“An exclusive onsen experience”

The room we booked came with a private onsen tub, adjoining to the shower. The private onsen was definitely the highlight of the stay, as we could dipped into the onsen twice a day - one in the morning before going out and one in the evening after coming back tired. It was rejuvenating. Only thing is the adjoining shower means this is very ideal for couple staying but maybe a bit difficult for a family or friends. The room is considered nice size for the 2 of us, while the interior and furniture are a bit dated but functional. The kaiseki dinners and breakfasts had have many dishes as expected of such, and the good things they don't served the same for the 3D2N stays we did. While we ate a lot till very full, my opinion was more on the quality, as we experienced premium quality elsewhere. They were good just not as premium as I would like, but they weren't bad at all. The location is fantastic though it is not Fuji san facing. The frontdesk staffs were very polite and helpful. Keep up the service quality, we were honoured to be the guests.

“Wonderful stay - a few more days would have been great!”

We checked into Kasuitei Oya for just one night, as we were visiting Kawaguchiko and Mount Fuji en route from Tokyo to Matsumoto.

We checked into Kasuitei Oya for just one night, as we were visiting Kawaguchiko and Mount Fuji en route from Tokyo to Matsumoto. The hotel sent a collection shuttle bus to the train station and was there in a flash. The staff at this hotel were excellent - they were very attentive and happy to spend time suggesting local things to visit. The room itself was beautiful with a great outlook over the lake. We booked a Western style room, which still had the traditional tatami mat area for relaxing but also had a raised Western style bed, which we enjoyed. We really enjoyed the baths and considered booking the private bath for an hour. In the end we just used the standard baths and the outside one was really lovely. I watched the full moon rise from the bath overlooking the lake - magical moment. Although you don't get a Fuji view from the baths or the room in the hotel, there is a balcony up on the same floor as the baths where you can see Fuji. The location of the hotel is brilliant - you can easily walk to restaurants and everything else you need. We spent a nice evening at a very nearby Izakaya called Cooliya bar, recommended by the hotel and a great place for some tasty plates and a couple of drinks later in the evening. We had the traditional breakfast in the morning. There were a lot of dishes within the breakfast - beautifully presented but a little bit too much food for me in the morning, with some of the dishes a bit on the experimental side for us! Overall, a great stay and would recommend.

“Our first visit to Lake Kawaguchiko”

The hotel was a bit dated and relatively small especially the washroom. My Sister and I ended up knocking ourselves multiple times as we were not used to the limited space in the bathroom.

The hotel was a bit dated and relatively small especially the washroom. My Sister and I ended up knocking ourselves multiple times as we were not used to the limited space in the bathroom. However, we were impressed by the excellent services provided by staff from serving welcome drink, showing us to our room, explaining the room amenities to arranging shuttles from the hotel to Kawaguchiko station. The dining experience was fabulous as we have private space to slowly dine and savour the food even though we did not get to dine in-room. Just a point to highlight that the dinner menu was too much for average eater to finish, perhaps Chef would like to reduce the portion or the number of menu items served. My Sister and I loved the private onsen that lasted about 50 mins. The onsen room was well equipped with facial products and toiletries. The private onsen was very clean and well-kept with cleaning performed after each booked session. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Hotel Kasuitei Ohya. Though, it’s a bit pricey but it’s definitely worth the spend.
