Very nice hotel we stayed at a renovated room on a higher level. Very cool to look over the park. There is free parking available. Entrance to the park is free for hotel guests but you have to pay per ride or buy a day pass for 6000 yen. Onsen was also very nice.

Very nice hotel we stayed at a renovated room on a higher level. Very cool to look over the park. There is free parking available. Entrance to the park is free for hotel guests but you have to pay per ride or buy a day pass for 6000 yen. Onsen was also very nice. Very nice view from the breakfast hall but if it’s raining you will not see mt Fuji.

What could be improved: It was very busy during the week already so had to wait like 15 minutes for breakfast to get a table. Also very busy in the park and you had waiting lines of 180 minutes per ride skip the line tickets are available for 2600 Yen per ride plus the fee of the attraction.

The location and scenery free shuttle bus services restaurant food delicious room layout good and spacious very clean and services welcomed.

What could be improved: The toaster or should I say a very small toaster oven that only uses 2 pieces at a time and you have to turn it. They need multiple pop up toasters or slide one that takes multiple and both sides. Otherwise a great set-up for breakfast.

Great clean hotel.
Staff were friendly and helpful. We didn’t like pillows as they were flat so asked for thicker ones and they were provided with no issues.
Breakfast facilities were extensive and many western and Asian options I would recommend having breakfast onsite.
Great view of Fuji from room.
Free shuttle bus into town and nearby attractions worked well for us.

What could be improved: No real issues at all. It’s showing its age a bit but is well maintained.

Beautiful views from the hotel. The restaurant food is delicious. The connection to the park is easy and the facility to ride a bus from and to Tokyo right out the hotel definitely gave us a great experience

What could be improved: Would be nice to have a private onsen in the room since I couldn’t use the public one due to tattoos.

I also didn’t necessarily like getting free admission to Fuji q highland when the roller coasters weren’t working due to the snow.
