Guest Review: The view from our room was incredible. We were lucky enough that the view of Mt Fuji was completely clear the day we visited. The staff at the hotel were so welcoming and lovely. They have a shuttle to the train station that runs every 30 mins starting at 8. We had wanted to leave at 7am so asked to book a taxi. Instead of booking us a taxi they stopped what they were doing and gave us a lift instead. I will be recommending to everyone I know that is planning a visit Japan to stay here.
