Plaza Inn Kawaguchiko

Good location; short walk from Kawaguchiko station and easy to find.

The location is superb. Just seconds to the Kawaguchiko station, which really helps when we want to go early at 5.30am to the station for the Honcho street photo shoot. The room we stayed has a Mt Fuji view. Luggage storage is available for early arrival before checking in, but no storage after checking out but find it no problem at all because the train station has plenty of lockers. There is even a shop nearby that also offers luggage storage. Elevator is also available, which is a plus point for luggage travelers :) The entrance door is locked around 11.30pm until 5.00am (this curfew is mentioned in the rules in booking.com page), but if you want to go out early and no staff around (we went out around 5.30am but no one was there), you can just unlocked the door when you are going out (but I would suggest you to inform them the night before so they'll be aware of the unlocked door/early outing). The staffs were so helpful and nice. All of them are elders (some look a bit younger) but all these ojisan are so nice that I hope one day I can come again and give them some gifts from my country, which means I'm totally gonna stay here again next time!

The location of the hotel is excellent, directly opposite the railway and bus station and has a view of MtFuji. You can leave your suitcases at reception if you arrive before check-in time. The hotel owner is welcoming and speaks a little English. We booked a traditional Japanese room for four adults. The hotel lobby, room and bathroom was very clean. We had a view of Mt Fuji from the window in our room. You put your own futon mattresses and bed linen out yourself and put them away in the morning. The bathroom was a tiny cabin bathroom but plenty of hot water and clean towels, toothbrushes etc. and everything worked. There was a fridge, kettle and tv in the room and a low table and cushions to sit on the floor. The tatami mats were very clean and new and the futon mattresses were surprisingly comfortable, we all slept well. The hotel was quiet at night, other guests got up early to catch sunrise over the mountain and we did hear them because the walls are quite thin with it being a traditional ryokan room.

Very accommodating. Almost all facilities assisted my stay in the hotel. I sleep very tight in the night. The outside is cold but the heater in the room keeps us warm. Our room number is 202. Tatami style room, sleeping like Japanese. The best part, our room is in front of Fujisan. We woke up at 5.00am, looked outside and saw mount fuji stood beautifully in front of us. It is really amazing! No complaints on this hotel, parking free. Location near to everything include 7e and Lawson. Additional, the hotel was in front of Kawaguchiko station for train n buses. Overall I am satisfied and recommend it to others. I wish to come here again.

Hotel's location is superb, just right opposite the Kawaguchiko station. We were able to see Mount Fuji from our room's window! The building itself is old but well maintained and clean, no odd smell in the room. The hotel receptionist, two old men, probably the hotel owner are friendly. We booked the traditional Japanese room with futon beds, we were worried that we might not be used to it, but surprisingly we slept well throughout two nights there. The room comes with a private bathroom and toilet, which is convenient to families with senior citizens and young children.
