Das Hotel Kawaguchiko hat uns sehr gut gefallen, vorallem das sehr feine japanische Frühstück!
Pros:

Das Hotel Kawaguchiko ist ein super Hotel. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage am Kawaguchiko See ist herrlich. Das geschlechtergetrennte Onsen bietet einen wunderbaren Blick auf den Mount Fuji. Auch gibt es ein Observatorium, um den Mount Fuji zu bestaunen. Es gibt einen Billard-Tisch. Der Höhepunkt war das japanische Frühstück, das mit viel Liebe vorbereitet wird und sehr sehr lecker ist.

Cons:

Es gibt nichts Negatives zu sagen.

Perfect days with the best view
Pros:

Everything, we loved the place and the retro atmosphere, our Japanese room was big and comfortable, with a beautiful view. The Japanese breakfast was delicious and the staff was speaking English and always very kind. We loved the public bath and being so close to the lake, we would have happily stayed longer and surely would recommend to someone who likes a bit of a traditional yet personal and elegant touch.

Cons:

At the breakfast restaurant you don't have coffee, but you can take it before or after in the lobby Cafe, which also has cakes. Also the restaurant is not open for lunch or dinner which is a pity as the view is so pretty, but you have several options for food around and take away.

Pros:

The staff was very kind and attentive. The exprience of public onsen.

Cons:

The hotel needs to be refreshed. ASAP. It is old and worn out place. We stayed there only one night and we did not feel comfortable there. Our room, walls, broken closet, old toilet did not make our stay comfotable. But it was only one night.

Pros:

המלון מאד ישן, אבל יש בו קסם. הצוות מבוגר, מדברים שם בטלפון עתיק שאפילו בשוק פשפשים לא תמצאו, אבל אפשר למצוא במלון חוויה יפנית אמיתית. ישנו בחדר בסגנון יפני, מזרונים על הריצפה וכיסאות נמוכים עם נוף מדהים לאגם. (יש גם חדרים רגילים) ארוחת הבוקר יפנית מסורתית, טעימה ומאד מעניינת. יש במלון אונסן למי שאוהב, ותצפית להר פוג'י. יש גם מכונות כביסה ומייבשים.. אבל בעיקר יש יחס מיוחד וחוויה יוצאת דופן.
