Location||The hotel is located off the main strip of Fujiyoshida. Just under 20 minutes walk or 4 minutes drive from Mt. Fuji train station. Though a bus operates. It’s about the same to the famous theme park Fuji land & about 10 minutes drive to the car park to get on the bus to the 5th station Subaru line. The bus there runs up the mountain every half hour from 6am until 730pm. Within the area are various restaurants dining & fast food plus some shops including conscience stores, supermarkets, etc.||Room||Room on the 3rd floor, 307 was fairly large for a Japanese hotel & better than expected. Two double beds & one side bed can accommodate three adults. ||A small desk with the only power sockets in the room are offered along with a small fridge & TV. However, there is nothing for non-Japanese speakers to watch. ||The bathroom is the standard small style of which includes a shower cubicle. Large Shiseido shower gel, shampoo & conditioner are offered along with the dental kit. Washlet is also offered. Towels though are very small & thin.||Digital AC with clear instructions though took a little while to cool the room down during Japanese heatwave. The room offered a great view of Mt. Fuji of which I climbed.||Facilities||The hotel offers quite fast WIFI for free and multiple devices. There is also a free onsen for guests but did not try it. Good coin laundry facilities & also plenty of vending machines.||A large free car park is also offered. ||There is a restaurant but unsure if it is for the breakfast of which is not included but believe it costs 600 yen. ||Staff||Most staff speak basic English but really make a lot of effort when it comes to information such as climbing Mount Fuji, providing bus times etc. They do have some flexibility with extending check out by one hour, which was much appreciated after climbing Fuji all night.||The only weakness is that check-in is at 3 & check out at 10 - which is seen in some hotels. But it is very clean & reasonably priced compared to other hotels...
