forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 3.77 out of 5 (671 reviews). Many guests describe spectacular views of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi from the rooms and the open-air bath, and while some feel the facilities show their age, reviews frequently note that everything is kept clean and comfortable to use. One review mentions being glad that contact lens care products could be bought at the shop. On the other hand, some guests point out that the dinner buffet is underwhelming.

Overview
Tominoko Hotel Kawaguchiko stands at one of Lake Kawaguchi's finest viewpoints for Mount Fuji. Many of its 92 rooms are twin rooms on the Mount Fuji and lake side, and the large windows also frame Sakasa-Fuji, the upside-down reflection of Mount Fuji on the lake. The communal bath with views uses natural onsen water from the Fujikawaguchiko Onsen-kyo hot spring area, so you can soak while looking out at Mount Fuji. Every guest room has a shower room.
