Sunnide Resort Yamanashi

Love the location as it is isolated from the busy areas! Perfect for a relaxing stay with the best view of Mt Fuji from Lake Kawaguchi as there are no obstructions. Staff were friendly and attentive as well. No complaints from me and will definitely be back!

The resort is quite isolated from the busy area. In between two spur and one of the best view of Mt Fuji from the room. The resort is not new with visible sign of wear and tear but the maintenance upkeep of the resort is immaculate. Book a decent size suite that can accommodate easily 4 person with in-room Onsen tub. The best part is the direct view of Lake Fujikawaguchiko with Mt Fuji. Got a perfect weather during our stays there with clear blue skies. The breakfast as part of the package is Japanese style bento breakfast. Very good quality and delicious with view of Mt Fuji. The public Onsen is also really good with outdoor Onsen bath with view of Mt Fuji. Clean, very well maintained. The staff are also very friendly.

I have amazing experience from this hotel. The view from the room was magnificent! We booked the Grand Suite which has open air bath in the room with Mt. Fuji view. You can see Mt.Fuji reflected on the lake in the morning! Room: You can tell the room has been newly renovated with new restroom. They have many different tea bag and coffee for you to enjoy and welcome snacks. The open air bath is amazing! So glad we book the room. Yukata with different sizes are in the closet to choose from. You have your private massage chair. No complain with the room. Their public onsen also very clean with the view of the Mt. Fuji. Service: Excellent service through out the stay. We took red line bus from Kawaguchiko station to bus stop 18 around noon time. We know is not check in time so we told the reception if they can keep our luggages, and they said yes and even check us in (not getting the room key) then we went back around 2:30pm thinking to just wait in the lobby until 3pm. However the reception saw us and told us the room is ready and our luggages were all in the room already! Awesome! The restaurant service was also incredible! Very nice and attentive. Food: Dinner was delicious. We booked the steak. Make sure to book the meal plan in advance. The breakfast was just alright. Not much varieties. Hopefully they can improve their breakfast. The only downside is they do not offer shuttle bus. You have to take red line bus which cost 500 yen one way. They seems used to have this service. I’m guessing something happened that made them stop providing the service. Overall excellent experience! I will definitely come back next time.

The magnificent panorama of Mt. Fuji is a spectacular sight. This inn stands on the former villa of Duke Shimazu. Mount Fuji looks like a painting in a picture frame, and is reflected upside down on the lake surface... Sunnide Resort is located on the north shore of Lake Kawaguchi, and you can see the divine expression of the sacred mountain from everywhere, including the guest rooms, the open-air observation bath, and the front desk. Within the grounds, the "Hotel (Main Building & Western-style Building)" and "Senichikei Lakeside Villa" are each independent buildings, allowing you to spend your time peacefully with little opportunity to come into contact with guests from other buildings. The "Lakeside Villa" has a total of nine rooms, all of which are detached spaces with open-air baths and luxurious rooms of over 60m2, making it recommended for those who seek something out of the ordinary. With an unobstructed view of the panoramic view of Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko directly ahead from the high ground, this perfect location allows you to spend a quiet time surrounded by the power of nature, making it a perfect anniversary trip for a special someone.

During the Sakura blossom season, the hotels in kawaguchi is quite full and we occasionally found this gem! It’s a bit far from the station but definitely worth living!||Our room is facing the Fujiyama directly without any buildings blocking. It’s was stunning view with a comfortable room. But the hot water supply with lower water pressure was not very stable in our room. ||It has an outdoor public onsen pool, you can basically facing the Fujiyama to enjoy the onsen water. The Kawaguchi just right outside the hotel, you can see some cherry blossoms there as well.||Overall it’s a very good place with reasonable price to stay.

BIG LIED FROM HOTEL!!! I really needed to share this to everyone if you are planing to book this hotel. I had a problem with hotel since they over charged me so I tried to dispute the transaction. The bank asked me to provide the details in letter and I did. The hotel finally refused my transaction and recharge me again. I saw the letter they wrote from the bank and it was a lied. I found a bug in my room. First they didn’t say sorry and didn’t asked to checked the room but forced me to pay extra room. In the letter, the hotel said they asked to checked the room and I was refused to check my room. It was a LIED that she wrote in the letter. I cannot believe how Japanese people making such a big lied like that. I have no words but feeling so unfair and feels humiliating from this situation. Good luck if you book this hotel BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THEM PLEASE RECORD ANYTHING. Otherwise, you will be ended up like me!!! I don’t feel like visiting Japan again :(

This is one of the furthest locations away from the central bus station. It will take you 30 mins to get to the hotel. And there are no convenient stores within walking distance. There is a hill that you need to climb up to the reception with all your luggage. When staff see you carried a baby and a toddler with 3 big pieces of luggage climbing up to the reception, they decide to let you be on your own. We were extremely disappointed with the room and the breakfast. Let's talk about the room. There have been no updates for decades, very old school. Basically, I'm just putting up a wooden board with no painting as a closet for you. There is a huge price discrimination between different platforms for the same hotel. Some platforms charge you for 80k Yen per night, and some only charge >20k yen per night. Not willing to adjust the price for customers. Honestly, with this setup, it is only worth 20k Yen. The breakfast is what made me super disappointed for the whole stay. They charge you for 4290 yen for a very "western" style kind of food, but they called it japanese style. We weren't shown a photo of what the breakfast was like, and we were so disappointed with the food quality. It won't be worth more than 500 yen. They give you a few pieces of leaves with one slice of tomato. A piece of fried frozen fish. It's not worth a penny japanese like pickled veggies. A slice of ham and a mini size sausage with a sunny side up egg. It's just too bad that I didn't even want to take a photo of it. Feel free to have orange juice, grape juice, water, and milk. Two kinds of cereal, and yogurt with 3 kinds of syrups. Some frozen lychee that already turned black. That's what they called Japanese style, that charges you for 4290 yen/person. We asked for a refund for the breakfast, and the end, they were only willing to do a small percentage of discount. I didn't continue for the negotiations, not worth it, and nowhere to end it anyway. I won't stay here again, even the price per night is only 20k yen, and I definitely will never dine here.

Aside from the impeccable view, the service and quality of the restaurant was excellent as well, make sure to book the dinner service in advance via email. Had a wonderful stay.
