Diese gepflegte Hotel kommt aus einer anderen Zeit (wenn ich es richtig verstanden habe, ist es das erste Hotel dort am See) und es war wundervoll dort übernachten zu können. Wir hatten ein japanisches Zimmer, welches sehr geräumig war mit klassischen Futon Betten und einer kleiner Sitzecke am Fenster und einem großen Tisch in der Zimmermitte. Alles stilvoll und stimmig eingerichtet.
Das Hotel liegt an der Hauptstrasse am See, etwas entfernt vom Bahnhof, ist aber zu Fuß noch einigermaßen erreichbar. Im Notfall gibt es aber auch einen kostenlosen Shuttle Service. Das Hotel hat sogar eine Aussichtsplattform mit Ausblick auf den Mt Fuji, der aber leider zum Teil durch das Nachbarhotel zugebaut wurde. Ansonsten haben die Zimmer meist Seeblick ohne Mt. Fuji.
Das Frühstück war großartig, schon fast ein Brunch mit vielen japanischen Köstlichkeiten. Unbedingt mitbuchen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
nichts, außer das wir gerne länger geblieben wären

People were so nice and accomodative, facilities were super clean, well maintained, location is well placed and connectivity to city and other touristic places were walkable. View from room window was amazing.
Breakfast could have been included in the room price and international varieties.

Great breakfast, lovely staff, laundry facilities very helpful, great location and great value for money.
The décor and finishes are now looking rather tired but it didn't spoil our stay

De locatie is dichtbij het Kawaguchiko Station. De kamer was erg ruim met twee grote bedden. We hebben heerlijk geslapen nadat we terugkwamen van Fujisan.
De kamer was niet helemaal schoon; veel vlekken en plekjes op de muren en het tapijt.

The staff were extremely helpful, welcoming and friendly. The breakfast were very traditional and we loved the experience of the breakfast. The staff on for breakfast were extremely attentive and friendly. The traditional rooms were a terrific experience. The breathtaking views, of Mount Fuji, from the hotel, were beyond my expectations.
I would have liked a more comfortable lounge chair in the room.

地理位置还行,也没看到富士山
员工年纪大,写的邮件没有回复过,做事一板一眼,而且温泉关了也没有提前通知,要退款退不了,结果到了富士山也没有泡到温泉,体验度极差

部屋からの景色がとてもよかったです!
河口湖が窓から見えて、夜景も朝の景色も最高でした!
屋根裏部屋風の展望台からは富士山がとても近く見えました。
夕食は付いてなかったのですが、フロントで聞いたら近くのレストランなどを地図でとても丁寧に教えていただけました。
朝食はボリューミーで、名物のほうとうもいただけてお腹いっぱいになりました。
チェックアウトの時に無料の珈琲も眺めのいいラウンジでいただけました。
スタッフの方々も皆さん親切で気持ちのいい対応でした。
大浴場からは富士山が見えるのですが、女風呂は目隠しのフィルムが貼ってあるので、湯船に浸かりながら富士山を眺めるというわけにはいきませんが、雄大な富士山を広い窓からきれいに見られます。
建物が全体的に古く天井や出窓の板張りが剥がれかけたりしているので、そう言ったことが気になるかたにはおすすめできませんが、建物の作りや調度品はただ古いというよりアンティークといった感じでそう言った雰囲気が好きな私にはよかったです。
Barがあるらしかったのでずが、コロナの影響か営業しておらず残念でした。

Spacious rooms and lovely Japanese breakfast. Very helpful front desk staff. Spa/Onsen on top floor with lake view.
Little old property!

Good location and environment
Impolite senior staff's services, very old and not clean cottage, fewer amenities, not value in money. In detail, we got very poor staff's services as we've never met before. The staff expressed his anger and mad to my family, and broke into the cottage once I asked for some amenities.
4.0
The room had a great view of the lake and the Onsen had a great view of Mt Fuji. Both great factors for the hotel.
3pm Check-ins and that the hotel bus service only runs from the station in the morning and afternoon!

非常精致的早餐,配以绝美的风景。酒店保存得非常好,有历史感而不失现代舒适感,服务温馨而热情。无论是温泉,还是咖啡吧,都留下了非常珍贵的记忆。值得再次入住。非常难得的好酒店。并且性价比非常不错。交通也方便,酒店提供免费接送服务。
没有不满意的地方,谢谢。

The location was amazing. Waking up see Mount Fuji out our window was great. Lake Kawaguchi is a beautiful place to visit with so much to see. The hotel is lovely even though it is showing its age. The breakfast is wonderful and the ladies serving were very helpful.
Could use a paint job in a few places.

Wir waren 3 Nächte hier, und wir sind klar gekommen.
Allerdings waren wir davon einen Tage (+ 1 Nacht) unterwegs (auf dem Fuji-san)
Das Hotel hat ein gewisses Flair, mit schöner Lage am See - doch leider, leider ist schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen.
Schade, schade - das Hotel hätte so viel Potenzial, die Bibliothek z.B. ist sehr schön.
Aber auch das Personal war soweit sehr freundlich, obwohl wir hier einen Mitarbeiter überzeugen mussten, unser Gepäck (vor 15 Uhr) auf das schon bezugsbereite Zimmer ! stellen zu dürfen, da ein abschliessbarer Bereich fehlte und wir nicht die ganze Zeit (2 h) im Foyer warten wollten.
Im Hotel gab selbst es kein Frühstück, doch es gibt Möglichkeiten in der Nähe (sehr gut "Le Pain de Daniel").
Sehr gut geklappt hat der Shuttle zum Bahnhof, hier war das personal sehr flexibel.
Für einen Besuch des Onsen (nicht schlecht aber doch etwas lieblos) gab es wie oft eine extra Bekleidung (immer frisch)
Das Hotel ist schon sehr abgewohnt, hier wurde versäumt rechtzeitig zu renovieren.
Der Flur zum Zimmer sieht gerade so aus, als würde hier gerade modernisiert - schmutzig, faltig und stellenweise abgelöst. In unserem Zimmer gab es so gut wie keine Kante an den Möbeln, die nicht in irgendeiner Form malträtiert war.
Platz war auch nicht viel, vor allem fehlte Platz zum Aufhängen / Ablegen von Kleidungsstücken. Auch das Bad entsprach nicht gerade dem, was wir sonst so in Japan erlebten.
Mobiliar, Tapete und Fliesen stammen aus den 60 / 70er Jahren, so scheint es.
Wie gesagt, schade eigentlich, das Hotel gäbe so viel mehr her, das kann man regelrecht spüren.

Lovely staff, who welcomed us very warm. always wanted to help us. The view on the sea is beautiful and we also had the Mountain View. I can recommend everyone to book the Japanese room. This is the real experience. We loved it and we could calm down finally.☺️ The room was big enough.
4.0
The hotel is excellent. It has an old feeling (in a good way), and it is perfectly located just at one side of the lake. It is very calm, and I had the fortune to have a view to Mt Fuji from my window. Also, it has an observatory in the tower where you can take pictures from all around.
There are some areas that require some maintenance, like the movies room, and the piano in the 2nd floor hall.

位置好,车站步行1公里,酒店位于安静地区,风景优美,但是离超市不远,老式酒店,设施虽然旧一点,但符合我们的审美,四楼有个大澡堂,三楼餐厅古色古香,早餐是日式的,精致,但是胃口大的人可能吃不饱。
最好有晚餐(点菜的那种)

A equipe é muito acolhedora. O senhor da recepção falava muito bem inglês, me ajudou a despachar minha mala pra Kyoto, e também me ajudou a conseguir um ônibus para Mishima. Além disso a acomodação tem uma linda vista para o lago, onsen com vista pro Monte Fuji e um ar de tradicional incrível. O café da manhã também é maravilhoso.
A acomodação é antiga e até aí não tem problema, mas no meu quarto tinha teia de aranha na janela e o exaustor do banheiro estava IMUNDO, bem nojento. O cheiro de fechado também é evidente no começo, mas depois vc se acostuma (mas pode ser problema pra quem tem rinite). Além disso, não há placa de “não perturbe” e quando passei o dia todo no quarto, o pessoal da limpeza insistia em querer entrar, sendo que eu não queria.

Although the hotel needs some updating, our experience here was wonderful. Quiet, clean, good location, great breakfast, beautiful onsen. The staff was A-1! 2Next time we would stay longer
Like I said the hotel needs some updating, paint, carpets, etc. Also the upstairs bar area could be better.

The Hotel is situated in an ideal location overlooking the lake. It is a historic hotel and I liked the feel of faded splendour prevalent in the place. Bike hire is nearby and we would recommend hiring electric bikes to cycle round lake Kawaguchiko. The bike offers its own non-electric bikes but we didn´t try them. Don´t go further on your bike to attempt Saiko Lake as the road here is not safe for cyclists. The shuttle bus however offers a good service to visit the sites at Lake Saiko. We had hoped to swim in the Lake but apparently this is forbidden. I suspect it is because about half of the Japanese population can´t swim and it is easier just to stop everybody going into the water. We had a paddle (probably also against the rules) and the water was very warm, and would have been lovely for swimming. The Onsen in the Hotel ...at lest on the men´s side is superb with a stunning panoramic view over the lake and Mount Fuji. The ladies side is screened, presumably for modesty and sadly the views are obscured.

The location, the authenticity , the tatami mattress, pillow, blanket are are world class. I like the vintage feel and the service of the staff. I will return.
I had to leave the hotel for my Japan adventure.

The gentleman at the reception did everything he could to make our stay better and helped us send our luggage to another destination.
Honestly, it is not a 3 star hotel as it may have been in the 70s or when it was built. The equipment is really outdated, beds are so old they squeak with every move, the pillows are very uncomfortable, the bathroom was not clean and did not have the standard Japanese toilet. The water in the spa was barely warm. The breakfast is average, you can get better in many places in Japan. Considering all the above it was quite overpriced. Unfortunately a very disappointing experience, except for the receptionist who was very professional and pleasant.

The view from the bath of Mt fuji in the morning is really good, however due to privacy, the lower part of the windows are opaque so you cant see the Mt if you're in the water, you got to be standing.
Staff was so nice, even gave us a ride to the station on their way back.

Location is good as near Kawaguchiko Lake. Room can see bit of Mt. Fuji and Japanese breakfast is good. In house Onsen is a good experience.

The service was really great. Everyone in the hotel was very nice and helpful. They are able to send a car to the bus station which was very helpful. They also drove us back there early, which was amazing! The view was lovely of the lake from our room and it was in a great location!
My only complaint is the onsen. The view would have been lovely and just like the picture, but it seems they put up privacy screens after taking the picture on their site. So when I went, I found out it blocks the entire view from the bath. I would suggest a one-way privacy screen, so we can see out, but people can't see in.

Breakfast was great! The Japanese room was spacious with lake view. The room with western-style beds had Mount Fuji view. We were very happy with everything. The onsen was great.

4.0
The hotel is very authentic and full of history, could do some more maintenance and replacement to uplift customers’ experience. Room is very spacious and has a great view of the lake. The best part is the onsen which is available from 3pm to 10am next day :)
