Hotel Regina Kawaguchiko

You can see and take photos of Mount Fuji right from the room. The shuttle bus was also very convenient. The hot spring on the first floor was excellent. There's even a convenience store in the lobby, and the prices for local specialties were cheaper than at the airport. In particular, Mr. Wu at the front desk, who spoke Chinese, was incredibly helpful to us tourists, guiding us on how to get to the main attractions. We booked the Kaiseki dinner for our second night, and it was absolutely stunning, providing a wonderfully ceremonial end to our trip.

We were upgraded to a suite, which was quite spacious, and the bathroom had a separate shower and toilet. On a clear day, you can even see Mount Fuji from the balcony – the view is absolutely perfect!

The room was spacious, a two-bedroom unit with excellent heating. The bathroom, as always, was great. There's a hot spring bath on the first floor, available morning and evening. Since it wasn't peak season, it wasn't crowded and was very relaxing, with a sauna available. Breakfast was decent. The hotel is quite a distance from Kawaguchiko Station, so getting around isn't very convenient without a shuttle bus. Pick-up service can only be booked between 3 PM and 8 PM. In the mornings, they only offer drop-off, not pick-up. This is something to be aware of in advance. The hotel service was quite good, with Chinese-speaking staff patiently answering various customer questions. The hotel offers good value for money. My elderly parents were very satisfied and enjoyed the beautiful Mount Fuji views from their room. Additionally, there's a large supermarket near the hotel with a wide variety of goods, including local specialties, at reasonable prices.

The hotel facilities are a bit old, but very clean. The quadruple room is actually a living room with two extra beds. The front desk staff speak good English, and the breakfast buffet was also very good. You can have dinner at the hotel, but there are plenty of dining options nearby, so we didn't eat there. There's a small onsen on the first floor, and it's rarely crowded. The biggest advantage is being able to see Mount Fuji from the balcony. It's a hotel with great value for money.
