Staff were exceptionally helpful. Took our luggage up the stairs and were waiting for us when we arrived. Welcomed warmly by the manager and once checked in felt like home away from home! We didn’t do kayaking but available if you intend to do so. Private baths or outside baths available which we took advantage of. Possibly for some guests may find the property a bit older but was adequate for what we wanted. View you get makes up for it. I’d certainly return to this place if I’m ever in Fuji-san area again.

Super friendly staff and helpful. Owner came and greeted us himself upon checking in. Hotel older and dated however family ran and super clean. It was a great experience at a traditional ryokan. Onsen was great and open til 8 AM. Location is far from town, but accessible by local bus. Totally worth the trek, great scenery even tho we missed Mt Fuji due to fog. I guess it gives us a reason to come back. 😊

Beautiful views with amazing hospitality. Family run and the owner is quite involved and very kind, he chatted with us three times during our one night stay (check in/out and restaurant). Grandchildren playing and helping out gives this hotel a wonderful homey summer camp feel, as do the available amenities (table tennis, rooftop views, indoor + outdoor onsens) and watercraft rentals (saw paddleboards and kayaks). We stayed the night before climbing Fuji and found the rooms to be very spacious and the food filling. Note that restaurants/activities outside the hotel are limited as this area is remote. Bus access direct to the hotel is very convenient, although the bus ride can be long depending where you come from. We were greeted immediately upon bus arrival and helped to check in and out to catch the morning bus by wonderful staff and owners. Hotel is stair-based, not wheelchair friendly, was fine with us but important to know. Very foreigner friendly (have reasonable expectations as guests). For foreign tourists, a few notes: Shoji Lake is a very remote, mountainous area. Bugs exist. Japan does not do pest control (killing) in the way Americans are used to--if you're not prepared for that, perhaps stick to the cities. You need to take the bus to get here, it is a long ride from Shin-Fuji etc. and you must have cash or IC card. The bus only runs a few times a day, PLAN AHEAD. This experience was wonderful for us and well worth the trip!

I’d give it a 10/5 if I could. The owner was the friendliest person ever. As soon as we got there he took a picture of us in front of Fuji, offered us a drink in the lobby was very hands on with helping operations. They even had announcements on the intercom when Fuji came out of the clouds. Out of all the places we stayed while in Japan this one was my absolute favourite.

The hotel is a little older but very very clean. The rooms have a great view of Mt. Fuji. She was a bit shy during our short stay but we did manage to get a glimpse of her from our room. This place does not have an elevator but staff will carry your bags to your room for you. The standout here is the staff who were so friendly and welcoming compared to the bigger fancy hotels. We would stay here again just because of the lovely staff.

Great Traditional Experience

I was here very briefly but wanted to share my thoughts on this stay. It is always impressive when the owner of a hotel takes the time to come out and greet you personally on your arrival. The friendly staff, the amazing view (if you are lucky) and traditional Japanese room experience made this a memorable stay. I wish I was able to stay longer. Highly recommended.

This was the most stunning property and run by the most attentive, respectful, welcoming, and warm staff for our stay. We were only here for one night but wished we were here longer. The buses to get to the hotel only stop there a few times a day but this meant the owner knew when guests would arrive and was there to welcome each and everyone of us to the hotel. The moment we jumped off the bus we were greeted and our bags taken inside so himself and his staff could take the most incredible photos of us with the mountain in the background. We were seated in the small sitting area off the reception and given tea or coffee while they checked other guests in so we didn’t have to wait in line. After being checked in they took our bags up to our room for us. We had a beautiful traditional room with the best view. The comfiest room and best sleep of our trip and when we left in the morning and checked out, waiting for our bus, the owner came around once again to take photos one last time and saw us off. While the bus took a while he brought everyone cups of green tea. Could not recommend a hotel more.

Beautiful view of Mount Fuji for the hotel room and rooftop. Very unique (traditional Japanese style). Far from other tourist attractions but the bus stop is right outside the hotel, so that was super convenient. The view makes it worth it.
