Hananoyado Yumefuji

I booked twins room with futons with Mt.Fuji view. You can enjoy in-room onsen and drinkable Mt. Fuji water. And yes a view of Mount Fuji from the room, though some wires may obstruct it. Room accommodates up to four people with twin beds and futons. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Kawaguchiko Station, walk passing Lawson and railway track. Avoid the parking lot route, as it’s much longer.

The view of Mount Fuji from the room was amazing. the rooms are villas with a small garden, so you can have coffee or tea outside and relax. breakfast came as a picnic basket and was very nice. dinner can be reserved as you enter the room ( the hotel provides you with a list of restaurants and their telephone numbers). also, there is a washing machine and a dryer you can use.

The staff were fantastic, good communication in advance of the stay, very friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. Little touched made the stay welcoming, from our name next to our front door, staff dropped off 2 umbrellas outside our door when the snow started, paths were cleared of snow in the early morning. Very near to the train station. Bath was brilliant especially on a cold day. Options for frozen food from vending machine which could be heated up and drinks in minibar (you have to pay for these if you drink)

The suite we had was spacious with a fantastic view of Mt.Fuji (not every suite has this view). We loved the good sized bathtub which can fit two adults at the same time. Breakfast was delivered to us in the morning, we enjoy the privacy and food, good balance of protein and fibre. Rooms were clean, both bed and futon set were comfortable to sleep on. Also really liked the fact both simple and coloured Yukata (traditional Japanese bath robes) were offered for free.

This was the joint longest stay in our 2 weeks of travelling in Japan. We booked for 3 nights but only stayed for 2 as we climbed Mt Fuji in the middle 24h period. The hotel is 5-10 minute walk from the train station/bus terminal so it is well equipped in terms of public transport, there are a couple dozen eateries within 20 minutes walk as well as convenience stores also within that walking radius. The staff were very helpful and spoke good enough English to answer our queries. The breakfast provided was a charming basked with fruit, rice and fish, miso soup etc. that was delivered on the mornings that we specified either at 7:30 or 8:30. The 'room' which was more like a small holiday let chalet was equipped with a doorbell camera so you could see who was at the door which was a lovely touch. The traditional decor was infused with some more modern finishing touches i.e. well equipped kitchen, TV and western style beds. The view from the outdoor area to the rear would have been spectacular had the weather been on our side with an undisrupted view of Mt Fuji (assuming the clouds aren't in the way like they were for our stay).
