THE GARDEN

Room was clean, bed was comfortable, view was fantastic. There are certainly fancier accommodations - but we really enjoyed our stay here. There were plenty of clean towels, the staff were very friendly on check in, it's really close to the train station and easy to find. When we arrived, the fridge was stocked with water. The rooms are also quite big by japanese standards.

When you arrive, the first thing you can enjoy is the modern architecture, which I really like. It reminds me of Tadao Andō. The hotel room is well equipped, the size is good and it even offers the possibility to cook. You just feel comfortable in it. The most important thing is of course the view of Mount Fuji. From the balcony you can enjoy the view with a few drinks and some food. If you're lucky, you'll wake up and the first thing you see from your bed is Mount Fuji. When driving using Google Maps, be careful as one route goes through very narrow streets, which could be problematic with a larger vehicle. However, there is a much more comfortable route which is preferable. However, you should keep in mind that no food is offered, but that wasn't particularly important to me. Overall, a great experience that justifies the cost.

"I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel twice, and both experiences were exceptional. The highlight, undoubtedly, was the breathtaking view of Mount Fuji from my room. It added a magical touch to my stay. What truly stood out, though, was the owner's thoughtful gesture during a rainy check-out. They generously provided us with two new umbrellas, saving the day and showcasing a level of customer care that goes beyond the ordinary. The consistency of this hotel's service across my visits is commendable. Clean rooms, welcoming staff, and those extra touches make it a standout choice. If you appreciate attention to detail and a view that takes your breath away, this is the place to be."

I really loved the overall look of the hotel. Everything was clean, sleek, and bright. You get a great centered view of Mt. Fuji. There are a few small buildings that make the view less clear, but that is to be expected. The patio includes chairs, so you can admire the view. I woke up and watched the sunrise on Mt. Fuji. Absolutely breathtaking. We wanted to see a bit more of the area and the hotel staff allowed us to leave our bags after check out while we explored. The hotel is a 10 minute walk from the station and just a quick taxi ride. Would definitely recommend staying here!

short 10-minute walk from the Kawaguchiko train station through a quaint local residential estate. amazing view of Mt Fuji from the room; we were lucky to have the sky clear up during sunrise at 5.30am. small room but it had everything we needed - all sorts of cutlery, shower amenities, slippers, towel rack, etc. hot water was incredible after a long day of travelling. vending machines sold beer, cup noodles, rice, pork curry and snacks.
