Perfect view of Mt.Fuji right in front of the property…. The Japanese style room also very nice and give you a traditional experience while staying in Japan. There is bicycle rental shop next door (3 mins walking distance), so you can get around the lake with bicycle comfortably.

There was a bit of mould in the bathroom.

They gave us a free upgrade to the room with a lake and Mt. Fuji view on the first night. Friendly staff and a short walk to the centre.

Closeness to everything

Excellent facility, the set up is so relaxed, the owner is sooo cool. We fed the couple of swans and a few ducks that were out on the waterfront, the view is out of this world. We drove and the parking was easy to negotiate the location position it is not noisy and you can hear the water birds and other birds chirping. As the name says (ZEN) it truely is. Also the convenience store is only about 8 minutes walk away. Coming back from the store we visited a shrine that was having its annual summer festivities, kids were doing a Sumo fight next to the temple, the staff at the temple were inviting, also the men of the town were carrying a traditional Japanese float around the town then back to temple, up the stairs under Tori gate and to the front of the temple, ( the float is very heavy so is fun to see the guys struggling, but they get it up there. Its a once in a lifetime chance to see traditional Japanese culture.

A perfect stay that far exceeded our expectations! Waking up in the morning and opening the door to see Mount Fuji—what an incredibly joyful feeling! The hotel was spotlessly clean and tidy, simple yet full of style. The shared spaces were spacious and very comfortable. Outside the guesthouse were beautiful maple trees and wildflowers—the surroundings were even more stunning than the photos on the official website. It’s just a few minutes’ walk to Hirano Beach, which was super convenient, and also very close to the bus stop. A five-star experience!

Perfect location for Fuji sightseeing during sunrise

The other guests slamming cupboards in the kitchen and being noisy happened on the two nights we were there.

The peaceful serenity. Beautiful atmosphere. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see mt Fuji due to rain we made a day visiting Hakone which was beautiful none the less.

Not necessarily a bad thing but it is on the further end of the lake, which can be tricky to get to without a car and being dependent on the bus.

Great spot for viewing Mount Fuji, nice room and shared facilities. Small guest house so we never really saw the other guests when using the facilities. Close to some shops and bus stop

If the weather is bad, not worth staying here because there's nothing to do in the town and it's far away from most food places even though there's a 7/11. The staff didn't really explain anything to us except give us the key and that's it.

Probably the most beautiful view from a hotel I've had. If there's no clouds, it's truly worth the money because you will see Fuji in all its glory.

So glad I decided to stay here as the place was very cozy and immediately made us feel at home. The location is very nice and is located right on the lake. It was snowing when we stayed so we couldn’t see mt Fuji but was very pretty regardless.

The bath towel texture :( Hopefully change the bath towel to the standard hotel towel.

Amazing view of Mt.Fuji from our room! Very clean house, comfy futon! Definitely I will come back here!

Shared spaces could be a little cleaner but that’s just me being fussy.

Excellent location, beautiful views and just really lush vibes. 7/11 just a short walk away for any snacks you might want 😂
