Spent 4 nights here and I would highly recommend this hotel to all. Stayed alone, Queen size bed (chair type).

Rooms: spacious, clean, excellent natural lighting fills the room, magnificent view of Mt. Fuji morning and especially during sunset when the sun falls behind the mountain range and the sky explodes with vibrant warm colours.

Big desk for work, and a side chair with a small table to work on as well. I preferred the side chair as a seat, so moved it over to the desk for a more laid back and comfortable work experience.

Bathroom and Shower/Tub combo and layout were just perfect. I’m somewhat tall at 6’4”, and I fit in both comfortably and could move around freely, could have fit two others in the shower room with me even.

Bedding was great, I’ve slept on the floor for a decade now and prefer harder surfaces for some reason, so I am not to fond of super plush beds, but this one was just firm enough and I slept incredibly well. In fact, I was surprised to find myself waking up energized and refreshed after only 5-6 hours of sleep.

I also set the temp in the room to the lowest at 18°C and it works great, slept very well.

Hotel: The several entrances and lobby are grand. They are designed with great attention to detail, felt like you are about to enter a museum or gallery, and with the selection of materials used, it is in some ways just that.

Terrace was my favourite part, I could spend hours sitting out there looking out at the view of the city and bay. On a partially cloudy night, the clouds moved overhead of the open air terrace, and the sound of both the wind and the atmospheric music was so relaxing. Throw your head back and just chill out there. Nice pool and seating as well.

Location: perfect location in a city that is fun to explore. Plenty to see and do and a short ride to Tokyo, Hakone, and more, for further exploration.

Staff: top notch, they were highly professional and kind, and a level of patience with each guest that should be a global standard. You are greeted with every passing encounter, assisted in a respectable way, and any concerns or questions are quickly addressed. Would recommend this hotel for the...
