Fuji Lake Hotel

This may not be the most luxurious hotel I’ve ever stayed at, but it’s by far my favorite! The staff’s service is exceptionally warm and attentive—truly second to none. The location is perfect, offering a stunning lake view. The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean. The buffet is delicious, full of variety and flavor. I have nothing but praise for this place. I hope to return again and again to witness Mt. Fuji in all four seasons—Fuji Lake Hotel, I will definitely be back!

The hotel itself is quite aged at this point, but still very well kept. Rooms are quite spacious, and the open air tub was excellent, although with the window open the noise coming from outside from the AC/pumps/etc. was pretty loud. The service was excellent. There's a shuttle service, which unfortunately does not run very early in the morning, so be prepared for somewhat of a walk to the station.

In classic Japanese style, this is one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had—but this is certainly not unique in Japan resort and mountain areas. This hotel fit right in with other stays where you are wowed with beautiful views, gorgeous (though somewhat old) rooms, relaxing onsen, yummy food, and kind service. The spot on the lake is perfect and an amazing way to wake up. The onsen was well outfitted with several different tubs (including outdoor ones) and a sauna. The buffets were so great and had many options. Would definitely stay here again and am afraid just one night here was too fast!
