Hotels near Lake Saiko

"Loved our stay here. Staff was thorough and friendly. The room was spacious and comfortable. First time sleeping on tatami mats! This was the most expensive hotel on our Japan trip as we were hoping to see Mt Fuji from our room. Unfortunately we didn’t, as it was cloudy. The French restaurant was expensive with very small portions, but flavorful dishes. The breakfast was simply amazing; we got to try Japanese traditional dishes. The free shuttle goes from Kawaguchiko Station to the hotel. "

"The owners treat you like family. The room was traditional Japanese style and very inviting. I will definitely stay with them again"

"Nice hotel"

"富士山ビューの部屋に家族4人とペットの犬1匹で宿泊し、常に大きな窓から富士山全景が見え、大変満足でした。 設備も整っており、清掃も行き届いているので、快適に過ごせました。 ベットと枕の硬さもちょうど良く、朝までぐっすり眠れました。"

"We were really excited to stay at HANZ Outdoor Resort, but the experience was a major disappointment. Communication was poor from the start. We were told we needed a local number for pickup, but when we called from the bus station using one, the staff said they didn’t speak English and refused to pick us up without any clear explanation. We had to take a taxi instead. There were also several unclear and misleading policies. We were told we could chop wood, but no one showed us where to do it or provided tools. After a small initial batch, we were told we’d be charged for additional pre-cut wood. The biggest issue is that outside food is not allowed at all, forcing you to either arrive before 7 PM (when the lobby closes) or pay ¥4400 per person for a very underwhelming meal you have to grill yourself. The villa didn’t match what we booked on Expedia. We paid for a full mountain view but didn’t receive it, and staff gave inconsistent explanations (“not functioning,” then “reserved for tomorrow”). They eventually offered to move us while we were already settled and in the middle of grilling. The layout was inconvenient, with no separate shower, weak water pressure (took 45+ minutes to fill the jacuzzi), an overheated upstairs sleeping area, and very narrow stairs. Cleanliness was also questionable ~ we found long black hairs in the jacuzzi despite having blonde hair. Overall, extremely disappointing for the $650 per night price. Would not recommend."

"My stay here was amazing! The heater worked great and the staff was very helpful and showed us how to turn on the heaters. We were very thankful we had the opportunity to stay at this lovely place as well as see Mount Fuji from our dome. "

"I loved this little cabin!! My entire family loved it and didn’t want to leave! Great location and convenient to Fuji. I only regret I didn’t book for longer"

"CLAMPING at Bulls Camp was really convenient for overnighter to the Mt Fuji area for Expo Fireworks at Fujiten Ski Resort. Not quite Camping, definitely not Glamping, the camp is situated right off of the 139 though there really was not any highway noise. The little deck and barbecue were great. We did not use the cooking facilities but there is a communal area to borrow items you may have forgotten, or need to complete a meal. The inside was plain but clean, I was really glad that the linens and towels were supplied. The showers and restroom were small but clean! Pleasantly surprised! Recommend for one or two nights’ stay. "

"This place was so neat! It had a very unique cottage vibe with a wonderful breakfast option. Make sure you order it before your reservation day. Warnings: This place is out in the woods with limited bus routes available. Like only 5-6 routes all day. So plan accordingly. Also, each room has its own toilet but you shares the shower/onsen room. Only one family/person uses it at a time. "
