Hotel Fuji

The buffet meals were all delicious, including steak, tempura, and sushi, some of which were freshly prepared right in front of us—very satisfying! Although the facility is old, it was well-maintained and clean. We enjoyed playing table tennis but wished we could continue after check-out. The parking lot was far and difficult to locate; we had to get out of the car at the entrance and wait in line at the front desk to ask for directions. If there are no staff available for guidance, a signboard would be helpful. The large public bath was spacious, but the number of hairdryers felt insufficient for its size.

We stayed in Kiyosumi with six people across three generations. [What we liked] - The Room was very spacious, and even with six of us we could relax comfortably. - The bath was right next to the Room, so we could go anytime on a whim. Plus, the Room had both a hinoki bath and an open-air bath, so we really enjoyed soaking. - The meals offered a wide variety of dishes, everything tasted great, and we had no complaints. [What was disappointing] - At check-in there were too few staff at the front desk, so no one greeted us, and the explanation felt quite rushed (other service during our stay was very polite and excellent). - The Room was hot, and when we tried to adjust the air conditioning, it turned out to be centrally controlled for the whole building and wouldn’t blow cool air. Because of hay fever we couldn’t open the windows either, so it was an uncomfortably hot night. - Next to the Room is a local road; because the wooden fence is low with gaps between boards, neon signs from bars and car headlights were clearly visible. Also, voices from outside could be heard clearly from the open-air bath in the Room, which took away from the atmosphere—we wanted more of an escape from everyday life.
