Hotel and room are beautiful located on a hillside. Cocktail hour with food and drinks are awesome considering the hotel is not accessible to find your own food. Very romantic and quiet location for a chilled stay. Staff are very helpful and there are shuttle between the hotel and kawaguchiko station.

A lovely respite from the busy lake town where it was very crowded. Quiet and peaceful with calming environment and wonderful view of lake. Great location for hiking up to Tenjoyama Park with fabulous views of the lake and Mount Fuji. They could invest in an easier walk up the driveway to the hotel as it is very steep and could be considered moderately difficult.
