Minshuku Kobayashi offers Japanese-style accommodations with Mount Fuji views. The Japanese Yukata robes are provided. A free shuttle is available to/from Kawaguchiko Train Station, a 15-minute drive away.

We could walk to the lakes and around Kawaguchiko adn really felt we were in the countriside which in itself has it's charm. I loved the idea of sleeping in a traditional Japanese house - you sleep on a mattress, the bathroom had all the amenities and plus there is a traditional bath there. They picked us up at the train station and also dropped us off - the owners were very nice, even though they didn't sleep English we managed to have a nice stay there.

It has a nostalgic and old school luxurious feeling. The staff were very helpful even without much English. The room was huge and the view.... Mount Fuji framed as a background. It was exactly what we wanted and more than we expected.

Maruyaso is a Japanese-style property with a 24-hour indoor hot spring bath and tatami-mat rooms. A 5-minute walk from Kawaguchi Lake, it offers views of the majestic Mt. Fuji. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.

This is a hidden gem for me, because the price is just below averange compared the others ryokan. The owner can’t speak english but she managed to explain everything with the body gesture :’D. She was pretty nice and warm to all guests. The room was quite good enough to work and sleep (you can put the table away and open the futton for sleep). There is also onsen on the 1st floor for women and men, it was a good experience to have open bath like that. I also want to mentioned the internet here is high speed, best for you to work if you planning to work from home. There is nice robot-cat(?) cafe near the road that open so early as well. Definitely will be back if I went to kawaguchigo again next time.

The location was absolutely great! The back has direct access to Yagisaki Park, and the room had a great view. The host was great - came to oick me up from the station despite very short notice, and were polite and accommodating. The bonus is the bikes that guests can use!

    Location and ease of access very good. The rooms were well equipped with plenty of heaters and extra blankets. The Onsen was lovey albeit a shares space though it was possible to lock the door thus make it private (not sure this would be appreciated if it had been busier)

    Old wooden lodge in Japanese style with friendly owners how try to help. The breakfast (1500 Yen) was great even if it was a bit messed-up by ketchup. The room is small but for a night sufficient and pure Japanese style (Tatami/Futon). The bathroom and toilets are shared and it feels like using the owners area.

    The house is positively gorgeous, and could not have been cleaner! Once we got inside, we were welcomed with comfortable slippers. The hosts have thoughtful amenities such as epsom salts and essential oils, yukata on the beds, amazing coffee and tea set up. The views out of the back of the house are absolutely unmatched!!! With all of the fresh snowfall before our arrival, we didn't access the outdoor firepit, but it looked very welcoming, and we would love to return another time, when we are more prepared for the weather.

    Papa and Mama san were extremely welcoming and made our visit very enjoyable. They showed us the local onsen for a traditional experience as well as the local hiking trails. The communal table allowed us to meet other people and gain more insight into places to visit and food to eat!

    The place is very cosy and peaceful. The hosts are wonderful, they were treating their guests like their own family, checking all the time if we needed anything and indulging us with cold tea and coffee. I also recommend the nearest onsen, especially in the evening when it' s not that hot.

    The best place to stay in Saiko lake area. Papa and Mama San were amazing hosts. They treated us like family with plenty of tea, coffee and cake! Not to mention, their breakfast is amazing and worth the extra cost. The Japanese style rooms were beautiful and the whole place was cosy. There was an amazing onsen nearby too.

    It felt like a home away from home, it’s very quaint with lovely views around. Mama and Papa always put the fire on to ensure it was warm. The futons were surprisingly very comfortable. Wonderful to have exceptional home cooked food made with love for breakfast, bonus points for catering to vegetarians. Onsen with insane mt fuji views 10 minute walk away (discount provided by hosts). Great conversations, such lovely people to be around!

    Delicious breakfast! Well-balanced, vegetables, protein and gut health. Cozy lodge! The owners always made sure our room and hallway are always warm. Our kid loves them!! Very kid-friendly and always made sure our kid was always entertained. It's very close to an onsen and close to Iyashi no Sato Nenba, and Aokigahara Jukai. Communication was great! We will definitely stay here again!
