Ξενοδοχεία Romantic σε Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

Seriously, just for the shuttle bus service alone, this hotel is an absolute game-changer. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Mount Fuji. First off, we traveled from Atami to Mount Fuji, and we booked the hotel's shuttle bus from Mishima Station to the Lake Kawaguchiko hotel. This transport saved us so much time and money getting to Mount Fuji. Then, the hotel also provides a shuttle to Kawaguchiko Station (a very important transport hub). The breakfast was decent, but considering the hotel's price, it was more than satisfactory. Plus, they offer seating in the lobby where you can eat food bought from outside. If you get thirsty, there's a water dispenser, and their disposable toiletries are comprehensive – the brand is Pola, the same as their shampoo and body wash, which is a very good brand in Japan. It's rare to find such service in a 3-star hotel.

Hotel is incredibly cool! Located quite far from Kawaguchico station, but I would recommend to take a walk to it - the way takes about 25-30 minutes and it is very relaxing with fantastic views of Fuji. For the way back, if it’s needed, after check out you can take a free transfer bus to the station. We took a room in traditional style, and it is amazing experience! Kaiseki supper and breakfast are exciting, service is excellent! Public bath is not tattoo friendly, so we couldn’t use it, but we booked private bath while checking in and it was a great experience as well. Hotel has an observation roof where you can see both Fuji and Kawaguchiko lake. I wish we have stayed for longer, but had not much time and booked only one night.

Loved it! The only downside was that our pick-up got delayed due to heavy snow, and they couldn't pick us up after 6 PM. We stood outside in sub-zero temperatures for half an hour, and had to pay 6,000 yen for a private car. Other than that, the scenery, environment, and hot springs were fantastic. The complimentary drinks available at all times and the ramen served in the evening were very thoughtful touches.

Shuttle was super convenient and staff was amazing. I would definitely stay here again if I were to come back. Breakfast was delicious. Make sure you book and include breakfast with your stay. Most places were a tad far walking. And some places opened after 11am Id give service and staff 5/5 they made us feel welcomed and were so kind and professional. Room had a decent size to it. Bed was comfortable Picture shown here was at the Lobby rest area. We were able to get a glimpse of Mount Fuji on the morning we were checking out.
