야마기시 료칸

Paid*** pp for a night at Yamagishi. Room small but compact and enough for 3, though we would appreciate it if more space was available for luggage. Views were non existent as all ryokans along this road were right next to each other, but view of Kawaguchiko from the front was excellent. Price did not include dining options but for the onsens (2 onsens, gender switching onsens every day) were pretty nice, well equipped, and quiet. Exceptional work.

Disappointment We booked a room with a view, but were initially given a room overlooking another hotel and a wall. After several attempts to explain that we had specifically booked a room with a view, we were finally given the key to another room that actually had one. However, at first we were told that we could only move to another room the following day and would have to pay an additional ¥3,000 per person per night. The towels were simply disgusting. They were extremely old and stained — I wouldn’t even use textiles like that to clean the floor. The furniture also looked like it was from another century. The floor was dirty as well. Some members of the staff do not speak English and do not even make an effort to help. On one occasion, I asked for a second room key, since as a couple we usually receive two keys. The young man at reception simply said “no” and kept repeating “no” to everything I tried to explain, without making any attempt to help or clarify the situation. I do not recommend this hotel. The public bathroom was also unpleasant. In the women’s bath, there is a serious lack of privacy: people from another building can see into the bathing area while you are washing and using the bath.

Stayed here during Fuji climbing season. Staff is very friendly and accomodating. Very nice traditional hotel for a small price. Has nice amenities too. Good place if you're looking to stay in front if the lake. There's also a convenience store right beside the hotel.

It's my second time stayed at Yamaghisi Ryokan . Like it's just front of lake and red bus station. The minus point was the smell of the living room . Other than this all were great and I love the onsen pool.

Stayed at Yamagishi Ryokan with my family in April, and it was absolutely perfect. Our room overlooked Lake Kawaguchi, and the view alone made the stay unforgettable. The misty mornings over the lake felt almost dreamlike, while the flickering lights at night created such a peaceful atmosphere. Sleeping on the cosy tatami was also surprisingly comfortable and added to the authentic ryokan experience. The location is incredibly convenient. There’s a Lawson right next door, which made everything easy for us, especially for quick snacks and essentials. The Red Line Kawaguchiko Sightseeing Bus also stops just a few doors away from the ryokan, making it very convenient to explore the beautiful surroundings of Kawaguchiko. And of course, the Japanese-style breakfast was absolutely scrumptious — a wonderful way to start each morning. I truly loved this place and would happily return again on my next trip to Japan.
