Breathing views / warm welcome

My husband and I visited Lake Shoji for the first time in January. It was a rainy day when we checked in so we could not see Fuji San, but the warm welcome we received made up for the lack of view, even before we checked in, a very very kind employee helped us back into our parking spot. He also took our luggage in to the lobby. The desk employee was very kind and was willing to work with our limited Japanese. The owner even gave us a cup of tea and chocolates when we first arrived they also gave us many travel itinerary suggestions for the local area. We went with a traditional Japanese style room. It was very cozy, and spacious for the two of us in the morning rewarded with a beautiful view of Mount Fuji I cannot recommend this hotel enough! Lake Shoji is the least developed of the Fuji Lakes, and unfortunately this hotel does not offer any dining options (they are working on it tho!). I highly suggest eating dinner before you check in or making sure you bring food with you.

It’s an older hotel, seems to be going through remodel. Has its small town charm to it. I would still come back to it if I was on a different trip. Staff was really friendly, and had an amazing un-interrupted view of Mount Fuji, and shoji lake. The view makes up the rest of the small things.

We enjoyed staying this property with amazing view of Mt Fuji. The owner & all the staff are very friendly & welcoming. The property facilities is a bit old but very clean. We stayed on the top floor level 4 with a beautiful view of Mt Fuji. You can enjoy the view in the enclosed terrace area. Only downside no lifts so you are expecting to climb a lot of stairs if you are staying on the 4th floor. Staff will bring the luggage to your room. I could definitely return to stay in this property again & recommend to family & friends

The staff were extremely kind and welcoming. My first experience at a traditional Japanese hotel and I was floored with how warm, friendly and helpful the staff were. You can tell they are trying to renovate as much as they can with what they have, and the common areas look lovely. The open air onsen was incredible as well. It was overall such a nice experience.

The best welcome I’ve ever had the pleasure of receiving! The view of Mt Fuji towering over the Shoji Lake is breathtaking. We had this view from our room, as well as enjoyed it from the rooftop terrace. This is such a little gem! We want to come back and stay a bit longer in this tranquility. Arigatou gozaimasu!

We came to Shoji Lake Hotel for a quiet evening, hoping to catch a view of Mount Fuji. It was cloudy, so no luck there, but the stay was awesome. The staff was super friendly, helpful, and gave us great info. The bus stops right in front of the hotel, and the view of the lake is amazing. Plus, there’s a cool ghost village nearby that used to be a key military crossing.

Was a bit run down and dusty but for traditional Japanese floor mats they were really nice. Had a nice sitting area for viewing the lake. Staff had good English and were very accommodating since no elevator. There were a lot of hour restrictions on the sauna and bathhouse, didn't open till 3 so I was never there during the hours to use it. I just did one night which I regret as there were some clouds so never saw mount Fuji but beautiful anyways.

What a beautiful hotel! Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted with hot beverage choices and the staff was so kind. There is no elevator but the staff offered to carry our bags to the room. The room was HUGE which was a very nice surprise. Beautiful tatami, even more beautiful view. Then, the outdoor onsen was a delight. It felt like we had the whole space to ourselves. We were extremely lucky and would happily book again!

The room we stayed in was a traditional style Japanese room where we slept on futons. They were very comfortable, and we had full views of Mt. Fuji from our room! The staff was incredibly kind and made sure we had everything we needed. They even tracked down the local bus for us when it was running a few minutes late and gave us tea and coffee while we waited. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for something a little quieter than the hustle of places near Lake Kawaguchi.

Perfect stay for seclusion.

The place is so beautiful, with the view of Mt. Fuji and lake Shoji. The room is spacious and has a dedicated balcony. The only disadvantage is that the location is rural and has no much access to public transportation. The bus took almost 3hours to arrive to. Taxi or drive your own car is the best option when staying in this hotel. It would be better if the hotel has a shuttle service that picks up and drop off guests from/to Kawaguchiko Station.
