Best Fuji View from the room. The room was just nice to fit 2 people with 2 luggage. Hotel breakfast at level 4 also provided the best Fuji View. There are multiple selections at their Japanese buffet breakfast too. The hotel does provide complimentary access to the Onsen next to the hotel. If you drive to the Hotel, can get a complimentary parking ticket from Front Desk. Overall I have enjoyed my stay.
The location was scenic as we could see both the lake and Mount Fuji clearly. The private Onsen had amazing view!
Service was excellent and buffet was great with lots of choices. The steak was very nice!
Would recommend this hotel as had a lovely time!
It is a resort tucked away from the busy Kawaguchiko station area, yet convenient to go to the station for sightseeing buses thanks for the hotel shuttle bus. Please check the shuttle schedule on the hotel website. We really enjoyed the beautiful hotel garden and trails by the lake outside the hotel. You can also rent bikes from the hotel with minimal fees and ride around the lake. The buffet breakfast has variety of both Japanese and western options. We had dinner in the hotel too since there is no restaurants in the vicinity. The food is fine but pricey. The onsen is nice. I am not sure it is hot springs water though. Overall it is a very nice hotel and we had a relaxing day here.
Nice Fujisan view from the room. The room is very spacious, can easily fit in a family of 5. The staff service is the best of all. Can rent yukata for free, the wine lounge is perfect, wonderful matcha tea time experience with very relaxing river flow. Also, the taiko performance is free and can win prizes in the bingo game. Absolutely worth the price if you can fully enjoy all the time at the hotel.
Very good breakfast both variety and taste. Nice onsen, free ramen at night, free ice cream. Need to pay for parking fee. A bit far from the shopping mall and restaurants.
Location is perfect for people with cars!!! There's plenty of food options down the road including McDonald's KFC, daiso just next door, convenience stores across the road, petrol station at the traffic junction, and of course Mount Fuji view from the hotel room!!! Mount Fuji view is not easy to catch during winter season as the sky gets misty easily, so being able to view Mount Fuji in the morning upon waking up is just perfect.
Complimentary onsen for hotel guests too, which is payable for public (see picture for price list).
Hotel also provides fresh towels and amenities set every morning by hanging a bag on your door, which I think is rare for Japan hotels as most of them advocate ”save the earth” so no change of daily linens.
Only slight issue is that the hotel is quite dated, which can be seen from the carpet stains along the walkway and walls etc. But still functional so not a major problem to us!
Lovely property in a great location. You’re slightly more off of the beaten track but the tourist bus stop is right out front of the hotel. Great being right by the lake. Amazing room, massive for just me. There’s no shower in the room just a toilet but the onsen was lovely and you can shower in there. Older property also be aware those with accessibility needs the hotel is up quite a steep slope/numerous stairs and then when inside there’s no lift so I had to carry my luggage up and anyone with mobility issues would struggle as I believe all the rooms are on the first floor and that’s after tackling the way up to the hotel. Staff were lovely, can’t comment on dinner or breakfast but a great traditional ryokan stay.
Location/Transportation: It is within walking distance from Kawaguchiko Station, and the hotel provides pick-up service.
Lobby/Front Desk: Old-school waiters, polite to guests. Very quiet.
Room: The main building was once the residence of the emperor, and is now used as a restaurant and entertainment venue. Accommodation in the new building, the room is ordinary, the bed is a spring bed, which is relatively soft.
Hygiene: Clean. The default room is cleaned daily.
Breakfast: Set meal, I like it very much. There are two alcohol stoves. Different every day.
Facilities: There is a hot spring on the 4th floor of the new building, and the conditions are average. The pavilion on the 4th floor of the main building is an observation deck, where you can see the scenery of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi.
Enjoyed our stay at Bessho Sasa. The view of Mount Fuji is beyond amazing especially from the rooftop open air onsen area. The dinner provided in the half board package is a full nine course dinner Japanese cuisine menu which is perfect if you are a Japanese cuisine fan like me. The room was smaller than I expected, however it was sufficient for the three of us with each of us having our own very comfortable single bed to sleep in. Complete amenities and the service is excellent. Would definitely go back there again.
I used this when I lost my way with my friends.
Cleanliness and response are not bad ☺️
There are many breakfast buffets and it is delicious.
Above all, the bath feels good.
(especially wine bath and Hinoki bath are recommended)
It is a hotel that I want to use again personally 😊
It's a waste to have inconvenient access 😅
Very Good

OOnsiriJapanese 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.

GGuest UserFor any Yuru Camp anime fans, if you also are interested in an Onsen experience this is the perfect place. The facilities and staff are amazing! I couldn't believe the size of my room, especially after coming from a business hotel in Tokyo. I thought Deluxe Twin was just the ”deluxe” version of a standard single twin size bed room instead of two twin beds but there are no complaints.
Given it's more remote location I was expecting zero English but I was so surprised at how well some of the staff spoke English and had print outs for English speakers. I have to shout out two staff members, Nozomi and Joon Bae's english combined with my limited and grammatically atrocious Japanese they went above and beyond making me understand how everything worked as well as assisting me with my ventures outside of the onsen. They have two e-bikes available for rent which I rode to the next station on the minobu line so I could visit the school that was used in the anime as well as get a taxi to take me to Lake Shibere, from episodes 6 and 7 of season one.
It was my first time in Japan, being the only foreigner at the hotel for the two full days, I only visited the baths once however the facilities are amazing and I plan on going back to use the Onsen more.
GGuest UserThe world oldest Ryokan and hotel is definitely worth the title. We arrived at a much later timing, 3 hours after our check-in to be precise because of detour and traffic conditions. Location wise is definitely not the easiest to reach with other transports beside driving there. However we give 5 stars because we don't it that much of a hassle to us. In terms of service, it's extremely excellent. When we arrived, we will greeted by the staffs, luggage being handled and bring to our room for us. Even though we were late for our dinner (last timing 6.30pm), the staffs was still very accommodating and arrange it for us at 6.45pm while explaining to us the facilities, rules and regulation of the place and etc. While having the dinner and breakfast, the staffs will explain each of the various dishes before we begin eating and will leave the room after explanation in order to let us enjoy. The onsen was great and definitely a must try. Everything about this place is so perfect that we will definitely go back a second time with 2 days in a row to fully enjoy and relax.
GGuest UserI was quite worried because some of the recent reviews were disappointing, but although there were quite a lot of people, we didn't have to queue for meals, and we were able to relax in the hot springs, which became a very fond memory. The kids also had a lot of fun with the playground equipment in the basement and said they wanted to go back again. However, there was a bit of a queue after we finished eating, so I think it might be better to dine earlier. The food was very delicious. It's a very good inn and I recommend it.

LLMOOLMMy second stay with them in 2 years! Once you arrive at Kawaguchiko station, head to tourist information centre to get them to call the ryokan to pick you up. The ride is 5mins! The walk itself is about 10mins but hilly. You wouldnt want to do that with luggages in tow.
The room is very clean and has great view of Lake Kawaguchiko. Our stay came with breakfast and dinner. Dinner was great! Most items were delicious. Breakfast is buffet style and pretty average.
Their private and female onsen have views of mt Fuji!
