Top 10 Chimney Hotels

I opted for a two-meal option and would recommend this place to everyone; I think it's quite good value for money. However, there's no shower in the room, so you have to go to the public bathhouse to shower, and then you can soak in the hot spring. If you don't like soaking in the hot spring with a group, they have private bathhouses available for booking at 3500 yen per hour. I recommend them to everyone.

A very historic inn, although there are traces of history, it is not dilapidated at all! It's like traveling to an Edo period! The person in charge of taking care of it is an elderly grandmother, but very classical Japanese lady style, speaking very gentle and hospitable and polite! Even though I don't know Japanese, I can feel their friendliness! The hotel offers a private open-air bath, and a family-style hot spring, we opted for the open-air private bath, which is a great environment! It feels like this hotel is more Japanese than the kind in Lake Kawaguchi, and definitely worth recommending! 👍

I initially thought it might be a bit old from the outside, but the interior was incredibly clean and well-maintained. The hot spring facilities were especially fantastic; I went in both morning and evening. My parents were also very pleased with the breakfast. While it's a bit difficult to get to without a car, there were hardly any foreign tourists, and the staff were very friendly, which made our stay very pleasant. The souvenir shop on the second floor of the hotel also had a great selection of interesting items. Thanks to this hotel, our trip to Japan was truly enjoyable.

I stayed at Awashima Hotel, located on an island, after arriving at Narita Airport on 17th Nov 25. The transfer took about three hours, but the journey was absolutely worth it. The hotel was clean, well-maintained, and offered breathtaking views of Mount Fuji and the ocean. The staff were courteous and helpful throughout my stay, with special thanks to the female manager who went above and beyond to provide additional support (e.g. taxi booking to Numazu Metro station). Although dinner service could have been extended to guests without reservations, the overall experience was excellent. My three days and two nights felt far too short, and I would highly recommend Awashima Hotel to travelers seeking a relaxing and welcoming stay in Japan.

The service was excellent! A ********* guy at the front desk even escorted us to our room and explained everything. The weather was beautiful on the day we checked in, and we had a great view of Mount Fuji from our room. The hotel is divided into the main building and an annex. Guests from both buildings can use the outdoor onsen in the main building. All in-house guests stay in the annex, which has 24 rooms, each facing Mount Fuji. Soaking in the onsen at the annex at night felt almost like a private bath, as there were hardly any people around. Both dinner and breakfast were Kaiseki meals, which made the experience feel very special. There's a shuttle bus service to and from Odawara, but you need to book it early on the official website to get your preferred time, as it's shared with the Prince Hotel next door, and they have a lot of guests. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.

The hotel has a history of more than 100 years. Regardless of whether you have to worry about the hotel’s brand new decoration, the hotel is quiet and has all-day services, and each room has a dedicated person responsible for the service. The Japanese breakfast arranged by the hotel makes you even want to eat lunch. Dinner is very good, it is the standard of kaiseki cuisine, which really surprised us, because it is usually difficult to order kaiseki cuisine in Japan with children. The pure Japanese-style tatami is suitable for children's needs to roll around at any time. Soaking in the semi-outdoor hot spring in the room, you can see Mount Fuji and the sea view. The scenery is pleasant. At night, listening to the sound of the waves and falling asleep, the waves hit the shore like a lullaby. When the hotel goes out, turn right and walk 1 minute to the Izu Mitsu Aquarium. Dolphin shows one after another, you can watch penguins up close, and you can also buy fish tickets to feed dolphins and sea lions. The price is also very reasonable. A dolphin is 500 yen, and there is a bait from a gashapon to feed other fish. Since it was built near the sea, it is also a great place to see Mount Fuji. Going out of the hotel and turning left is 7-11. It is also very good to buy some ice cream and come to the hot spring. The hotel has a shuttle bus to Izu Nagaoka Station. If you want to go to other places, there are two bus stops in front of the hotel, which can reach Numazu City or Nagaoka Station, which is very convenient. The hotel goes down the stairs and is a beach. It is very convenient for children to play in the water. After playing well, they can wash their feet at the entrance of the hotel. The waiter will wait for you with a foot towel on the side. Let me mention that there is a fishing port not far from the hotel. The fishery association’s restaurant offers fresh fish sashimi and fried fish, which is very good. I will definitely come again next winter to see Mount Fuji in winter. This hotel also has a name, the impeccable hotel on Mount Fuji, which is definitely well-deserved. Give you some photos, the buyer show and the seller show are absolutely the same. I hope everyone will have a good memory after moving in like me

You may be able to see the beautiful city view. The nearest convenience store is a 7-8 minute walk away. The top floor is a large bathing area and the floor is a bit slippery, so the elderly should be careful when walking. The door of the outdoor hot spring can be easily locked. The outdoor hot spring is dark and the stones can easily scratch your hands. The most praiseworthy thing is the private hot spring, which has a beautiful and high-end environment.
