Resort inn Sakanoshita

Whilst the owners are pleasant and helpful, this is more akin to a Hostel than an Inn. We were expected to eat in our room with no chair yet there was a large Dining Room. My wife asked if we could use and the owners did say yes. Nobody around at check in time or departure. Not in the centre of town but a food store not far away. One of our worst stays in our 5 weeks in Asia although, as I say, the owners were pleasant.

Cleaner, staff be there, make tea and coffee available.

Great facility, wonderful hosts!! Would recommend

Owner super friendly!

Booking.com said there was breakfast but none was provided

We had an amazing stay! The location was perfect for catching sunrise over the bridge. The room was warm, clean, and comfy. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. Our host was so sweet, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I can't wait to stay again!

Very friendly and helpful owner

The owners were very nice and helped us with everything we needed. Very fast communication. The heater worked very well and the location is excellent, near a big market. The beds are japanese style, so be aware that they can be a little hard for some people.

Room was big and comfortable. With free coffee and tea. Owners were also accommodating and speaks in english good. We went in Kawaguchiko during the Mt. Fuji International Marathon which is a super busy season. We booked another hotel before the marathon and booked with Sakanoshita just after the marathon. After our marathon, we had a hard time getting a taxi to transfer to Sakanoshita and the owner was kind enough to picked us up at our previous hotel. The owner also drop us off to the train station the following day.

Water at the common sink area at 2nd floor has no heating power, it was so cold. The location is also a bit far from the station and if you have luggage, this could be uncomfortable. Nevertheless, the owners are accommodating, and picking up and dropping off to the train station could be pre-arranged.

The two staff members are lovely, friendly, and very helpful 🥰. The accommodation features Japanese-style sleeping with futons on the floor, offering a simple and cozy atmosphere 🏯. The room is spacious and comfortable, providing plenty of space for relaxation 🛋️. While the bathroom is shared, it can be used privately, ensuring a good level of privacy 🚿. There is also convenient parking available for guests traveling by car 🚗.

Travel Considerations: Walking to the accommodation might be a bit inconvenient as it is located about 1.6 km from the train station 🚶‍♂️💼. Dragging heavy luggage could be quite tiring, so it’s something to consider 🛤️🧳. It may be more convenient to arrange transportation, such as a taxi or other ride services 🚖. Shuttle Service: The accommodation provides a shuttle service to and from the train station 🚐. However, it is important to arrange the service in advance to ensure timely pick-up and avoid any delays 🕒📞. Planning ahead will make your journey smoother, especially if you have heavy luggage or are arriving during off-peak hours 😊.

Fantastic. Ran by a local family that goes above and beyond to provide a wonderful experience. The whole Kawaguchiko area is stunning. Dining options within 3 min walking distance. I loved it here!!
