Kai Hotel Guide - Yamagata Shrine hotels in Kai, Japan.

"Amazing staff, clean rooms, excellent food, and beautiful views of Lake Kawaguchi and Mt. Fuji"

"Very spacious and clean room, staff was friendly."

"We stayed in the Annex two buildings down, not in the hotel. We had a group of 4 so wanted a larger space for everyone. There were two beds and two futons, plus a couch. Both the beds and futons were extremely hard and none of slept at all. We were also woken up at 8am by construction on the building which we were not notified in advance of. We had a kaiseki dinner at the hotel the first night which was just ok. The staff did not explain anything about what we were eating and seemed uncomfortable talking with foreigners. We ate a lot of what we didnt know what we were eating and it seemed to be more about varying textures than taste. We did not get the breakfast or use the onsens. We did get a massage that spa which was very nice however with the hard beds, I feel like it was cancelled out. There is no view of fuji but can see the lake from the private entrance. It was fully stocked with housewares, two bathrooms, one shower and an overly large cedar bathtub that we did not use. "

"It is an old hotel but a very well kept hotel. The Japanese style rooms was a great experience for my friends and family. Amazing view from our rooms and throughout the hotel of Mount Fuji. Beautiful hostel grounds to walk around and very peaceful. "

"Our stay at La Vista Fujikawaguchiko was wonderful. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. They also provide pajamas/loungewear, which were extremely comfortable and a nice extra touch. We loved having a balcony with a beautiful view of Mount Fuji, especially in the morning and at sunset. The onsen and public baths were relaxing, and we especially enjoyed the private onsens as well. The location was peaceful and quiet, with gorgeous scenery all around. I highly recommend taking advantage of the hotel shuttle service to get to and from Kawaguchiko Station, as getting Ubers was more difficult than not, especially for a larger group. The nearest FamilyMart and 7-Eleven are about a mile away, so the breakfast buffet is definitely worth adding to your stay. There was a wide variety of options, and it was a great way to start the day before heading out. The staff were warm, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay. Honestly, this was the best stay of all the places we visited in Japan. We would definitely stay at La Vista Fujikawaguchiko again."

"Convinient and good location"

"Good breakfast menu"

"I'm sorry to say that this experience was not at all what we expected. The lobby is beautiful, however the rooms show signs of significant deterioration (water damage). The bathrooms are old and use water from the hotspring - though commendable from an eco perspective this means smelly showers (sulfur) which is an unpleasant experience. The staff were very kind, however training needs improvement as the service was disjointed and awkward. Last but not least our "balcony" room overlooked the roadway and several dilapidated buildings used for staff parking. I can deeply appreciate the historical significance of the location, however the facilities are not worth the price and require significant investment to bring them up to standard. "
