Hotel dengan Bar di Fujikawaguchiko

For more general details about Fufu Kawaguchiko, please read my review from October 2020... We decided at the last minute to pay a visit to the Fuji Five Lakes area because the weather forecast called for a clear day (and hopefully a clear view of Mt. Fuji.) Thankfully, one room was available, and it was the exact same room as the one we stayed at the first time (Fufu Luxury Premium Suite, Room #408.) It's a top-floor corner suite with a separate bedroom/living room along with an expansive balcony and a free-flowing, open-air Onsen (natural hot springs) bath. As rooms go, it's pure bliss. Modern, tastefully furnished and decorated, bright and airy, and has all of the amenities and features one would expect when staying at a relatively new high-end property. We still feel that Fufu doesn't make the best use of its space - it's a bit busy, and consequently seems a bit less spacious than its specifications suggest (it's officially 136 square meters, although someone we can't help but feel that they're counting the balcony space as part of the overall room size.) It's really less of a ryokan and more of a hotel with ryokan-style elements. Shoes don't need to come off (although you're advised to do so in the guest rooms), they provide ”Samue” (sort of spa pajama/style) outfits rather than the traditional (and albeit more pretty but less comfortable) Yukatas, but still retain some of the common ryokan charms (and a few drawbacks.) The staff are relatively young, hip and ”pretty”, and more casually friendly than the typical traditional ryokan, which is good or bad, depending on your perspective. We enjoyed the high-energy vibe of the place, although we also do enjoy the finesse and quaintness that top traditional ryokans exhibit as well (Asaba is a perfect example of this.) The clientele are also more youthful than most other properties that we've stayed at - this is where the young, wealthy and beautiful go to see and be seen, that's for sure. Again, not necessarily a bad thing, but just a FYI. Not much has changed from our last stay, although I will say that we enjoyed the food offering a bit more this time. We learned that they brought in a new head chef, and while it's not a night-and-day difference, we did notice a quality and creative improvement from last time. A few specialty dishes were once again served, including a unique cheese gratin with Natto (fermented soybeans that is slimy and has a pungent odor) for breakfast - we enjoyed the dish, but not sure how many Westerners can handle Natto, which is a very acquired taste. While we wish there was an option to have meals served in one's own room, we do think that Fufu needs to have more ”ko****su” private dining rooms in the restaurant. They only have a handful of them, and priority goes to large groups or families with small children. When we go to a high-end ryokan, we prefer not to dine in an open, restaurant-style environment. We requested a Ko****su in advance, and were only told we wo

Imagine waking up for the best view of Mount Fuji. You couldn’t ask for more. Enjoying the view just directly from our room with a cup of hot coffee while taking a bath. The hotel also provide private onsen with different themes at level 2 for selection. Dinner with set course is provided at the lobby restaurant, breakfast buffet is delicious as well. We really enjoyed our stay. The showering is located outdoor at the patio just next to the bathtub though, sometimes it is too cold to shower outside. But thankfully the water is strong and hot enough for us to venture and shower outdoors.

一晚一萬兩千多的價格，真的算很貴了，房間不大，很日式的那種，剛從東京銀座的高級酒店來還有點不習慣，但接下來的晚餐太加分了，每一道基本都很好吃，吃完后覺得房價值回一些票價，溫泉沒有去泡，上去看了一眼，池子不是很大，房間的陽台看富士山視野還可以（但是有一顆樹很礙眼），但是不知道是酒店衛生問題還是這裏蟲子多，今早起來我跟我老公胳膊上都起了疹子，特別癢，我老公的比較嚴重，都腫起來了，趕緊抹了點葯。早餐就是比較正常的自助餐。

We only used the restaurant „toe“ and not the hostel itself, as we stayed in a different place. We found it by coincidence. Really cool place, well designed with a wonderful combination of historical elements with modern industrial style. Nice food - mixture of Japanese and International cuisine. Very friendly staff. Probably good to book in advance.

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.

想性價比舒適之王

Love the hotel in every way! Very nice and attentive staff. Thank you so much for the birthday surprise! Although we couldn’t see Mt. Fuji clearly, the view from the room is still enjoyable. The food is amazing and the dinning environment is nice and quiet. I would definitely come back and recommend people to stay in Kumonoue for the trip to Mt.Fuji!

Location of hostel was just opposite Oishi Park, where you can see a clear view of Mt Fuji on good days! The tourist red line bus stop is also only a 5min walk away from the hostel which is super convenient! Rooms were considered big for Japan size and the rooms were comfy and clean. Breakfast is decent too!

In addition to the location is quite far from the community, otherwise is all good.

Pension Candle (Yamanash) is located in Fujikawaguchiko and about 15 minutes by car from Kawaguchiko Station, near Lake Kawaguchi and Mt. Fuji. Guests may borrow conveniences such as irons and humidifiers at no additional charge (please inquire at the front desk for details). The hotel possesses 8 guest rooms.
