🌸 Hotel Mifujien – A Front Row Seat to Mt. Fuji’s Majesty
If you’re looking for unparalleled views of Mt. Fuji, look no further than Hotel Mifujien. Nestled right beside Lake Kawaguchiko, this hotel offers one of the most photogenic and soul-soothing panoramas of Japan’s most iconic peak.
🗻 The View: Absolutely Breathtaking
The highlight of our stay was the view — and it’s no exaggeration. Whether it’s early morning when the summit catches the first rays of sunlight, or during a serene sunset, the unobstructed view of Mount Fuji reflected in Lake Kawaguchiko is simply unforgettable. I woke up early just to capture a time-lapse of the sunrise, and it was worth every second of lost sleep. We also filmed a sunset time-lapse, and again, Fuji didn’t disappoint.
⸻
🚶♂️ Getting There: Worth the Scenic Walk
Although the hotel offers a shuttle bus pickup service, we chose to walk from Kawaguchiko Station — and it was a delightful decision. The 20–30 minute stroll is scenic and peaceful. We even stopped by a local supermarket for some ice cream while enjoying views of Mt. Fuji in the background. It was an experience that made us feel like locals soaking in a perfect day.
⸻
🛏 Tatami Rooms: Authentic and Comfortable
The tatami-style room was clean, spacious, and gave us a deeply authentic Japanese lodging experience. Sliding doors, futon beds, and traditional touches made our stay both relaxing and culturally immersive.
⸻
♨️ Hot Springs: Cozy, Not Crowded
The hotel features both indoor and outdoor onsen (hot springs). While not particularly large, they are a nice bonus to unwind after a day of exploring. Since they only accommodate a few people at a time, it’s best to avoid peak hours.
⸻
🍱 Meals: Included and Delicious
Our stay included both breakfast and dinner, and the food was outstanding. A beautifully arranged kaiseki-style dinner showcased seasonal ingredients, fresh sashimi, grilled seafood, and hot pots. Breakfast was equally satisfying with a variety of small dishes and a perfectly cooked grilled fish. Everything was crafted with care and served with hospitality.
⸻
📝 Suggestions:
• Bring a tripod if you’re planning to do photography or time-lapses — the view is too good not to capture properly.
• Try both the indoor and outdoor onsen during quiet hours to fully enjoy the experience.
• Use the shuttle service if you’re carrying large luggage, as the walk (while scenic) do take around 30 minutes.
⸻
⭐ Final Verdict: 9/10
Hotel Mifujien is all about the view — and it delivers. Combine that with great meals, clean traditional rooms, and hot springs, and you have the perfect base to enjoy Mt. Fuji in all its glory.

Japanese style hotel. A bit old and outdated but I think it's charming with Tatami, futon and closet like where Doraemon sleep.
If you arrive at station after 3 pm you can call hotel for free pick up service, just 10-15 mins then they're there.
We've got a room at 10th floor so bit of a walk from main building to our room but it's fine there, great view of Fuji and lake.
Room were nice in Japanese style like I ever read in manga.
Our rate were breakfast and dinner included. Then they arranged for you as the time you prefer. Excellent food and super good service! Even they speak 99% only Japanese but service is extraordinary.
Don't miss the onsen too, cool experience to take a bath with a view.
They also have shuttle service to train station , just ask reception ,free of charge.

The hotel does see the view of mount Fuji. The hotel is a bit old, and required change of elevator (x3) before getting to the top floor. However, overall the hotel is clean, with free shuttle 3 times/day to the train station.

My stay at Hotel Mifujien in Japan was absolutely delightful. The highlight was the stunning view of Mount Fuji from my room, which created a serene and unforgettable experience. The traditional Japanese-style room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, offering a perfect blend of comfort and cultural authenticity. The onsen facilities were exceptional, providing a relaxing soak with breathtaking scenery. The staff were warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. I highly recommend Hotel Mifujien for anyone seeking a peaceful and memorable getaway.

The hotel is ideally situated on the shores of Lake Kawaguchi, offering stunning, panoramic views of Mount Fuji. Whether you’re waking up to the sight of the mountain at sunrise or enjoying a peaceful evening by the lake, the location couldn’t be better. It’s also close to Kawaguchiko Station (about a 10-minute drive or bus ride)

It is probably the time to renovate the hotel as most of the areas are old. 
We booked three rooms. The receptionist was helpful but she took a bit long for the check-in procedure. The tatami room was pretty good except the toilet was super small.
The dinner was included. We went to the dining room on time and the food was prepared. The food was ok. If the staff could have carry smile then it would be great.

bear in mind this is a very very old hotel, the design is like in the 80s. we didn't enjoy futon bed on our first night, and the hotel was kind enough to provide us a bed divan (i'm not sure what is the proper term to that) on our second stay. very beautiful scene and we were lucky to have a clear view of mount fuji every morning! they also have onsen on the 7th floor, it'd be great if they do clean the windows so we can enjoy the view of fuji while soaking in the onsen.

You may store your luggage at the lobby before and after check in.
They provide shuttle service to Kawaguchiko station at checkout.
Check in was normal, room was spacious for 4. Onsen facilities were decent.
Breakfast and dinner were great! Staff were really friendly.

Nice ryokan hotel. It might look old but still nice and clean and spacious. We enjoyed the view of Fuji san from every rooms we’ve booked. Breakfast were delicious and not the same each day. There’s a restaurant near by that we walked to for dinner.
