HOTEL MYSTAYS Fuji Onsen Resort
Spacious and clean room facing Mt Fuji. Breakfast without any change of menu, as we were there for 3n so all 3 breakfast menus are the same. Front staff is friendly however timing and direction given was not all accurate.

Perfect place to stay. Its so clean, the staff is friendly, there is free shuttle by the hotel to/from Kawaguchiko station every 10 mins which takes literally 2 mins. Breakfast is included, very close to the kawaguchi lake. Highly recommended.
