Yamanashi Prefecture

On July 12th, after departing from the 5th Station at 12:30 PM, my hiking companion experienced slow pace and chest discomfort. Fearing we wouldn't make it to the 8th Station (Shimo-Edoya) and might delay other group members, we signed a departure agreement after our Chinese guide, Meng, suggested it. We walked until 6:00 PM, finally reaching Byakugunso. We explained our physical condition to the lodge owner, stating we couldn't make it to Shimo-Edoya. The owner immediately arranged two empty beds for us to stay and eat, which felt incredibly warm and welcoming (at that time, the sky even displayed colorful clouds and a rainbow). At 2:00 AM, we joined a group led by a female guide from Wilderness Travelers and successfully reached the summit. After seeing the sunrise and taking photos at the crater, we descended to the 5th Station to meet our original group members. Then, at 11:30 AM, we set off for the hot spring excursion. It was then that we heard from other group members that Meng, our guide, had not led them to the summit. Only the two of us, the 'weakest' members, successfully reached the summit. We felt incredibly lucky, and all the effort was truly worth it!

this is well and TRUELY a must stay. if I were to recommend anything, it’s booking this hotel - the staff are unbelievably kind, the hotel is equipped with everything you need during a stay, and the location is PRIME - right next to Mt. Fuji station. We booked this hotel blind, and to say it exceeded our expectations is an understatement. There’s so much thought and attention to detail put into this hotel, artwork, pieces on history, textile information. Not to mention its brand new! We had direct mt Fuji views right from the hotel room and also from the rooftop deck!! My husband and I loved it to much we booked another night that same day. I honestly cant speak highly enough of this hotel. Thank you to the manager and the lovely staff at the hotel, it was truely a pleasure! You’ve made our stay worth forever remembering :)

Note that check out time is 10am!! checkin earlier so that you can enjoy the full experience during the stay. if you are lucky enough, you will get this spectacular view of mount fuji in room.

Много хубав хотел. Лесно самостоятелно настаняване чрез сканиране на паспорт. На пешеходно разстояние от известния ресторант Hoto, много вкусен. Хотелската стая е оборудвана с всичко необходимо – шампоан, балсам, сешоар, четка за зъби, нощница и т.н. Безплатна закуска на шведска маса с добър избор от храни. Насладихме се на престоя си. Хотелът е чист. Хотелът предлага и безплатен совалков автобус до различни места. От стая в блок B може да се види планината Фуджи!

The room is very clean including dinner and breakfast package. striploin beef steak is highly recommended. The location is the best. we are lucky enough to enjoy the fuji view

beautiful hotel with Mt. Fuji view! room was perfect for a family of 4. breakfast was good with a view. staff were friendly and accommodating. hotel had ebikes for rent which we availed on our firsy day. bed and toilet was great too! definitely recommended!👍👍👍

Този път отседнахме в стая с изглед към планината Фуджи. На сутринта след настаняването времето беше прекрасно и планината Фуджи се виждаше ясно от прозореца. Хотелът разполага с обществени горещи извори, които са разделени на вътрешни и външни. Дори когато стоите, можете да видите планината Фуджи, което е много специално преживяване. В близост няма много ресторанти, затова препоръчвам да изберете пакет, който включва закуска. Наблизо има място за наемане на велосипеди, което е удобно за обиколка на езерото Кавагучи. Що се отнася до транспорта, хотелът е малко далеч от спирката на високоскоростния автобус за увеселителния парк Фуджи-Кю. Можете да проверите дали хотелът предлага трансферни услуги (този път не ги използвахме, така че не проучихме).
