This was a very nice hotel and the location is unbeatable! After spending the day at FujiQ it was lovely spending the night somewhere so comfy and luxurious-feeling. Check in and checkout were super smooth and easy, and it’s also right next to the bus stop for the highway buses. Biggest bathtub I’ve seen in japan!!

This is one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed at. The view of Mount Fuji is absolutely phenomenal from every space in the hotel. The staff are wonderful and helpful and so kind. The building, the room, and the facilities are all perfect. Being able to watch the sunrise and sunset of Mount Fuji from your bed is such a wonderful experience. We were lucky and able to book the private rooftop onsen for our 1 night stay, and it was amazing. The breakfast was great and, of course, also came with an amazing view of Mount Fuji, The free bike rentals and the shuttle were wonderful bonuses.

We only stayed one night, we would have loved to stay longer. The room was beautiful, bright, with a view of Mount Fuji. Everything was very clean and tidy, and the location was excellent, just 2 or 3 blocks from the station. Thank you as well for the keychain you gave us, such a lovely souvenir.

It was definitely exceeded expectation from A to Z. - Pick up from Kawaguchiko station: driver was friendly and punctual. - Check-in: handled seamlessly from the moment we stepped down the mini bus. A dedicated staff walked us through all the facilities before taking us to the room - Activities: * Complimentary tea and snack at the tea house overlooking the beautiful garden was great. * Open air onsen looking directly at the fuji mountain was exceptional, even though it was covered by cloud on my day of visit * Dining in our room (i think 9 course meal) was delivious and luxurious * Room: from bath room to bedroom to dining room to private open air onsen, everything was just perfect Love everything about this place. Wish i stayed longer. Hope i can visit again.

The staff was super friendly, helped us with our luggage to our room, showed us the way to the dining hall, and welcomed and served us so well during our stay. Our room was sooo amazing! We ordered the one with a private onsen, and we did not regret it! The view and the onsen were super worth it. You could see Mount Fuji straight from the sofa corner window, and I recommend waking up for sunrise to see the spectacular morning sun on the mountain! They have everything you need in the hotel, and the complementary drinks are so good too! Not like the usual. After dinner time there is a drum show from really muscular men, then a bingo show (with prizes), and after you could get to the lounge area and hear some live piano music. One of the lounge areas also provides free machine drinks, like beer! There is an open public bath downstairs (so big), massage (didn't try), and kimono rentals. At the rooftop, there is another public bath, but it may vary when and which gender it is available for. But it's REALLY recommended to try/see this, so special front view of the mountain. The garden outside is nice too, you could try the footbath area if you want. Breakfast was great, with many dishes to choose from and super service. The staff are so cute and friendly. One of them started a conversation and even gave us some recommendations, we appreciate that! Not the best with English but we all try to understand each other. They provided free bus rides to the nearest train station and other places for their customers on their way home.

Wonderful spacious room. The western beds were very comfy and everything was clean and modern. There is a comfortable seating area in addition to the table and chairs. Very close to the station. We were kindly allowed an early check-in and to leave our bags on the day of check out. We were able to see Fuji from our tiny balcony -just over the neighbouring Family Mart. Highly recommended, we would return without hesitation!!

The hotel is located 3min car ride away from the Kawaguchiko station. You can call the hotel in advance to book a van for pick up and drop-off at the station. From there, the service is excellent, their staff members are so considerate and the hotel is top notch comfort. We got their special Japanese shiatsu massage for 30min and it saved us from all the built up pain from walking for two weeks. Their outdoor onsen is so cute, and public baths are just the right temperature. They also have a foot spa with a view on Mount Fuji! Oh and they have SO MUCH FLOOR SPACE!! We had the most space at Konansou than any other hotel we've stayed at. The amenities provided are plentiful and of good quality. The kaiseki had a lot of food varieties and it was hands-down the best kaiseki we tried. They make the bed for you and their blankets are soooo soft and fuwa fuwa!! It was a great experience and worth every penny.

Each room has a view of the Kofu Basin, Mt fuji. Mesmerising view of the city after sundown, made me sit there and gaze upon the landscape. Truly one of the top 3 "new" views of Japan. Onsen has a good view of Mt Fuji, reccomended to go during sunrise or sundown to gaze upon the city. Should have booked with meals as there are minimal places open early in the morning. Free coffee is avaliable in the morning at the front terrace of the hotel, which you could sit and gaze upon the city and sunrise.

Great place for Mt Fuji views!

Great place for Mt Fuji views! Plan to stay minimally 3D/2N for best chance to see Fuji coz weather conditions unpredictable, could be clouded over so 3D stay helps to increase chance of clear views. Buy the 2D Red/Green tourist bus which allows you to hop on and off anytime. Red route is more touristy and better Fuji views. Green route is more nature sites, good for walks.

Fujiyoshida offers beautiful views of Mt.

Fujiyoshida offers beautiful views of Mt. Fuji — on a clear day, you can see the mountain from almost anywhere in town. It’s very close to Mt. Fuji and other nearby attractions, making it a great base for exploring the area. I actually prefer staying in Fujiyoshida over Kawaguchiko because it’s less crowded but just as convenient and scenic.

Lake Yamanaka is such a pretty place - Mt. Fuji never showed her face during our stay for the icon lake photos but it didn’t take away from the magic. The little town just 20 mins away by bus from our domes was super cute, filled with history, culture, and more shopping.

Kofu is a really cool place.

Kofu is a really cool place. It is central to quite a few places and easy to navigate, whether you have a car or are using the public system. Shopping is great. One piece of advice would be, if you don't speak or understand Japanese, make usre you have google translate or earbuds as no one speaks english there.

Hokuto is a bit of an off-the-beaten-track destination, perfect for a weekend or even 3 or four days. Surrounded by beautiful nature, it's a great place for hikers - since it's located at the base of the Yatsugatake mountain range. The adventurers can go explore the hiking trails and waterfalls, but also there are charming cafes, art galleries and international cuisine restaurants splattered in the area. I would avoid going there by car on a Saturday morning, because the Chuo Express Road gets packed and it may take up to six hours to get there from Tokyo (the normal is 2 hours). So if you can, go on a weekday.

We stayed for just one night to have the amazing view and cheaper hostel prices. One night in yamanakako, one night in kawaguchico, is perfect. Yamanakako is quieter and less touristy, which is exactly what we wanted. However, the bus schedule limits how many places you can go cuz they come every 1 hr
