Homestays in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

So far this is the most expansive room I booked, come with front view of Mt Fuji, room 412. However the Mt Fuji view did not command the price tag because unless you stay in for the whole day to enjoy the view of Mt Fuji. View of Mt Fuji can enjoy from all angle. Best of the hotel is the coffee serve which is the best so far, among dozen of hotels. The welcome drink of soft drink also last till 7pm, which is shorter that most of other hotel. May be I am biased, where the hotel have multiple accolades from Rakuten Travel, catering to a lot of local Japanese clients. The public bath also not great, where I have experience much better and real onsen at Ariman Onsen area. Area of improvement: 1. In the level one inner bath, there is a cover for the exhaust fan and is not mounted back after maintenance. 2. At the fifth level bath, there is one washing cubicle just besides the bath with no cover to prevent the person showering water into the bath.

Walking distance (around 400m?) has 24hrs convenient store. The room is very spacious. Sadly I didn't manage to see Mt.Fuji from the room the day I went, but they do provide a Mountain View Room. No issue with all the services. No issue for those who cant speak Japanese, they can communicate in both English and Mandarin here. For the bicycle rental price, it is 1000yen for 2hrs. But do note that they didn't provide a private bathroom, it is a public bathroom (Not a concern for me, but for those who prefer a better privacy do note about this) A lot of plugs in the room. Didn't face any issue with this stay. Can earn my 5-stars rating.

The staff were extremely friendly. Although this accommodation is frequented by foreigners, the glamping is very relaxing and there is an open-air bath, so the night view is beautiful and in the morning, depending on the weather, you can see Mt. Fuji right in front of you. The torii gate inside the accommodation offers a view of Mt. Fuji and is a great spot for taking photos. We stayed with our family, and it was an accommodation we would like to use again.

First of all, the mountain view room has a stunning view of Mount Fuji. Secondly, the hotel shuttle bus runs every hour and is very convenient. Finally, I have to say that the service staff are friendly and fluent in English, so there is no barrier to communication. Thanks to them for our wonderful trip!

eautiful Fuji view, relaxing onsen, and great hospitality I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The view of Mount Fuji was absolutely stunning — one of the highlights of my trip. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who made me feel very welcome. Both the dinner and breakfast were delicious, featuring a nice variety of Japanese dishes (see the photos for yourself!). The onsen was relaxing and clean, perfect after a long day of sightseeing. I also appreciated the good facilities, including the comfortable room and the thoughtful touch of providing a yukata for guests to wear during their stay. Overall, it’s a great place to relax and enjoy the Fuji area, offering a perfect balance of comfort, food, and beautiful scenery. Highly recommended!

My stay at the hotel is very nice. Staff are friendly and helpful, the food is yum, the room is clean, the view of my. fuji is stunning, the hot spring is relaxing. We will definitely return back jn future.

This was the hotel where we spent the most nights during our trip to Japan. First, let me explain why we chose this hotel. We were a group of four on a golf trip near Mount Fuji, and chartering a car in Japan is incredibly expensive. After two days of searching on Xiaohongshu and Ctrip, we stumbled upon this hidden gem. The owner is Chinese and offers a paid shuttle service daily from the hotel to the golf course. This service was incredibly thoughtful and convenient! While it's a paid service, it was a much more affordable and practical option compared to chartering a private car! Moving on to the service, the owners, a couple, are very genuine and down-to-earth. They sincerely provided dining recommendations, without any hidden agenda. The restaurants they suggested were all excellent value for money (a sushi restaurant and a yakiniku place) – delicious and affordable! They even took us to witness a panoramic sunset over Mount Fuji, which we truly appreciated! Lastly, regarding the hotel's location and facilities. It's situated at Lake Yamanaka near Mount Fuji, offering a peaceful and natural environment away from the crowds and bustle of Lake Kawaguchiko. It's definitely the top choice for anyone seeking tranquility. The rooms are incredibly spacious (definitely large by Japanese standards, allowing us to fully open our suitcases), perfect for families! The bathroom features a modern wet/dry separation, which is a great touch. The hotel itself is a beautiful traditional Japanese-style building. Right next door is the popular café, Paper Moon. (Unfortunately, due to our early starts and late finishes with golf, we didn't get a chance to try it. We'll definitely make sure to visit next time!) You can see Mount Fuji right from the doorstep, along with graceful swans! Overall, if you're planning a two-day stay around Mount Fuji, this is absolutely a high-value choice!

Impeccable service from all hotel staff, perfect view of Mount Fuji from our room window, delicious breakfast. In front of the hotel is Lake Kawaguchiko and a wonderful park called Yagisaki.

I don’t have much to say. I just love everything here. Just one thing that I’d personally, as a person who came with only a single pair of sneakers, I would like to have a pair of sandals provided by hotel, that could be used to walk within the camp area or from the room to restroom.

🏨 the ryokan turned out to be much more beautiful than i expected from what i've seen on the pictures here 🗺️ the location is great, and even though we didn't get the room with the lake view, the view was still amazing. there's also a konbini and a few cafés right next to the ryokan, so it was very convenient 🕴️the staff was kind, it was easy to communicate in english 🧖♀️ didn't attend the onsen myself, but my friends told me they liked it ⭐️ taking one star off cause the shower-head was a bit broken and the room wasn't clean enough to my taste
