Royal Hotel Kawaguchiko

The hotel was right on Lake Kawaguchiko. We jogged along the lakeside walking path at sunrise and found some beautiful views of Fuji-San as the day began. The room was well equipped and the Futons were comfortable and the staff was courteous.

Room was very spacious. Facilities were excellent. The futon beds were very comfortable. Great location on the lake with an excellent view of Mt Fuji, weather permitting!

The location was excellent, very close to the lake and all the other important locations near Mt Fuji. The room was in traditional Japanese style and very clean and comfortable. We had yukatas in our room and all the necessary amenities. Cleaned everyday. The hotel had an onsen which was super cool - one inside and one outside. We could borrow for free the yukatas for the onsen.

Japanese themed rooms

The staff gave us a far superior room when I queried why my request for a Fuji view had not been granted. The room was newly renovated with a superb bathroom/separate wc. The view of Fuji and part of Lake Kawaguchiko would have been fantastic had Fuji come out from the clouds in those two days but this was not the hotel's problem! The hotel is right on the lake and walking/riding the lake each day was a highlight. The onsen was fantastic especially the outside bath with the rain falling on your head as you bathed in the hot water.
