Kofu Kai Zenkoji Temple Hotels

"Hoshinoya Fuji is just so beautiful and serene. We stayed for two nights and had the most comfortable bed we slept in during our long trip to Japan. Service was very quick and gracious, always there to book a cab for us (no uber in this area) or bring us an in-room curry at the last minute. Donald hooked us up with amazing recommendations for hiking Mt Fuji and Aokigahara Forest. The breakfast and dinner prepared by the hotel were plentiful and delicious. The walls in our room were a little dirty seemingly from people’s suitcases rubbing against them but overall the room was absolutely incredible with a stunning view of Mt Fuji, very quiet and comfortable. There were also outdoor backpacks to rent for free that had things like binoculars, cushions, and little fig/granola type bars in them, which was great so that we didn’t have to use our travel backpacks! Our favorite feature of this hotel was the patio set up with had a table on it flanked by large cushions and lined with a heated blanket that we fell asleep sitting at the first night! It is the size of a bed and just as comfortable/warm, but outside!! We loved it! The only things we would change are 1) the shower - it’s a handheld in a bathtub that makes it really easy to spray water all over the bathroom if you’re not careful… maybe just add a normal shower head? The pressure and temperature were great though. And 2) an outdoor hot tub! 😆 Thanks for a great stay, Hoshinoya! "

"Simply fantastic :)"

"Venetian styled oasis! Glorious baths in your hotel room with epic views of Mt. Fuji. Free shuttle rides to Kawaguchiko station daily. Amazing private baths with different styles that you can use for free without reservation. Free snacks, wine, coffee/tea, and late night ramen. What else can you ask for? 10/10"

"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. "

"After a few rainy days in Tokyo, we arrived at this hotel still under grey skies, and with not much hope of seeing Mt. Fuji. Hiowever, on opening the curtains the next morning...Wow!! What a site! The view of Fuji from our room was stunning, magnificent! The room was nice an big, although perhaps a little dated (some USB ports would be nice!), but overall, can't complain! We took advantage of the hotel shuttle bus into town, which is very useful, although could be more frequent than once an hour, and has to be pre-booked during busy hours (early morning etc). Additionally, the final service back from town is 19:45, which means there's not really an opportunity to experience the restaurants in Fujikawaguchiko unless you get a taxi back. But to be honest, I would have happily walked back to the hotel to see that view!"

"This is the small hotel that they use the exterior for the Netflix drama series “ Hot Spot”. The interior is much more spacious than what we see in the TV show. It is located in the remote area and it’s inconvenient for shopping, etc. However, it is an advantage for people who want to avoid the hassle of overtourism in the Mt. Fuji area. The room was newly renovated and the bedding was very comfortable. We didn’t eat at their restaurant, but they have a fridge in the room, so we brought our food and had cozy time enjoying the view of Mt.Fuji from our window. "
