Top hotels in Central
Dormy Inn Kofu Natural Hot Spring
Fabulous indoor/outdoor onsen baths open long hours (with snacks after!). Reception decor was tired and staff tired too. Otherwise friendly vibe, short walk to station. Good value and I would return.

Toyoko Inn Fuji Kawaguchiko Ohashi
I really appreciate the shuttle bus driver and the lady that greeted us at the front of the hotel. Once we got to Kwawguichiko Station, we are exhausted and overwhelmed but as soon as we headed to the shuttle bus our driver took our suitcase and we felt safe and taken care of. Check-in was very smooth ...

HOTEL MYSTAYS Fuji Onsen Resort
We booked the Fuji View Room — great location! It’s only a 10-minute bus ride to the visitor shuttle bus station. The onsen was wonderful. After 3–4 days of sightseeing in Japan, my feet were pretty sore, and the onsen helped a lot.
