Lakeland Hotel Mizunosato

The dinner and breakfast were superb, it was vey quaint and retro, great viewing of Fuji San, highly recommend. The staff were wonderful

Lived it all

Great location, room was great. Onsen was amazing. Views would have been incredible had it not been cloudy!

Had to pre book breakfast and dinner long in advance and theres nowhere close to eat dinner out.

Great access and view of Fuji

Old property was very quaint which I loved but could use some basic maintenance. Sink faucet handles for example were not secure and just rattled around. The room was excellent otherwise.

We had the Mountain View room with traditional tatami mats. Thankfully Fuji was visible and we had amazing views of it from our room. There is also a viewing rooftop where you can see Fuji and surrounding lakes.The room itself was beautiful and traditional and staff came to set up the beds/mats on the floor. You also get lovely views of the lakes from the breakfast room. The breakfast was incredible, a traditional ryokan breakfast. We also used the public onsen. As a woman you get to choose your own robes which is a nice touch. A great stay.

It’s a traditional hotel and some aspects of the main hotel haven’t been updated since the 80s but everything is well maintained. The location is quite far from kawaguchiko station (half hour busy ride and a bit of a walk (15 mins in the dark or short taxi ride if you can get one) to restaurants.
