Shimo-yoshida Hotels

"Great location, easy to access Fuji Q. Restaurants at resort are decent, not the best feature. Many restaurants within walking distance."

"Chose this hotel ostensibly for views of Mount Fuji and the onsen facilities. While Fuji was hiding behind clouds for two days (nothing anyone can do about the weather!) we were able to see the mountain on the morning we left. We had a room on the (Japanese) 3rd floor, but Fuji was still fully visible. The hotel made a lovely change from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and set in a quiet location. The room was spacious (twice, if not three times the size of the room we had in Asakusa in Tokyo!). The hotel is a little far from the train station to walk, but the hotel shuttle service helps get you to and from the station at specific times of the day. Pick not before 3pm. You can ask the tourist info office staff at the train station to call your hotel when you arrive. Info office open 9am to 5pm. The hotel is very much in the style of Japanese resort hotel, once you are there you can unwind and slow down with a nice onsen experience. The shop in the lobby sells lots of lovely omiyage/local products. Double rooms are on floors 2 to 5, floors 6 and above are for more than two people occupancy. The Japanese breakfast was excellent, as was the kaiseki dinner. Excellent value compared to what you would pay for the equivalent experience in the UK. The hotel staff were super helpful and polite, definitely model examples of Japanese customer service. They cater well for non-Japanese speakers, if you speak English or Mandarin Chinese, not sure about other languages."

"Quite pleasant stay with a view of Fuji Mountain right from the window. The hotel has shuttle bus to send the guests to the bus station. "

"Even though it probably wasn’t the best for my son and I, this is a great Hotel. We just needed a place to crash before and after climbing Mt. Fuji. This place is for families and older folks. I was drawn in by the thermal Onsen and hopefully a spa day. Post climb massage etc. Staff had zero clue as to what we needed. We walked the beautiful gardens and enjoyed Fuji sites from the Hotel, but no massage. No desire to Onsen with my kid. Brunch was nice. Bus couldn’t come fast enough to get us away from families. Was told to try the Udon but everything but Dennys was closed or full of a bus-load of kids was unloading into it. Outdoor patio was vacant. "

"Very comfortable hotel in a decent location. "

"Brilliant place, amazing service and great experience overall. 100% recommend "
