinner included, but the food wasn't as good as what you'd find outside.

The view from the room was absolutely stunning, with beautiful Lake Kawaguchiko and a magnificent Mount Fuji. The breakfast and dinner buffets offered a rich and varied selection.

Fuji Lake Hotel is situated right on the shores of Lake Kawaguchiko. On one side, you're treated to the magnificent silhouette of Mount Fuji, and on the other, breathtaking lake views. In the early morning, the lake is often shrouded in a light mist, with the mountain's outline subtly emerging. Evenings bring stunning sunsets, casting a golden glow over the water, creating a tranquility that truly takes your breath away. The hotel's courtyard is a picturesque scene with vibrant maple leaves contrasting beautifully with the evergreen pines. What truly made an impression, however, was every single staff member. From the polite greetings of the doorman, who also ensured our luggage was in our room before we arrived, to the front desk staff who patiently and thoroughly explained the hotel's operating hours (a special thank you to Mr. Oishi for his enthusiastic introduction to the hotel facilities). When we returned to the hotel on a rainy day, we were offered towels, and there was hot tea available in the lobby. The restaurant staff were very professional. During our four-night stay, our room was consistently spotless every time we returned (many thanks to the housekeeping team). Upon check-out, staff saw us off at the door, waving goodbye. Every detail was handled with such care, making us feel genuinely welcome. Fuji Lake Hotel didn't just leave us with memories of Mount Fuji's reflection; it left us with the gentlest encounters of our journey.

They offer a shuttle service from Kawaguchiko Station, which takes about five minutes to reach the hotel. The hotel is a bit old-school, showing its age, but the room I booked had a view of Mount Fuji. The buffet was excellent, and the alcoholic drinks were also self-service. It's just a five-minute walk to the cable car station, which is great for avoiding crowds in the morning.
