great location, with Mt.Fuji right outside the window, watching Sunset from the room balcony

only one female toilet

view

no street lights around at night

I like that it was clean and the room was spacious with a good balcony. The price is good too considering the view. The building is a little bit old BUT the aircon and the toilet are updated. Also it was warm there. L

The location was beautiful and the host was lovely

The guest house is attractive mostly due to an exceptional, almost panoramic view of mount Fuji and Yamanaka-ko from the windows and balcony. It is also very close to the waterfront. Powerful AC.

The guest house is quite old with traces of wear and mold here and there. Possibly, it was much better a few years ago. There are also some strange small boxes spread around, possibly against the insects. It was very cold when we arrived. Fortunately, the powerful AC managed to heat up the room after some time. Some simple food-warming and tea facilities are available on the ground floor, but you always need to go there from the upper floors. The pillows were very uncomfortable and gave me a headache for the next day. Overall, the stay was not very comfortable, but the view excused a significant part of the inconvenience.

Nice view of Mount Fuji

The building is in disrepair. At least the toilets are renovated. But there are only two toilets: first floor for men, and second floor for women. If your room is on the third floor, have fun walking up and down stairs when you need to use the toilet in the night. The fluorescent lights turn on with a sensor and blast you with blaring light when you are half asleep.

Kind and helpful staff, both in English and Japanese! Showers and toilet were very clean and comfortable. Amazing Japanese style room with a wonderful view and comfortable futon beds! Will suggest to friends and family visiting Yamanakako for sure!

People is really kindly

The location was perfect to enjoy the scenery of Mt. Fuji. I could see Mt. Fuji with Yamanaka lake during sunset and sunrise from my window. The facilities inside the room was minimum but it didn't really matter. The owner was very nice, he gave us extra service for early check in due to bad weather and also helped us when we got lost. I really appreciate that. Plus they renovated the toilet, now it has washlet.

My travel partner prefer a softer pillow

It's our second time staying here. Felt like home. Our 2-year d daughter enjoyed swimming in the lake every morning. My husband loved relaxing in the veranda.

We didnt see Red Fuji this year. We came Aug 19-24. We saw Red Fuji last year around the first or second week of August.

Owner/staff was very kind and helpful.

Cleanliness of the room.

The owner is so friendly and nice to talk to to. Location is perfect spot and right in front of Mt. Fuji. Definitely will stay again

view

right by the lake, easy for convenience store and bus. Futon was comfortable, staff speaks English. It was the cheapest place in the area

the main problem was it was super cold inside! I went in winter but wearing 3 layers just to go to the toilet is a lot. The hotel is very basic, everything very old, stained bedding etc, there is hot water but no tea/ coffee or cups

When it comes to view very nice

Everything. Honestly very far from the description and photos. Not value for the price. No need to elaborate but to make this short not recommended.

Excellent view of Fuji-San. I will come back.

It is very close to the lake. When you go out of the hotel, you have an amazing view of mount fuji (but horrible view from the window)

The smell in the room was quite bad. It was quite expensive compared to what you can find in kawaguchiko.

Red Fuji was so perfect, can see right through the windows. Can do a lot of activities around. Lake is just right in front of the ryokan. Breakfast was great, super yummy! They also gave us some local snacks which were great too. I think thats because we stayed for 6 nights. The owner was very nice!

Very good and comfortable ryokan with the great view. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

The owner helped with lots of things and gave us recommendations. Mt. Fuji is stunning. There are a lot of things to do around the ryokan, e.g. swan boat, canoeing, hiking, cycling, etc.

Not many restaurants around the area unless you have a car.

Great location, right on the lake with a perfect view of Mt Fuji (weather permitting, of course). Shared bathrooms were very clean. Owner gave me a nice tour of the place and made sure that knew where everything that I needed was. It’s very close to a 7-11 for food.

Walls are a little thin, so you can easily hear other guests come and go.

Best location

Nothing

the host was very kind and gave us suggestions on what to do in the area. Also, the view from the room was exceptional. Great place to stay with a group of friends.

Amazing view or Mt Fuji and a gracious and helpful Host who could guide us in English. Room was big and comfortable .

- host is friendly - peaceful - gorgeous view of lake with fuji at the background like a poster picture - bustop nearby with tourist information centre that goes to shinjuku - cycling shop nearby

Location is far from eating places.

Owner is very nice welcoming person. Speak sufficient English and can give advice about what to do or where to go nearby. Spacious room with traditional tatami and Futon bed. We enjoy the stay.

Overall cleanness is acceptable, building and furniture a bit old. We have not seen air conditioning but was not needed in September.
