What guests think

At Sawa Hotel, guests highlight spacious but dated rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and scenic Mt. Fuji views, while noting a walk of roughly 10–15 minutes to Kawaguchiko Station that some find convenient and others a bit far.

Cleanliness is often praised, though a few reports mention lapses such as stained bedding, bathroom mold, or a stray spider. Many appreciate the low-priced traditional breakfast (reserve the night before), and staff frequently accommodate special requests like early service. Facilities are simple: free coffee, some rooms with kitchenettes, and parking that can fill up; laundry equipment feels dated. Expect a simple, good-value base suited to travelers who prioritize space and price over modern style.

ホテル前の駐車場がすぐに埋まったみたいなので、歩いて第３駐車場まで停めに行きました。前に停めたかったです。客室に補助鍵(鎖？)がないのが少し不安でした。オートロックじゃないだけに心配かな。その他は問題ないです。快適でした。

Easy check-in, helpful staff, welcome hot coffee, in fact free coffee every afternoon. You can see Mt Fuji from hotel windows - what a bonus! Traditional Japanese breakfast at 800yen - so yummy. About 10-15minutes walk to Kawaguchiko station. Day passes by sightseeing buses or packaged tours are all at your finger tips to find out at the station. The 5 lakes and Mt Fuji - being the centre attraction is visible just from most vantage points of the lakes - so beautiful!

We only stayed one night in Kawaguchiko, but it was unforgettable. The highlight was definitely the stunning view of Mt. Fuji — we could see it right from our balcony and even from the road just outside the hotel. It felt like a postcard come to life! The room was super clean, cozy, and very comfortable — exactly what we needed after a long day of travel. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Wish we could’ve stayed longer! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful stay with unbeatable views of Mt. Fuji.

This turned out to be more of a business hotel, and a bit out of the way. Kawaguchiko in general is not high density and there were not too many options in the direct vicinity of the hotel. A bit over a kilometre from the train station, and about 700 meters to the convenience store and shopping centre. The room was nice and spacious, if somewhat dated, but very comfortable. Absolutely loved the optional breakfast, a traditional Japanese set that was mind blowing, priced at only ¥600, do not miss (reservations are required by 9pm the previous night). There is a nice view of Mt. Fuji, as probably every other vantage point has from the township.
