I stayed at the Kogetsu for 2 nights in May and it was an unforgettable experience. Every detail was beautiful and thoughtful. I booked rather late and was not able to book the same room, so the first night I stayed in a Standard Western Style twin w open-air bath; and the second night in a Standard Japanese Modern w open-air bath (Triple). Both were on the 3rd (of 5) floors and both had stunning views of Mt Fuji. Both incorporated both Japanese and Western style. The first room had wood floors throughout and half-shoji screen doors so you could separate the bedroom and dining areas. It also had a small walk-in closet. The outdoor onsen was quite large (could easily fit 4 adults) and the patio was wider than in the Triple room. I posted pics of the Standard Western Style Twin and will post the pics of the Triple separately. In contrast the Triple room was larger and there was a gorgeous daybed (which becomes the 3rd bed) with windows on either side overlooking Mt Fuji. The onsen was a bit smaller (could easily fit 2 adults). The bedroom was carpeted, dining area had tatami-style mats, and hallway had wood floors. There was a wardrobe rather than walk-in closet in this room. Both rooms had a wet area for washing up before the onsen, a separate powder room, and separate toilet room. Honestly, you can’t go wrong - both rooms were gorgeous. I felt lucky to be here. One thing to note is that there is a boat launch beside the ryokan, so my open-air onsen on 3rd floor was not super private (there’s a screen to pull down if you want privacy, but it obscures the view). The 4th/5th floors would have more feeling of privacy. The kaiseki meals were beautifully displayed and delicious. The 2 nights’ menus were different but followed a similar (but not identical) format: 1) Aperitif, 2) Seasonal appetizers, 3) Soup, 4) Sashimi, 5) Main course (hot), 6) Steamed fish, 7) Grilled fish, 8) Palette cleanser, 9) simmered dish, 10) rice dish, and 11) dessert. My nakai, Fumiko-san, was lovely - friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Breakfast was also included - it was half- buffet, with an elegant bento box with appetizers and tamago. It also included delicious tempura, made to order and delivered to your table. The hotel has a happy hour from 2:30-6:30 where a limited selection of tea, coffee, nonalcoholic drinks, beer and wine are free. You can enjoy them on the gorgeous terrace overlooking Mt Fuji with your feet soaking in the footpath (just not in your room). Lastly there are shuttles every morning to Kawaguchiko Station or any of the tourist sights on the way, and the hotel will send a shuttle to pick you up when you are ready to come back. The location of this ryokan could not be better - close to some great museums and on the North shore of the lake, which has the best views (and away from the touristy South shore).

As a traveller with large tattoos, I wanted to leave a review here confirming that this onsen allows for guests with tattoos. This is the onsen review only. I went in the early afternoon on a Saturday and, while initially I shared the onsen with 4 other Japanese ladies, eventually I had the whole onsen for myself. Very hot water, 1 indoor pool and 2 outdoor pools, although one was not in use and empty. 1000 yen for 2 hours (bring your own towels), English website, easy to access from Kawaguchiko station.
Fuji Lake Hotel says on its website that they are a ”people-friendly” hotel but they were anything but that, when we visited the hotel one day during our 3-day stay at Lake Kawaguchi in Fujikawaguchiku Japan. My sisters visited the hotel in the pre-pandemic days of 2017 and had a memorable and enjoyable afternoon having tea and cakes in the hotel's dining area. I had a desire for cakes one afternoon during our stay, and we took a bus from Kawaguchiko station specifically to this hotel hoping to partake their afternoon sweet delights. There were six of us, five sisters ad a brother-in-law. we arrived outside the hotel, which showed a huge poster promoting le Pain de Daniel showing danish pastries. So we were hopeful as we entered the lobby. We wanted to go into the lounge filled with sofas when two staff members - a man and a woman stopped us. The man asked if we were staying guests at the hotel and we said no but that we were there to have tea/coffee and cakes. He said cakes could be had across the street (there were no shops opened selling pastries). Then a second lady joined them and took charge, looking very determined to ”handle us”. Frowning very heavily and looking very stern, she asked again if we were staying at the hotel. I said we weren't but my sisters had a great time they visited to have tea in 2017 and we were here to do the same. I glanced towards the sofa area to ascerrain if there was a display of desserts, but she immediately stretched out her hands and very rudely told us, no tea no cakes. basically, she wanted us to get out of the hotel. Her whole stance was - ”you lot, get out of my hotel”. I've never in all my travels come across such an ill-mannered and disrespectful hotel staff as her. she was rude, discourteous and arrogant. Even if we were not hotel guests, there was no ground for such a hostile and rude approach. she could have very politely explained that the hotel is simply not opened to outside guests - although that was clearly contradicted by that huge poster outside advertising pastries. We could have been potential hotel guests in the future - my sisters love visiting Japan and has been many times. But her total attitude tells me and my family that this hotel is not welcoming in any way. I've been all over the world from camping on the frozen Arctic Ocean to the US, to the heart of Africa, to the southern reaches of New Zealand and Australia and reaches of China, but I would never ever step into a hotel like Fuji Lake Hotel again.
Comfortable and well run hotel with spectacular views of Mt Fuji from rooms on south side. Rooms are well equipped with generous supplies of toiletries and the complimentary kimonos - available in several sizes - are a nice touch and useful for onsen visits. The breakfast buffet is extensive and we enjoyed the made to order omelettes. We also ate in the restaurant in the evening where the food was delicious and very well prepared if rather expensive. There is no bar but beer is available from the vending machine in the basement and wine vouchers can be purchased at reception for use in a dispensing machine close by. The observation deck is well worth visiting especially at dusk for views of Fuji, the lake and surrounding mountains. Throughout the staff were very helpful and we appreciated the shuttle service to the train/bus station and the availability of the luggage transfer service in the hotel shop.
Ein modernes Hotel welches sich im Fuji-Hakone Nationalpark befindet. Dort waren wir für 1 Nacht bei unserer Japan Rundreise untergebracht. Das Zimmer war sehr schön, leider hatten wir am Abend bei unserer Ankunft Regenwetter, so dass wir von der Umgebung nichts sehen konnten. Dafür wurden wir am nächsten Morgen entschädigt.
Booked this ryokan purely based on pictures online. The entire experience definitely did not disappoint. Managed to try two different rooms, 1 with private onsen and another lead in room. The upgrade for the rooms with private onsen are definitely worth it as they are newer and much larger rooms. There is free coffee and tea in the lobby. Breakfast changes daily and is of high quality. Dinner was also amazing and a wonderful experience. Location wise, it is up a very steep hill and not suitable to walk up with luggages. The hotel does provide pick up service from the train station at certain timings.
訪訪客Came by during the coldest winter in Japan for years and was at first worried about the snow storm as our cars are not fitted with snow tires, so I decided to call up the hotel. On hand to assist is a very nice and kind lady by the name of Zora who tried to go all out to assist and though we asked if we can cancel the stay with no cancellation fees, she mentioned it was tough due to regulations from the booking website. Nevertheless she took efforts to keep me posted of the conditions in Kawaguchiko prior to our arrival and we finally made our trip there. The hotel is clean and new as it opened almost 2.5 years ago hence was dealt with the Covid pandemic and it was not easy for them to survive. The hotel has several Mandarin speaking staff and check in is only after 3 pm hence when we arrived the counter was empty and waited for a while for a Mandarin speaking Japanese to come over to assist, very helpful with suggestions but again they didn’t allow us to amend our stay due to the upcoming snow storm. In the end we decided to forfeit our 2nd night stay due to the fact we do not have snow tire and this is where I felt the hotel can be a bit more flexible by offering a discount. The rooms we were given is huge and spacious , as mentioned by Zora with a good view of Mount Fuji, however the view changes just the next day hence we are lucky to have a wonderful view of Mount Fuji from the room . Overall the stay was very good as staff are very helpful, multi lingual staff with one of the guy from Taiwan being able to speak Mandarin , English , Cantonese , Korean and of course Japanese. Breakfast is simple but very adequate .
訪訪客Room accommodations: 4/5 rating - The room is very clean, spacious, and simple. I got the Japanese tatami style room facing Mt. Fuji. It feels like a legit Japanese experience. The bathroom and the entry way is small. Dining: 5/5 rating - The included buffet food is AMAZING! This is by far one of the best buffets I've had in a while. It's simple and nothing crazy, but the food quality is surprisingly good. Service: 4/5 rating - Allows baggage check-in. Great shuttle service to and from key areas in Kawaguchiko. English proficiency is Medium to Low. The staff speak limited English.
