Hotel Analysis
Based on 3 sites · 74 reviews
Minsuku Hougetsu in Fujikawaguchiko is an old traditional minshuku-style lodging. The most common mention in guest reviews is the Mt. Fuji view right from the room. The mountain visible through the window is impressive.
Reviews across booking sites repeatedly praise the spacious rooms with traditional tatami and futon bedding. It's near the bus stop for easy access, and the family-run hospitality stands out, with stories of staff driving guests to the station in the rain.
However, some complaints note the place feels dark and smelly due to age. Shared bathrooms, shower time limits, and winter heating issues are mentioned. It's suitable for budget travelers seeking Fuji views.
