Rakuyu Reviews

Everything was great but a slope needed to climb to get in the hotel. The private bath was wonderful with view of kawaguchiko which you can see in the room as well. The iced beer and some snacks were Recommended during the private bath.

Rakuyu is a beautiful hotel with amazing views. The hospitality is great, the rooms are big, cosy and comfortable. The breakfast spread while relatively small, serves quality food. The public bath is clean and a must-try. Only thing to note is that it's quite a steep walk to the hotel. Other than that, our stay was fabulous!

The place was peaceful and quiet. They provided good breakfast,afternoon tea and cocktails to all the guests, that was surprise us , we enjoyed the view and environment of the hotel, the great view of Fuji mountain and the lake were totally refreshed me. The hot spring was cleanse and the view of the hot springs area were very relaxing

The hotel is located on a high ground, without a private car it will be hassle to carry the luggages up there. I paid a room for ¥87,720 per night (accommodate 4 persons) wishing to have a spacious and comfortable room. The room I had was simply a double room with 2 futons. If only had I knew, I'd have booked 2 double rooms instead so you don't have to be overcrowded in one room. Breakfast and food in the lounge was limited. No refills when they run out, so you should be the first comer for that.

The hotel is a once a lifetime experience. The hotel is located on top of a steep hill next to the tourist site Ropeway. If you miss the shuttle bus and arrive at night, the walk up the hill can be physically demanding especially during winter with tree barks scattered and no lighting. But after we survive the physical journey, the hotel is really a must visit gem. The view from the room is amazing. Every room faces the lake. The room is traditional Japanese room with nice tatami mats and buckwheat quality pillow. The highlight has to be the breakfast and the onsen. The breakfast and dinner need to be reserved in advance (must include breakfast when you book the room). Food is fresh and chef quality. The onsen faces the lake so is really special experience. You can also visit the ropeway in the morning. Service is also excellent. The team is responsive and also helped us order dinner as there are no food nearby. Overall this is a must visit hotel for anyone who wants authentic Japanese experience and next to the lake. The breakfast and onsen is also a must when you are there.

Quite a bit of walk from kawaguchiko station and the slope up is very steep (maybe a 45 degrees incline). Quite dark too at night. Recommend to drive, otherwise be prepared for a workout just to get up. But the lake view from the room is great and it’s close to the attractions by the lake

a very good hotel with good view and vibe

Many thanks to the hotel for our vacation! The case when reality is better than expectations! We managed to have a great rest here: watch the sunset in yukatas in a spacious room overlooking a magnificent lake framed by green hills. We were very pleasantly surprised that we, as guests, were provided with a free breakfast and the day before we also had a cocktail evening: a variety of snacks, soup, seafood, chips, cheese, fruit, etc., as well as a free bar collection of drinks, ice, lime, lemon, etc. you can make your own cocktail or just pour some wine. It was wonderful! Before bed I went to the public onsen and was there alone :) I enjoyed sitting in the hot spring after a long walk. There was also the opportunity to go to the sauna (but I'm not a fan). After a delicious dinner and a hot spring, I slept well in a cozy bed. The room is quiet (+ there is an additional door to the hallway and room), comfortable sleeping accessories. In the morning we had a gorgeous view of the lake and a great breakfast! I would like to express my deep gratitude to the hotel staff for this experience.

The hotel is more traditional There is no elevator to reach the floor, but it is only four floors. The considerate service staff will help you deliver your luggage to your room. Provide breakfast, afternoon tea and light snack services They are great The only drawback is that the hotel is halfway up the mountain, which is very troublesome if you don’t have a car🤣 By the way... there is a shuttle service❤️

Overall it's good. The hotel is located on the mountain, but you may not be able to see Mount Fuji. The room we stayed in did not have a view of Mount Fuji. The hotel has free private baths. Very comfortable

The hotel is right next to the Kawaguchiko cable car. The lake view is good. The service is warm. There are public and private hot springs (private baths are charged separately). The hotel is a certain age and the facilities are slightly older and very Japanese-style. There is a shuttle bus to and from Kawaguchiko Station every day from 9 am to 11 am and in the afternoon. You can contact the hotel for transfer from 2 to 9 o'clock. The only drawback is that if you walk to the hotel, you need to climb a mountain road halfway up the mountain. When the staff saw the meeting, they rushed to help with the luggage. If you originally planned to walk up the mountain, this section is okay. You can walk up the mountain from here. Entrance

I stayed there on a trip to Kawaguchiko... It was a place where you can feel like a Japanese ryokan. In addition, the hot springs were nice. It was a shame that there were no good places to eat nearby.

The hotel rooms are clean and comfortable, the service is attentive, the booking process is quick and easy, and the price is affordable. Very satisfied!

The environment is first-class, the room is very clean, the food is of good quality, but the location is relatively remote. It takes at least 10 minutes to walk to and from the nearest convenience store. It is not very inconvenient to set up one by yourself.
