Reviews of Fujisan Station Hotel

This hotel is conveniently located at Fuji-san Station, making it easy to catch buses to Kawaguchiko Station. It's just a short bus ride away. It's also about a 20-minute walk to the famous Nichikawa Clock Shop, a popular photo spot. Nearby, there's a sushi restaurant called Uorokuya, which offers great value for money. The hotel also provides a shuttle bus service to Kawaguchiko Station. While the hotel facilities are basic, the breakfast is excellent value, making it a good choice for young travelers or those on a budget.

The location is super convenient, not far from Fujisan Station, and there's an amazing yakiniku restaurant nearby. Getting to Fuji-Q Highland is also a breeze with the hotel shuttle. Plus, there are buses right outside that can take you to Lake Yamanaka and Gotemba. The biggest surprise was on the second morning when I pulled back the curtains and saw Mount Fuji right before my eyes – absolutely stunning!

Fujisan Station Hotel was my accommodation choice during this Fuji trip. Located right next to Fujisan Station, it’s only a 2–3 minute walk away—extremely convenient, especially for travelers arriving via the Fujikyu Railway or the scenic limited express trains. Upon entering the room, my first impression was that the space is genuinely decent. Compared to many typical Japanese business hotels, it feels noticeably larger. I could fully open my suitcase and spread out my belongings without everything bumping into each other. After unpacking, I immediately felt more relaxed. This is especially great for self-driving travelers or those on multi-day itineraries with lots of gear. The hotel’s location is one of its biggest strengths. From the hotel entrance, it takes just 5–6 minutes on foot to reach the central area, where you’ll find convenience stores (not right next door, but very walkable) and a wide variety of izakayas and casual eateries. If you get hungry late at night, you can easily step out for food or drinks—there are plenty of options. For people who enjoy a late-night beer or casual supper, this is really convenient. The biggest pleasant surprise was my mountain-view room. The window offers a direct, unobstructed view of the complete silhouette of Mt. Fuji! On clear mornings or evenings, the mountain stands beautifully right in front of you—stunning and majestic. Lying in bed or sitting by the window to admire it felt like a real treat. While it’s not the lakeside reflection view you get at Kawaguchiko, this direct face-to-face perspective of Fuji is still incredibly satisfying. That said, I have to be honest: the overall facilities and room decor feel quite dated. Since opening around 2015, it seems there hasn’t been much renovation. The furniture, bathroom fixtures, air conditioning, lighting, and walls all carry a distinct Showa-to-early-Heisei vibe—almost zero modern design elements. Wi-Fi is stable, the bed is a Simmons (comfortable enough), but the whole place gives off a very “functional but not luxurious” feeling. One unusual point is that the hotel does not offer free breakfast (some reviews mention breakfast, but during my stay it was either vegetarian-only or charged separately). For some people this might be a downside, but personally I saw it as a plus—there are so many great local dining options nearby that I preferred going out to explore rather than being tied to a hotel buffet. Finally, the parking lot is huge and has plenty of spaces. For self-driving visitors heading to the Fuji Five Lakes area or Fuji-Q Highland, you’ll never have to worry about finding a spot. Easy in-and-out access is another practical advantage. In summary, Fujisan Station Hotel isn’t a luxurious or stylish property by any means. But if you value convenient transportation, spacious rooms, easy access to food and drinks at night, a direct view of Mt. Fuji, and ample parking, all at a reasonable price, this place is a very pragmatic and solid choice. It may feel old-fashioned, but it delivers on the essentials. Highly recommended for self-drivers or anyone who wants an uncomplicated, Fuji-facing stay with good value for money!

The triple room was really spacious and comfortable, though it was quite cold when we first entered. We immediately cranked up the air conditioning to 27 degrees Celsius on the highest fan setting and left it on all night. The location is decent, and having a free shuttle bus to Fuji-Q Highland and Kawaguchiko Station was very convenient!

Super lucky 2 nights stayed with the Mt. Fuji view room. Great location, easy to go Mt. Fuji viewpoint. I will be back! Highly recommended this hotel.

The place is picture perfect.I really love Mt.Fuji the place is so maigical.Iam very happy that Mt.Fuji is visible that day.thank you fujisan.😘😘😘

Exceptional location, you step out of the train and roll off the ramp to the hotel. On the other side of the station you can already see Mt. Fuji staring down on you. The hotel has nice rooms, more spacious than what you get in the city. The breakfast was not exceptional, but it was sufficient. Staff very polite and helpful, as is the case in all of Japan😅

Very nice environment and very friendly receptionist!! I love the surrounding of the hotel. Very close to the bus and train station.. Easy access to groceries and food.. Amazing breakfast.. The most important thing is there is free shuttle bus stop by the hotel.. Will definitely coming back again next time if there is opportunity..

We had a great view of fuji from our room. Plenty of parking space. Room is great but feels a bit outdated with only one main light (yellow). Should have more lights installed. Definitely recommend staying here

The location is great, making it easy to get around. This is our second visit within a year - we must really like it here!

Very convenient location Stuff very friendly Room is cleanliness Parking is free

Excellent . View from the room was unbelievable . Very good breakfast .

I stayed 2 nights in a room with 2 single beds, listed as 21m², but that size is definitely inaccurate. The toilet is so small you can barely turn around, and the walkway is too narrow to open two large suitcases. It’s not reliable at all — I only realized how tiny it was after moving to my next hotel in Matsumoto, where the 22m² room felt much more spacious. Very misleading information to customers. The only advantages are the free parking and included breakfast, but even that was disappointing since the dishes were the same every day. 👎👎👎

Good, I loved it.
