Ryokan in Minamitsuru District

"Clean rooms and great value , free transfer to and from Kawaguchi station , place to eat close early . Biggest problem I had was the bed was super hard . I would not come here again unless I specified that I want softer mattress "

"I had a wonderful stay at La Vista Hotel. It’s a beautifully designed hotel with a unique character that really stands out. The atmosphere was incredibly comfortable and relaxing, making it easy to fully enjoy the experience. If I visit Lake Kawaguchi again, I would definitely choose to stay here again."

"WiFi was not working all the time, I was on the first floor level but loved the hotel and the hot spring "

"Really enjoyed my stay and will stay again the next time I visit!"

"Breakfast at the Lakeland Hotel Mizunosato was outstanding. One day we got a multicourse Japanese breakfast, and the other day a western one. Both were excellent, but the Japanese breakfast was amazing, esepcially since it was something we were not anticipating. I and my wife are foodies and extremely adventurous omnivores. Discounting buffet breakfasts in five-star hotels, where just the sheer variety overwhelms, we concurred that we had never had breakfast at any hotel anywhere in the world as good as what the Lakeland offered — in spread, quality, taste, and presentation. A solid 10/10. The rooms are very spacious, the interiors are reminiscent of early Japanese modern architecture, the staff is very professional and courteous. Especially notable is the traditional Japanese living space with tatami mats and washi walls, perfect for tea and relaxation. Our room had an unencumbered view of Lake Kawaguchiko to boot. We didn't use the public bath for lack of time, but hope to on another visit."

"Staff members were helpful. We had a good stay! "

"We were really excited to stay at HANZ Outdoor Resort, but the experience was a major disappointment. Communication was poor from the start. We were told we needed a local number for pickup, but when we called from the bus station using one, the staff said they didn’t speak English and refused to pick us up without any clear explanation. We had to take a taxi instead. There were also several unclear and misleading policies. We were told we could chop wood, but no one showed us where to do it or provided tools. After a small initial batch, we were told we’d be charged for additional pre-cut wood. The biggest issue is that outside food is not allowed at all, forcing you to either arrive before 7 PM (when the lobby closes) or pay ¥4400 per person for a very underwhelming meal you have to grill yourself. The villa didn’t match what we booked on Expedia. We paid for a full mountain view but didn’t receive it, and staff gave inconsistent explanations (“not functioning,” then “reserved for tomorrow”). They eventually offered to move us while we were already settled and in the middle of grilling. The layout was inconvenient, with no separate shower, weak water pressure (took 45+ minutes to fill the jacuzzi), an overheated upstairs sleeping area, and very narrow stairs. Cleanliness was also questionable ~ we found long black hairs in the jacuzzi despite having blonde hair. Overall, extremely disappointing for the $650 per night price. Would not recommend."

"The walls are literally paper thin and someone was partying until 4am so we didn’t sleep. You can hear a door close from the other side of the hotel. Wouldn’t recommend if you like sleeping. "

"The hotel is definitely old and in need of Reno’s. We stayed in one of the side buildings, which was incredibly dusty, we ended up sleeping with masks and vick vapour rub every night. Waking up with sore throats and the worst congestion. The beds are horrible, very hard, can feel the springs stabbing you in the back, I woke up the first night at 4am with a horrible migraine from the springs in my back and ended up sleeping on a two seater couch for the remainder of my stay. Asked for an extra pillow, was declined. Breakfast and dinner buffet was good selection and staff was nice to us. "
