Kawaguchiko Country Cottage Ban

When we arrived we contacted the accommodation and they sent a shuttle bus to collect us. The staff were always incredibly polite, friendly and helpful. The view of Mt Fuji from our room was truly spectacular and the room itself open and spacious. The kids loved it too and found the nook at the top they could climb up and sleep in super fun. There is no food available at the resort which they had notified us about but the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. We actually found a small local butcher and purchased Wagyu at a ridiculous cheap price and ate like kings!

Great views from the cottage - we were able to directly see Mt. Fuji from our cottage. Lots of parking spots right in front of the cottage if you are travelling by car. Cottage is very spacious and could accommodate a large group, there are three separate toilets, one bathroom and another shower room so that you don't have to wait long to use the bathroom if you are travelling with a large group. There is a kitchen inside the cottage so that you can cook meals in the cottage if you would like to. A BBQ is available right outside of your cottage, but you will need to pay to use this and bring your own ingredients. There is also a "scenic bath" that you can pay to use as well, with direct views of Mt. Fuji. There are vending machines around that also sells beer so if you run out of drinks, you won't have to jump in the car to get to a convenience store to buy more. Overall, great place to stay in and it exceeds my expectations.

Gorgeous location with great views of Mt Fuji. The private outdoor bath was amazing, I also enjoyed the hammock on the balcony, that was a wonderful way to spend the evening. Great breakfast spread too that they deliver to your cabin. Staff super friendly! There’s a 7/11 about a 20 minute walk away if you need to get food. Beds were very comfy too, we will be back!

Well really, what was there not to like? It is a beautiful property in a lovely setting with views of Mt. Fuji. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, the staff was very friendly and accommodating (holding the free shuttle bus in the morning and calling us to let us know was really great since we were running late!). The town of Fujikawaguchiko is close by (short drive, but a pretty long walk), and all of the sites we wanted to see were easily accessible from town (there are a number of buses that take you to the scenic spots, but we ended up renting a car which was super easy and made getting around great!).

The property was full of beautifully designed and thought out features. The viewing deck off the main reception building of Mt. Fuji is so beautiful and peaceful. The entire property is clean, and feels historical but modern at the same time. The staff were helpful and we loved the free shuttle back to the town bus station. We paid the extra fee for private sauna and cold plunge use and it was very nice, came with robes, towels and water. The Japanese breakfast they supply is delicious!
