I looked for a long time on the Internet and finally decided to book this one. I saw many people saying that the hotel near Mount Fuji is very close to Mount Fuji. I wanted to see the reflection of Mount Fuji and the private bath, but I couldn't book a private bath room. However, this room did not disappoint me. I also found that the subdivided flats are all on the lowest floor. We live a little higher and have a better view. It also has a balcony which is very comfortable. I booked a one-stop service with breakfast in the lobby and dinner in the room.
Our check-in was slow, and we discovered that from 3 or 4 to 6:30, we could drink beer, liquor, red wine, white wine, etc. in the lobby.
We celebrated our anniversary and they gave us a bottle of red wine. Can be opened for meal time or taken away! We will drink it when we get it back home! Because we planned to have two meals with Japanese cuisine that day, we bought some sake to go with it!
To be honest, the dinner was not a big surprise, just so-so. I didn’t think the food was very tasty, but the sashimi was fresh. The meat is not very tasty. He eats pork, and the beef is just so-so, not teppanyaki, shabu shabu, or sukiyaki. He knew I didn't eat pork and had contacted me before, but he said he really couldn't change it for me. However, his attitude and service were really very good. If I were to simply comment on his dinner, it was really ordinary. Can be better! Because their hotel's environment and service are all very good, it would be perfect if the food quality could be better.
There are two trial rooms in the hotel that need to be reserved and charged. It costs 3300 yen for 50 minutes. There are two trial rooms on the 3rd floor, but they are time-limited. You can't pay more and ask for two hours because they are basically fully booked. When we checked in, they only had the morning time left. There are only three hours in the morning, and we can only have breakfast at the slowest time, which is 8:30. But they were very good to give us an extra half hour early for our trial time. As a result, we were very satisfied and could get up in the morning to enjoy the hot spring and have breakfast.
I have to mention that its private hot spring room is really nice. Once you enter, there is a space where you can change clothes and sit down, and then push it open to reveal a semi-open hot spring area. There were two small beers, two bottles of apple juice and two bottles of water in the room, all free of charge. The apple juice was delicious. There is also a bathing area next to the hot spring.
All in all, I am really satisfied with this hotel overall. I might stay here for two more days to be more comfortable.
Really can't fail to mention that it was perfect to see Mt Fuji with no obstruction.
There is also a place outside the breakfast lobby where you can soak your feet in a foot bath. It is really first-class to hold a cup of coffee or tea and look at the scenery of Mount Fuji. There are parking spaces at the door. Looking back, they rushed out as soon as I drove in, as if they knew our names. It's really too enthusiastic. The service is really good and polite. These are the aspects I admire most about Japan. 
Thanks again to everyone who worked on this day. Thank you for making our day a joyful one.
