Good place to stay
Very nice experience, very friendly and welcoming staff. The room was good and clean, bathroom included. The onsen on the top floor is great and has a view on Mt Fuji. The hotel is walking distance to restaurants and shops

Great location
Amazing property right beside Lake Kawaguchiko. Walking distance from major areas including the train station, convenience stores and restaurants. Room is a bit dated and the beds could be updated better but overall doable. Service is great. We opted for the breakfast one one of the days and it was an awesome traditional breakfast. I would consider staying here again the next time I'm back.

A great hotel with a wonderful history. It is an old fashion hotel with modern amenities. Lovely views of Mount Fuji and the lake from inside and outside the hotel. The Japanese style breakfast was the best! The staff were fantastic!
A very pleasant stay.

Un séjour calme et apaisant
Un séjour très agréable au Kawaguchiko hôtel, le onsen au dernier étage est un vrai bonheur, l’accueil très chaleureux, les collaborateurs très à l’écoute, le petit déjeuner japonais épatant et servi par des dames adorables. La déco est d’époque mais ça fait son charme !

Excellent unique experience. Definetely would stay again in this older building that has such a wonderful staff, authentic Japanese rooms, wonderful onsen and fronts lovely Lake Kawaguchiko & Mt Fuji. Be sure to reserve the, in advance only, most unique Japanese breakfast experience. 2 mornings and each was different. Great shuttle service. Wish we had stayed 3-4 nights. Walkable to some restaurants and Lawson Store.

Lovely traditional 1950s Japanese hotel
Family of 3. Had lake view Japanese style room. Futons were comfy. View was amazing. You have to get the traditional Japanese breakfast. The onsen was clean and quiet. Women’s side can see Mt Fuji on a nice day. Men’s side has lake view.
This is a family run, small hotel built in the 1950s. It’s still decorated as such and reminds me of my grandma’s house; so if you are looking for modern updates this is not the place for you. If you like history and traditional then I think you should try it.
I would definitely come back again.

This hotel sits beside the lake kawaguchi; I found Japan emperor family has ever stayed in this hotel before. It is good experience to start from this hotel and walk along the lake. They also have an observation platform to view Mt.Fuji. But unfortunately there was heavy fog when I was there and the Mt.Fuji is not viewable.
It is 15 minutes walk from Kawaguchiko station; and they provide shuttle to and from the station.
The staff are very nice.
Maybe because it is old, some stuff was out of order, such as two power outlets did not have power.
It is a very good experience to stay one night there for me.
