An excellent hotel lodge for visiting Mount Fuji area with a car. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the room facilities, though not modern, are adequate for a few days' stay. The hotel even has several hotspring baths that can be used privately among the guests, superb for a couple or a family and a must-try for anyone staying. It is managed by a couple, and they go out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. They even prepare English/American breakfasts for guests who are not yet used to the Japanese ones. It is located right next to the south shore of Lake Yamanaka, a perfect place for taking photos of sunset Mount Fuji.
