I’d give it a 10/5 if I could. The owner was the friendliest person ever. As soon as we got there he took a picture of us in front of Fuji, offered us a drink in the lobby was very hands on with helping operations. They even had announcements on the intercom when Fuji came out of the clouds. Out of all the places we stayed while in Japan this one was my absolute favourite.

Beautiful view of Mount Fuji for the hotel room and rooftop. Very unique (traditional Japanese style). Far from other tourist attractions but the bus stop is right outside the hotel, so that was super convenient. The view makes it worth it.

Excellent hotel in Shoji lake

The hotel is very comfortable. There is free hot spring which helps you to relax. The terrace roof’s view is spectacular. The staff is friendly and helpful! The rooms are spacious and clean.

Shoji Lake hotel offers a very warm hospitality. the hotel itself is facing the Shoji lake and the Fuji-san view is so clear. you can walk to the lake side, also have free parking. the hotel has hotspring bath ( indoor and outdoor, I suggest the outdoor since its newly renovated). The rooms are quite aging but everything is cleaned properly. the staff is very helpful and explain everything so nicely. I suggest bringing some cup noodles/food for breakfast or dinner since the surrounding area are closing pretty early.

It’s an older hotel, seems to be going through remodel. Has its small town charm to it. I would still come back to it if I was on a different trip. Staff was really friendly, and had an amazing un-interrupted view of Mount Fuji, and shoji lake. The view makes up the rest of the small things.

The staff were extremely kind and welcoming. My first experience at a traditional Japanese hotel and I was floored with how warm, friendly and helpful the staff were. You can tell they are trying to renovate as much as they can with what they have, and the common areas look lovely. The open air onsen was incredible as well. It was overall such a nice experience.

Kindness and Great Mountain Vies of Fuji Mt.

Warm welcome and wonderful view with Shoji Lake Hotel. Every staff did his best to make us at home. Their kindness and big smile including great Fuji Mt. and Shoji Lake overwhelmed the lack of facilities😄 Thanks a lot for your hospitality.

The best welcome I’ve ever had the pleasure of receiving! The view of Mt Fuji towering over the Shoji Lake is breathtaking. We had this view from our room, as well as enjoyed it from the rooftop terrace. This is such a little gem! We want to come back and stay a bit longer in this tranquility. Arigatou gozaimasu!

The room we stayed in was a traditional style Japanese room where we slept on futons. They were very comfortable, and we had full views of Mt. Fuji from our room! The staff was incredibly kind and made sure we had everything we needed. They even tracked down the local bus for us when it was running a few minutes late and gave us tea and coffee while we waited. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for something a little quieter than the hustle of places near Lake Kawaguchi.

What a beautiful hotel! Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted with hot beverage choices and the staff was so kind. There is no elevator but the staff offered to carry our bags to the room. The room was HUGE which was a very nice surprise. Beautiful tatami, even more beautiful view. Then, the outdoor onsen was a delight. It felt like we had the whole space to ourselves. We were extremely lucky and would happily book again!

Was a bit run down and dusty but for traditional Japanese floor mats they were really nice. Had a nice sitting area for viewing the lake. Staff had good English and were very accommodating since no elevator. There were a lot of hour restrictions on the sauna and bathhouse, didn't open till 3 so I was never there during the hours to use it. I just did one night which I regret as there were some clouds so never saw mount Fuji but beautiful anyways.

Super friendly staff and helpful. Owner came and greeted us himself upon checking in. Hotel older and dated however family ran and super clean. It was a great experience at a traditional ryokan. Onsen was great and open til 8 AM. Location is far from town, but accessible by local bus. Totally worth the trek, great scenery even tho we missed Mt Fuji due to fog. I guess it gives us a reason to come back. 😊

静かな精進湖に面し、屋上テラス、イートインスペース、客室からの眺めは素晴らしい。 屋上テラスは、紅葉の下で富士山と湖を堪能できるのではと思います。 最近の宿には珍しく卓球台があり、家族で楽しめました。 エレベーターがないので、宿泊の際は、スタッフの方に荷物な運搬をお願いすることができます。 外食で好きなものを食べ、朝食は無料サービスのトーストとゆで卵にコーヒー。追加の持ち込みで軽く済ませるというスタイルの方にはピッタリ。 のんびり過ごせて素晴らしい宿だと思います。
イートインスペース。夕方は、軽食の注文ができます。眺めは素晴らしい。
