Hotel terme a Fujikawaguchiko

Only managed to book 1 out of 2 nights of our stay in the Superior Room and had to book the 2nd night via Japanican (standard room). Both rooms were amazing in terms of size. Superior room’s amenities and furnishings, bathtub etc are more luxurious in comparison but Standard Room is really good enough when you enter to a full view of Mt Fuji at the windows. My view fm the Standard Room was much better compared to the Superior though. Only con at the Standard Room is probably the inability to go out to a balcony to take photos and had to deal with reflections. Hospitality at the front desk was largely good, except a harsh-sounding man whom attended to our bus pickup call request and another night-duty man who can’t speak English and only repeatedly uttered “sorry” and “nonono” when I called to ask for a pillow they missed out. Special mention and thanks to 2 ladies whom attended to us: 1. “AHN” or “ANH” who helped us with check-in to the room, and continued to serve us with helpful suggestions and the sincerest greetings whenever we bump into her in the ryokan. 2. We didn’t get her name. The lady who served us for dinners (16 & 17 Dec) and breakfast (17 Dec) at Room 桃の二. Really patient and tried her best to communicate with us in English for all our requests and questions about the food. For non-adventurous-foodies like us, the provided breakfasts and dinners are a great experience and an eye-opener, but also wasteful on the other hand as we ended up with much things we don’t eat (even after I’ve put in a string of dietary requests prior to check-in). Perhaps having a room-only option for booking would be good.

This lovely hotel (its a bit dated, but everything is clean and very nice) is right on the lake, and very quiet. Its 10 minutes driving distance from the Kawaguchi-Ko bus stand/train station and there is a free hotel shuttle every hour. I would definitely go for rooms with a view - either of the lake, or of Fujisan. We went for rooms with lake view, and very much enjoyed it. The rooms are big and very comfortable, with a desk, an armchair and a sofa. There is also a small balcony, with amazing views of the lake. Its so peaceful, especially in the early morning or during sunset. The hotel is located in a large garden. There is an indoor and lovely outdoor onsen, where you can bath in the warm water whilst seeing bamboo and hearing birds. Breakfast is a good buffet. The restaurant for dinner is rather expensive, so i would recommend eating in one of the few restaurants in the small town.

Stayed for two nights and finally I got a much better sleep for the first time on my 2 week trip! Breakfast was ok, not fantastic-the place seems very deserted with many shops shuttered quite early on and streets dark. The bath was decent but nothing to shout about. Overall a value for money place just don’t expect too much

Konansou era uno dei nostri punti di vista sul nostro recente viaggio in Giappone. Io e mio marito, insieme ai nostri amici, siamo rimasti per due notti. Il personale era così caldo e amichevole, soprattutto Shirai al divano frontale. Lei era incredibilmente paziente e utile quando abbiamo scoperto i nostri biglietti per autobus e treni, hanno un servizio di navetta da e verso la stazione Kawaguchiko, che ha reso molto facile andare in giro con le tasche e la pioggia. (Suggerimento: c'è un telefono pagato alla stazione se dovete chiamarli quando si arrivano... c'è un ordine e il numero di hotel locali postati) Il cibo era sorprendente! Ikeda era il nostro server per la cena in camera, ed era gentile e sapiente in tutti i piatti diversi e come mangiarli. Mi sono buttato via dall’attenzione al dettaglio e alla varietà di cibo. Era bella. È stato il nostro compleanno e abbiamo ricevuto un regalo speciale grazie!! La colazione era un buffet e aveva una grande selezione! Può diventare occupato ma c'è un sacco di posti a sedere.La nostra stanza era enorme e aveva una bella vista sul lago e la sua propria mente privata. Ci piaceva la tranquillità e la posizione, che era facile da camminare. La folla pubblica aveva così tante strutture e anche spazioso, non era sicuro se fossi fortunato, ma ero l'unico lì! Abbiamo anche fatto karaoke, giocare a tennis da tavolo, e faceva il nostro lavaggio. C'è anche un spa a piedi al tetto, dove si trovano viste sul monte Fuji! Tutto quello che ti serve è qui!

Fabulous “destination” hotel…. The food was incredible (either French or Japanese degustation style menu). You could not get a better viewpoint for Mt Fuji. Advice: traditional public onsen so no tattoos but they have private baths too so happy days; a car would be helpful as the taxi service is fairly sparse; if you don’t have a car then book Taka from Native Fuji Tours (he was 10/10)… and pay the extra for a higher floor… we had one with a bath on the balcony… stunning!

For more general details about Fufu Kawaguchiko, please read my review from October 2020... We decided at the last minute to pay a visit to the Fuji Five Lakes area because the weather forecast called for a clear day (and hopefully a clear view of Mt. Fuji.) Thankfully, one room was available, and it was the exact same room as the one we stayed at the first time (Fufu Luxury Premium Suite, Room #408.) It's a top-floor corner suite with a separate bedroom/living room along with an expansive balcony and a free-flowing, open-air Onsen (natural hot springs) bath. As rooms go, it's pure bliss. Modern, tastefully furnished and decorated, bright and airy, and has all of the amenities and features one would expect when staying at a relatively new high-end property. We still feel that Fufu doesn't make the best use of its space - it's a bit busy, and consequently seems a bit less spacious than its specifications suggest (it's officially 136 square meters, although someone we can't help but feel that they're counting the balcony space as part of the overall room size.) It's really less of a ryokan and more of a hotel with ryokan-style elements. Shoes don't need to come off (although you're advised to do so in the guest rooms), they provide ”Samue” (sort of spa pajama/style) outfits rather than the traditional (and albeit more pretty but less comfortable) Yukatas, but still retain some of the common ryokan charms (and a few drawbacks.) The staff are relatively young, hip and ”pretty”, and more casually friendly than the typical traditional ryokan, which is good or bad, depending on your perspective. We enjoyed the high-energy vibe of the place, although we also do enjoy the finesse and quaintness that top traditional ryokans exhibit as well (Asaba is a perfect example of this.) The clientele are also more youthful than most other properties that we've stayed at - this is where the young, wealthy and beautiful go to see and be seen, that's for sure. Again, not necessarily a bad thing, but just a FYI. Not much has changed from our last stay, although I will say that we enjoyed the food offering a bit more this time. We learned that they brought in a new head chef, and while it's not a night-and-day difference, we did notice a quality and creative improvement from last time. A few specialty dishes were once again served, including a unique cheese gratin with Natto (fermented soybeans that is slimy and has a pungent odor) for breakfast - we enjoyed the dish, but not sure how many Westerners can handle Natto, which is a very acquired taste. While we wish there was an option to have meals served in one's own room, we do think that Fufu needs to have more ”ko****su” private dining rooms in the restaurant. They only have a handful of them, and priority goes to large groups or families with small children. When we go to a high-end ryokan, we prefer not to dine in an open, restaurant-style environment. We requested a Ko****su in advance, and were only told we wo

Siamo felici di scegliere questo hotel.La vecchia struttura mostra la sua età, ma è stata conservata bene.Il personale è molto amichevole e piacevole aiutare le persone a colazione molto buona, il letto è molto comodo e rilassato.Questo è un ottimo hotel.Una ricca colazione. Il caffè delizioso è poi gratuito.Anche in un bel bar, se si acquista una carta prepagata alla reception, si può godere di vino di rame.５００ yen.Penso sia molto serio. Ci sono vecchie antiche profume dappertutto. Penso di vivere in un hotel antico.Sono stato curato.Voglio andare di nuovo.

I stayed at the Kogetsu for 2 nights in May and it was an unforgettable experience. Every detail was beautiful and thoughtful. I booked rather late and was not able to book the same room, so the first night I stayed in a Standard Western Style twin w open-air bath; and the second night in a Standard Japanese Modern w open-air bath (Triple). Both were on the 3rd (of 5) floors and both had stunning views of Mt Fuji. Both incorporated both Japanese and Western style. The first room had wood floors throughout and half-shoji screen doors so you could separate the bedroom and dining areas. It also had a small walk-in closet. The outdoor onsen was quite large (could easily fit 4 adults) and the patio was wider than in the Triple room. I posted pics of the Standard Western Style Twin and will post the pics of the Triple separately. In contrast the Triple room was larger and there was a gorgeous daybed (which becomes the 3rd bed) with windows on either side overlooking Mt Fuji. The onsen was a bit smaller (could easily fit 2 adults). The bedroom was carpeted, dining area had tatami-style mats, and hallway had wood floors. There was a wardrobe rather than walk-in closet in this room. Both rooms had a wet area for washing up before the onsen, a separate powder room, and separate toilet room. Honestly, you can’t go wrong - both rooms were gorgeous. I felt lucky to be here. One thing to note is that there is a boat launch beside the ryokan, so my open-air onsen on 3rd floor was not super private (there’s a screen to pull down if you want privacy, but it obscures the view). The 4th/5th floors would have more feeling of privacy. The kaiseki meals were beautifully displayed and delicious. The 2 nights’ menus were different but followed a similar (but not identical) format: 1) Aperitif, 2) Seasonal appetizers, 3) Soup, 4) Sashimi, 5) Main course (hot), 6) Steamed fish, 7) Grilled fish, 8) Palette cleanser, 9) simmered dish, 10) rice dish, and 11) dessert. My nakai, Fumiko-san, was lovely - friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Breakfast was also included - it was half- buffet, with an elegant bento box with appetizers and tamago. It also included delicious tempura, made to order and delivered to your table. The hotel has a happy hour from 2:30-6:30 where a limited selection of tea, coffee, nonalcoholic drinks, beer and wine are free. You can enjoy them on the gorgeous terrace overlooking Mt Fuji with your feet soaking in the footpath (just not in your room). Lastly there are shuttles every morning to Kawaguchiko Station or any of the tourist sights on the way, and the hotel will send a shuttle to pick you up when you are ready to come back. The location of this ryokan could not be better - close to some great museums and on the North shore of the lake, which has the best views (and away from the touristy South shore).

Vivo in una stanza calda lungo la montagna di Fuji East Building.Il tempo unico, dalla sera alla mattina successiva, ho guardato la montagna Fuji e poi ho ripetutamente gonfiato il caldo. (ridere) La qualità del caldo del lago del fiume Huahu è la calda di carbonio neutro, la calda di carbonio e la calda di cloruro di carbonio, e la disinfezione del carbonio attraverso il riscaldamento e il ciclo, compresi i grandi bacini pubblici e i bagni privati.Non è direttamente fuori dalla fonte, ma è ben gestita, compresa la temperatura di lavaggio. Il tempo è caldo.Di solito è come un pasto, ma vivo in hotel 々 alla fine dell'anno 12/29 alla sera, forse perché ci sono molti ospiti, quindi nella sala ristorante del settimo piano, la cena è pietra e la colazione è buffet. Mi aspetto che la carne di vacca di bambù abbia una buona reputazione nel corso, ma a causa della scarsa quantità, mi sento come un gusto.Sono tutti ben preparati, anche se la quantità è scarsa, la qualità e la quantità sono soddisfacenti. Sono rimasto fino alle 11 del mattino, ho lavato un'altra grande piscina pubblica 々, ho lavato tre volte nella piscina della stanza e ho lavato cinque volte.C'è un panno di lavastoviglie e un giardino di roccia aperta davanti alla grande piscina pubblica, dietro c'è una vasta resina di lavastoviglie. Credo che l'impressione cambierà a seconda della tua aspetto di Fuji Mountain, ma sono fortunato, sono 々.Poiché è all'inizio dell'anno, il costo di alloggio è molto elevato, ma sono molto soddisfatto delle camere, del cibo, del bagno, del servizio e dell'ambiente corrispondenti.

Siamo in viaggio guidato e siamo stati fortunati a rimanere a Regina. Era buono in ogni modo - grandi camere, eccellente check-in, doccia calda e comoda letto. Abbiamo avuto una cena giapponese tradizionale e probabilmente è stato il piu' completo (e molto delizioso) pasto che abbiamo avuto finora. Si prega di essere consapevoli che questo hotel è un breve viaggio fuori città, ma ha grandi viste sul monte Fuji.
