Hotel Regina Kawaguchiko

The hotel boasts a great location, with every room featuring a balcony that offers stunning views of Mount Fuji as soon as you step out. While it's about a 30-minute walk from Kawaguchiko Station, the hotel provides a free shuttle bus, which is a convenient solution. A major plus is the spacious room, designed as a suite with separate living and sleeping areas. The bathroom, shower room, and vanity are also separate, ensuring a proper wet-dry division. On the downside, only breakfast is provided, and the room lacks a microwave, which can be inconvenient for guests, especially if bad weather keeps them in.

This hotel had the largest bathroom of any hotel I've stayed at in Japan, hands down. A huge thanks to the staff who spoke Chinese. Plus, with the hot springs, it's incredibly refreshing to soak after hiking Mount Fuji. The scheduled shuttle service to the station is also super convenient!

The front desk had Chinese-speaking staff, which greatly helped with the language barrier. The hotel also provided a shuttle service to and from Lake Kawaguchiko, which was very convenient.

On the way to the hotel, I saw Mount Fuji shrouded in clouds, and at Lake Kawaguchiko, I experienced my first ever fireworks festival and stayed at a hot spring hotel. The front desk at Hotel Regina had polite and friendly Chinese-speaking staff, as well as convenient and timely shuttle services to and from the station. The room was spacious and bright, and I could even gaze at Mount Fuji from the balcony. The hot spring water was warm and silky smooth, making my first visit comfortable and enjoyable. Plus, the hotel's souvenir shop on the first floor was a lifesaver, allowing me to pick up gifts even when I was rushing back. It was a novel and delightful stay, rejuvenating both my body and mind, and allowing me to truly enjoy the moment.

Great location with a view of Mount Fuji, so you can easily pop over to the popular Lawson for a photo op. The hotel is clean and the breakfast is fantastic.
