Lake Kawaguchi SettingSet in Asakawa near Lake Kawaguchi, convenient for classic Fuji area sightseeing.

Hot Spring BathsNatural onsen facilities are a core draw, including relaxing public bath options.

Private Bath OptionPrivate bath availability adds flexibility for couples or guests wanting more privacy.

Easy Station AccessAbout five minutes by car from Kawaguchiko Station, with pickup noted by some listings.

Fuji Area ViewsThe setting is known for scenic lake-and-mountain surroundings in the Fuji Five Lakes area.

Good Sightseeing BaseWell placed for Kawaguchiko attractions and convenient access to Fujikyu Highland.

Recommended stay1-2 nightsLake Kawaguchiko scenery and the ryokan’s baths are the main draw, so one night works for check-in, dinner, evening bath, breakfast, and a lakeside stroll; two nights make sense if you want a slower Kawaguchiko day for the ropeway, museums, or weather flexibility for Fuji views.

Trip-planning verdict: Best as a 1-2 night Kawaguchiko stay for lake scenery, onsen downtime, and nearby sightseeing; weaker for travelers needing a dense urban base or effortless walking access.

Know before booking

Not station-sideFree shuttle helps, but arrival before shuttle hours or heavy luggage days are less convenient than staying near Kawaguchiko Station.

Easy to overstayGood for a short scenic break, but the immediate area is better for a compact Kawaguchiko stay than a long regional base.

Private bath confusionRoom and bath listings can be inconsistent on some booking sites, so confirm whether you booked an in-room bath or a reservable private bath.

Useful access points Stations, stops, airports and practical travel advice.

Best way to arrive The easiest arrival is usually to reach Kawaguchiko Station first, then use the hotel's shuttle during its operating hours or take a short taxi ride with luggage. If you arrive outside shuttle hours, the nearby Azagawa/Asakawa Onsen area bus stop can be useful, but service is best checked locally.

Haneda Airportairport
91 kmOta, Tokyo, Japannot practical directly except by private car over a long distancetypically several hours via Tokyo and Kawaguchiko; exact route varies

Narita International Airportairport
149 kmNarita, Chiba, Japannot practical directly except by private car over a long distancetypically longer than Haneda, often several hours via Tokyo and Kawaguchiko
Useful mainly for international arrivals with fixed flight choices, but usually a longer overall transfer than Haneda. Consider only if flight timing or price is better for your trip.

5 reasons to choose this ryokan best points

Lake Kawaguchi sceneryThe hotel sits by Lake Kawaguchi, and several room types emphasize lake views. This gives the stay a calmer, more scenic feel than properties set back from the waterfront.
Good-value onsen stayYou get a genuine hot-spring hotel setup with large public baths, an open-air garden bath, and a private bath option without needing to book one of the area’s most expensive ryokans. That makes it appealing for travelers who want the ryokan atmosphere at a more approachable price point.
Buffet plans with drinks includedIts newer buffet-style meal setup is practical for mixed groups because guests can choose what they like rather than commit to a fixed kaiseki dinner. The inclusion of beverages during meals adds extra convenience and can improve overall value.
Useful station shuttleA free shuttle connects Kawaguchiko Station and the hotel, which helps a lot if you arrive with luggage or do not plan to drive. It makes this hillside-lakeside location easier to manage than it first appears on the map.
Traditional rooms and relaxed paceThe property offers a classic Japanese-style stay with tatami-style room options and a more old-school ryokan-hotel atmosphere. It suits travelers who want something more local and less chain-like around the Fuji Five Lakes area.

5 reasons not to choose this ryokan watch-outs

Not a luxury-modern ryokanIf you want polished high-end design, premium in-room amenities, or a boutique-luxury feel, Hotel Koryu may feel dated rather than refined. The appeal here is more classic and practical than glamorous.
Shuttle hours are limitedThe free pickup from Kawaguchiko Station only operates in a defined afternoon window, and morning return times are fixed. That can be inconvenient if your arrival or departure does not line up well.
Private bath costs extraThe reservable private bath is not included by default and requires an additional fee plus advance booking. Couples or privacy-focused travelers may find that less convenient than hotels with free private baths or in-room onsen.
Meals need planning aheadYou cannot simply add dinner after check-in, so spontaneous travelers have less flexibility. If your travel day is uncertain, this setup can be awkward compared with hotels that allow same-day meal decisions.
Less convenient on foot than central optionsAlthough the setting is attractive, it is not the most effortless base for travelers who want to walk everywhere from the station area. Depending on your plans, you may rely more on shuttle timing, buses, or taxis.

Current position: 23rd out of 68 ryokans in Yamanashi.
