Lava Spa (Kobe Beef on Lava Stones) — Hotel in Fujikawaguchiko

During our recent visit to the Lava Spa near Kawaguchi, we had the opportunity to try the Kobe beef A5, cooked on hot lava stones. The food itself was excellent, with the Kobe beef being incredibly tender and flavorful, showcasing the high quality of A5 grade meat.

However, the overall experience was marred by several issues. The service left much to be desired, as the waiters were quite rude and inattentive. The dining environment felt cramped and barrack-like, which detracted from the enjoyment of the meal. Additionally, the lava stones used for cooking were excessively hot, making the dining area uncomfortably warm.

While the food quality was impressive, the lackluster service and uncomfortable setting significantly impacted our overall dining experience.

Improvement in these areas would make a return visit...

Nice stone grill beef in Fujisan area. Floor seating and homey ambiance makes you feel like cooking your steak in traditional Japanese house. Food quality is good but the restaurant is busy, advanced reservation is required. A5 beef is a recommended for sharing as too much fatty makes...
