JINYA富士河口湖 — Hotel in Fujikawaguchiko

This small, very new, and super-clean hotel is exactly what we needed for our first visit to Kawaguchiko. It doesn’t provide any resort amenities, but it is within walking distance (or a short sightseeing bus ride) of everything you’ll need to do here at the foot of Mt. Fuji. If you get lucky with clear skies, the iconic Fuji is visible in all it’s splendor from the front step of the hotel. ||The handful of guest rooms range in size from 2-bedded to 6-bedded accommodations, with modern facilities, including microwave oven, fridge, and dining table. Jinya is a short walk from the Kawaguchiko train station, a 20 minute walk to the lake, and is close to lots of good restaurants, including a very popular tempura restaurant just down the street. ||There is only one room (the upstairs room with 6 twin beds) that has a direct view of Mt. Fuji, and it requires opening the opaque sliding glass door to see it. Too bad more couldn’t have been done to build a proper viewing balcony into the hotel’s design. But for sleeping comfortably, and being close to all the attractions, this little hotel...

An amazing stay for a night in Fujikawaguchiko. Probably our best value stay in Japan! The two gentlemen who helped us during our stay provided the most amazing, friendly and hospitable service.

The room was immaculately clean, great amenities such as loungewear, indoor and outdoor slippers etc. We stayed in a triple room, the beds were comfortable and plenty of space for us all. The sitting area and kitchen are great for a short stay.

The hosts allowed us to check in early and gave us lots of help with ordering taxis, deciding which onsens to go to and food options. They also provided a great little JINYA map of the town with their recommendations for food, activities, post offices and all things you would need for a short stay…

Lastly - this is 50m from the famous Lawson - we woke early and beat the crowd to be first there… check this picture!

We would stay here again in an instant. Unfortunately we forgot to take photo of the room, but it was immaculately prepared. Thank you to you both for the...
