Wakakusa no Yado Maruei

I had always seen Mt. Fuji from afar, but the sheer grandeur of seeing it up close—its vast foothills spreading out below—was truly magnificent. The stairs were a little scary, but the panoramic view from the rooftop and the open-air bath at dusk were very relaxing. The Room had large windows that created a wonderful sense of openness, and the full futon set was very comfortable to sleep on, helping me recover from travel fatigue. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, with refined and gentle flavors. If it were possible to choose options such as fewer dishes for dinner through a Plan, I would appreciate it even more. The small flower arrangements in the hallway and the scented sachets in the Room gave a charming atmosphere of a classic Japanese Ryokan. The quietness of the lake was also very calming. It was my first time at Lake Kawaguchi, and while it was truly beautiful, I was surprised by how many overseas visitors there were—more than I had imagined—and I couldn’t help wondering whether overtourism might become an issue. Thank you very much.

All staff were very courteous and provided wonderful hospitality. Dinner served in the Room was delicious, and we were able to relax and enjoy it at our own pace. The view of Mt. Fuji from the rooftop was truly moving. We also enjoyed a walk along Lake Kawaguchi right in front of the Accommodation, and strolled as far as nearby Asama Shrine—walking while looking at Mt. Fuji was a delight. The Onsen was very pleasant, with the perfect temperature for me. I accidentally left something behind at the end of our stay, but you responded immediately and even sent it to my home—thank you so much, and I’m truly sorry for the trouble.It’s an Accommodation I would love to stay at again. Congratulations to the proprietress on celebrating your 77th birthday, and please keep up the great work for many years to come.
