Hotels With Spa in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

The 9:00 AM check-out is way too early, and the hotel itself is quite old. The price doesn't match the quality. I wouldn't recommend staying here, especially if you're planning to visit Mount Fuji; it's better to stay closer to the mountain.

The room was spacious, and we had a fantastic view of Mount Fuji right from our window. You could even see Mount Fuji from the breakfast area! Free parking is available for guests, but remember to let the front desk know.

This hotel is located south of Lake Kawaguchiko, which isn't the most popular area. It's also quite old, dating back to 1887. However, the facilities and maintenance are up to par, and the hotel has a distinct, traditional Japanese style that exudes a historical sense of luxury. A wonderful surprise was that all the mountain-view rooms offer an unobstructed and stunning view of Mount Fuji, truly unique and beautiful, peaceful and serene. It's definitely worth staying here. Even though the hotel isn't in a prime location around Lake Kawaguchiko, they provide a shuttle service to and from Kawaguchiko train station, which takes about 10 minutes. Another highlight for me was the hot springs. The male and female baths are separate, extremely clean, and quite modern. There are indoor and outdoor baths; the outdoor setting is particularly relaxing. The contrast between the warm spring water and the cold outdoor air creates a comfortable feeling of embracing nature with an open heart. However, it's not advisable to stay in the springs for too long; I was back in my room within twenty minutes. The hot spring experience is definitely one of my fondest memories of this hotel. For dinner, the hotel offers French cuisine and Kaiseki. We ordered one of each. They were decent, but the presentation and dining experience were very impressive. Right behind the hotel is the lake, where you can rent bicycles and cycle around, enjoying the beautiful scenery. All in all, this hotel was excellent and exceeded my expectations.

This hotel boasts unbeatable views. Lake Kawaguchiko is right next door, and Mount Fuji stands majestically behind it. You can choose between a lake view room or a mountain view room, but there isn't an option to see both the lake and the mountain from the same room. The hotel's service is absolutely superb. There's a frequent shuttle bus service to and from Kawaguchiko Station. Check-in is handled by a dedicated staff member who comes to you, so you don't have to wait in line at the front desk. The dinner at the hotel is incredibly diverse, with a wide selection of Japanese dishes like sushi, Western cuisine, and Chinese food, all of which are delicious. Breakfast is slightly less impressive than dinner but still very extensive. The rooms are spacious, and the futons are already laid out for you by staff upon arrival. Overall, it's a hotel with excellent value for money, though it does show a little age.

The location is acceptable and convenient enough for exploring the Fuji area, though it’s not particularly outstanding. It serves well as a base for sightseeing and enjoying the surrounding nature. The hotel itself feels somewhat aging, and parts of the property show signs of wear. While the room had a traditional Japanese style that added to the atmosphere, I did notice some dust on the tatami floor, which was slightly disappointing. A bit more attention to detailed cleaning and maintenance would greatly improve the overall impression. The highlight of the stay was definitely the top floor onsen. The bathing facilities were pleasant and relaxing, providing a wonderful way to unwind after a day of exploring. The onsen area appeared clean and well-maintained, and the experience was peaceful and enjoyable.

The breakfast was great, and on a clear day we had a room with a view of Mt. Fuji.

This hotel has a very traditional, old-fashioned feel. We arrived at Lake Kawaguchiko around 11 PM, so we had to take a taxi to the hotel. We rang the bell at the front desk, and a staff member, wearing traditional wooden clogs, came out. They barely understood English but were very dedicated. They escorted us to our room, meticulously explaining each facility, and even gestured to show us where breakfast would be served. If you want a lake view, I recommend booking a Japanese-style room. We booked a Western-style room, which was on the other side, and in the morning, we saw smoke rising from chimneys outside – a charming, everyday scene. We didn't see any bears, but surprisingly, we spotted monkeys! Breakfast was a set meal, though eating fish so early in the morning took some getting used to. The morning shuttle can take you to Lake Kawaguchiko. For the return trip in the afternoon, the shuttle only picks up after 3 PM. Alternatively, you can take the Red Line bus to a jewelry museum (I can't recall the exact stop) and walk a few steps from there. On weekend evenings, you can watch fireworks from across the river, right outside the hotel. They launch them from both the left and right sides. If you want a closer view, follow the crowd to the left for about 10 minutes.

Just a heads-up, there are two of these hotels in Kofu, so make sure you choose the one near the station. The food was great, with lots of local Kofu specialties, and everything smelled delicious. The hot springs were also very relaxing. However, the hotel is located at a crossroads where pedestrians can't cross directly, so you have to walk a detour, which was a bit inconvenient.

Me and my cousin had a great time at Villa Ensoleille with well-stocked kitchen, and stunning view from jacuzzi. Staffs are so friendly and welcoming, special thanks to Manager Mr. Hiroyuki-san for your hospitality. The villa is with an amazing view of Mt. Fuji and the environment is peaceful as well. We got an amazing time with an incredible Mt. Fiji view. Highly recommended Villa Ensoleille.

Enjoyed our stay at Fuji Onsenji Hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, and the onsen was very good and relaxing. Breakfast was a highlight felt like a private omakase experience, beautifully prepared and delicious. The only downside is the location, which is a bit less convenient, but overall a pleasant and memorable stay.
