Location of hotel is excellent for full view of Mt Fuji. However, it may be tricky to locate if you are taking public transport. Staff are friendly and service is excellent. Not for travellers who are in a rush. Take time to enjoy the peace, tranquil and refresh oneself.

The staff were wonderfully friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the 1 day/2 nights we spent here were rainy days. Our canoe experience was cancelled of course. And after half a days time, we felt very restless and a bit trapped. The compound overall is quite small. We thought we could take a hike in the drizzle but there were not any paths through the trees, as advertised on their map. We walked up and down the compound (a lot of stairs) to find a trail but the trails were either blocked off (due to rain) or non-existent. No trails were clearly marked. To get in and out of the compound you need to ask the staff to drive you a short distance to a lower parking lot area, where then you would have to call a cab to go "into town". Given that we were there for a such a short time and had a scheduled dinner and 1 mid-day activity (the smoking workship), it didn't make sense for us to make the trek out of the compound. The smoking workshop was not so much of a "workshop" but a quick 15 min. demonstration of woodchips, tabletop smoker, with a charcuterie board. It left much to be desired. The in-room shabu shabu and sukiyaki was delicious and the highlight of our stay. I do wish however, the vegetable pairings were different for the two meals but I understand that it's local ingredients. Eating on the balcony under the heated blanket was also the most unique experience of Hoshinoya. We also never got to see Mt. Fuji due to the weather.

Beautiful hotel, but was surprised that so many things were chargeable, wished that it came with some more affordable dining options, or at least transport to town made available.

Amazing stay experience with the breathtaking view of Lake Kawaguchi and the magnificent Mt. Fuji from your room literally in and out. The room was tidy and spacious with the ceiling tall window and the comfortable terrace sofa. The staff and the service was very friendly, approachable yet has a first class detailed hospitality. The property was highly designed well on how you spend the time in both in the room and in the woods by the nature. Definitely recommend for any group if any age!!

The mountain Fuji view was spectacular. It is something that has to be experienced, because words can’t really describe it. The facilities and stuff were excellent, and a 2 nights stay would be good enough to enjoy the place.

Despite it being cloudy and rainy during our entire stay and not being able to actually see Mt. Fuji, we had a fantastic time at Hoshinoya. It's truly a unique experience and worth every penny in my opinion. The facilities were top notch and staff couldn't have been more pleasant. The food, while definitely on the more expensive end, was very well prepared. I hope to come back someday to actually see Mt. Fuji!

We had an amazing night stay at Hoshinoya Fuji during our 2 week trip to Japan!!! We travelled from Hiroshima - taking the Shinkansen to Tokyo then Chuo Line to Ōtsuki and then the Fujiku Railway to Kawaguchi Station and a taxi to the hotel reception. We picked a backpack each (containing binoculars, water bottle, pillow, head torch and biscuits) and were driven to our cabin where we were provided with tea and an overview of the hotel services and facilities. We ordered the “Glamping Curry” for dinner which we ate on our balcony overlooking Fujikawaguchiko, and then the “Morning Box” for breakfast with clear views to Mt Fuji. We were worried when we arrived that we may not see Fuji because of the cloud cover but by the morning we had a clear unobstructed view (worth waking early!). The cabins are clean and modern. The staff were lovely and accommodating. There were a great number of complimentary activities (such as water colour painting and afternoon sweets) and others which were additional charges if you were so inclined (such as pizza making and canoeing). Lots of stairs but don’t let that deter you. Overall a memorable experience which was worth the extra $$$ for a night of luxury overlooking Mt Fuji. Arigatōgozaimashita Hoshinoya Fuji 🗻😊
