Fuji Yamanakako Hotel

A gem of a hotel close to the lakeshore, the hotel was spotless and our first experience of ryokan, playing out our beds and enjoying the simplicity. A konbini and lots of restaurants meant great choice for food (including ice-cream!), the 15km route around the lake was good for a bike ride (bikes and scooters to hire from the hotel). The onsen was very relaxing. Plenty of parking and the staff were very helpful, friendly and fun - a great location all round.

Room was spacious and clean, they give you a bag when you check in and you grab all the amenities you need. Near Yamanakako and bus station barely a 2 min walk. The staff were very friendly and helpful as well! For foreigners they have qr codes of videos of how to set up a futon and how to eat Chazuke for breakfast which I found very helpful!

The staff provided courteous service.

Nice quiet place, traditional Japanese room in which you pull out the futon and blankets out for each person to sleep on the floor. They provided bathrobes, slippers and all the usual amenities. It was fun for the family to experience a traditional Japanese hotel room. They got a kick out of moving the furniture around and throwing down the futons. Good location as it's right across from the lake with a 7-11 store within a few mins walk. I recommend this place for families.
