Kawaguchiko Lakeside Hotel
9,2/10 Exceptional - Based on 313 reviews
Perched in the heart of a landscape where Lake Kawaguchiko seems to whisper legends to the majestic Mount Fuji, this ryokan in Fujikawaguchiko embodies the perfect balance between tradition and serenity. The hot springs, true sanctuaries for the mind and body, invite one to a mystical pause, while every space breathes Japanese hospitality, where every detail is a promise of tranquility.
Harmoniously arranged, the rooms offer a total immersion in the essence of Japan. Whether adorned with tatami or equipped with modern comforts, they open onto enchanting views of Mount Fuji, guaranteeing a memorable stay under the sign of contemplation and rest.
An ode to the pleasures of the senses, the establishment’s restaurant captures the soul of Japanese cuisine, with dishes prepared with art, catering to a variety of diets. Nearby, cafes and restaurants offer other flavors, enriching each day with a hint of gastronomic discoveries.
Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
4/10 Nice effort in layout but a strong Western influence dominates the architecture. The cuisine seems okay but lacks the sought-after authenticity. The baths are present without particular distinction, and the rooms mix modern and traditional styles, offering limited immersion.
