Read moreThis is a very traditional Japanese mid range accommodation. The rooms are Japanese style with tatami mats, thin mattresses and pillows with shells (? Strangely comfortable though when you embrace them!) The rooms are large.||||The bathrooms are gender separated. The 'onsen' is effectively not an onsen but a large bath. This is open for use daily 6-10pm. The only showers are open 7-9 and 6-10 and are the ones in the room with the onsen/bath, meaning bathing is not done privately. Being British, this made me apprehensive and anxious but whenever I was in there, no one else was. And it's all part of the Japan experience.||||Breakfast is included. You can choose when I'll is cooked for you (up until 8:30). The first morning we had a traditional Japanese breakast as shown in the photos. This was good food which I would have loved for lunch or dinner. Again, being British, I found rice and salmon hard to stomach at 7:30am. The owners obviously noticed and the next two mornings provided a breakfast of pastries and fresh fruit, even though they served Japanese breakfasts to others. This was delicious and a very kind gesture!||||Staff are very friendly and helpful, picking us up and taking us back to the station without hesitation. To arrange this, go into the Tourist Information at arrival to the station. The English speaking staff will call for you.||||All in all, this place is a fraction of the cost of other nearby accommodation. It may be quite basic, but it's authentic and close to everything you want. I...
Read moreStayed 2 nights at Resort Inn Fujihashi with my family from 29 - 31 Mar 2016. The room is in Japanese style tatami flooring with futon beds. There is a public gender segregated sento (just hot water, not natural mineral water that you get in onsen) within the Inn, where guest take their bath. It's only available for use (bath) from 1800 - 2200, and in the morning from 0630 to 0900, for shower only. The Inn is family run, and the owner is very friendly, but can't speak much English. They serve great Japanese style breakfast. Upon your at Kawaguchiko Station, just pop over to Tourist Information Office next door, and request the counter staff for assistance to contact the Inn owner to pick you up. On the day you check out, the owner will also send you back to the train station. Nearby the Inn, there is a big supermarket and a couple of restaurants. During our stay there, we rented bicycles from the bicycle rental shop near the train station and cycled around Lake Kawaguchiko. On fine day, one will be able to take in the splendid view of Mt Fuji from certain stretch of the lake. The con aspect being that there isn't any ensuite toilet, all guests share the common toilet. Also the distance to the Kawaguchko Station isn't 't exactly near, but is still manageable with about 15 mins walk. The room that we stayed is pretty bare and is quite old. The futon mattresses and blankets look like they need...
