HOTEL MYSTAYS Fuji Onsen Resort
Another great stay! We just wished there was a shuttle from the hotel to train station instead taking bus or walking through tiny roads. It could be very bumpy and rainy...

Toyoko Inn Fuji Kawaguchiko Ohashi
Check-in and check-out was very easy. Even though the check-in time is 3pm, the hotel allows you to store your luggage in the lockers. Rooms are clean and location is very convenient to nearby tourist attractions.

Fuji View Hotel
The view to the Mount Fuji from my room (331) was amazing! However, apart from that and helpful staff the hotel is quite run down. Breakfast was very poor, especially options for westerners.

HOSHINOYA Fuji
The best hotel we have stayed. Thoughtful activities and you can’t get a better view of Mount Fuji from your own room 24/7.
