We love this place so much. The staff and the owner Kobayashi-san is very welcoming and friendly. The view of Mt. Fuji is amazing and we love the hotel's public bath and the roof deck. You can borrow yukata to enjoy the bath. They have a restaurant but only have minimum menu, if you prefer to have food option late at night better bring your own, as there is store nearby that are open late. 100% recommend.

This was the BEST! Jeffrey as our tour guide and teacher was amazing! I booked the bus, basic ski lesson and Oishi park. I have 4 kids and this was definitely best decision I made. He assisted with everything and made the trip super fun! From organising all the equipment, offering suggestions, pick ups, food recommendations, even taking photos! The lesson was so good, he was so patient. Our driver was also so nice and helpful. The bus was so spacious, and we got to see Mt Fuji in various areas. This was a Highlight and I highly recommend this. I will definitely come back and book the same. I’m really grateful for Jeffrey! He was so lovely and helpful.
