Nothing

The Mt Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko view from the lobby and room is breathtaking. The restaurant Western and Japanese food was awesome. The hotel staff provided exceptional customer service in particular the restaurant waiting staff, Yamada san and Emmanel Sato san. I was also delighted to have complimentary beverages at the lobby anytime of the day and also ramen for supper at night. My wife and I enjoyed our stay at La Vista very much. Thank you La Vista!

I am obsessed with this stay. The view is absolutely unbeatable. I def recommend going for the full course dinner though as well! Even me, being a vegetarian, they accommodated so well, and really made me feel as though I was getting a formal 8 course meal, even though it's mainly vegetables. The view was undeniable. The facilities were perfection. The only thing to note, was that everything is a bit old/outdated. I'm super particular and it didn't even phase me, but I certainly took note of all the things. In a way, it's a bit nice, a call to another time. But it was really like staying in a nice hotel in the 90's.

There were some spiders lying on the ceiling of the bathtub, which makes some experience reduction when you enjoying the bathtub. Recommend the hotel to clean the ceiling periodically.

The view was so fantastic, bathing in the room and watch the Mt. fuji was awesome. Also the dinner and breakfast were both great and unique. Easy to park the car.

Private onzen is quite comfortable

The property is located in a beautiful position that gave us outstanding views of Mt Fuji on a clear day. We loved having our own private outdoor spa bath and enjoyed using the private onsens too. The free ramen at 10:30pm was a considerate gesture to guests and free train station transfers made everything a breeze.

I found it a bit weird that a hotel this big does not have english speaking staff! it was hard communicating and asking questions

stunning views of Mt Fuji!

no.

dinner is very excellent.

Stayed in May 2023

It’s on the hill, a bit away from the lake (maybe 10min walk), not a problem just a heads up for people with disabilities or older guests. However, there is a shuttle bus provided by the hotel!

the property has an exceptional view of Mt. Fuji, both from the lobby and the room we had. Additionally, all the amenities are amazing. The spa is open 24/7 (private onsens), while the public ones work quite long hours with a maintenance break during the day so you can enjoy the spa even at 2am if you feel like doing so. the rooms are nicely equiped with a mix of modern and traditional japanese design and features. the bathrobes and pajamas are super comfy :) Staff is exceptionally pleasant and welcoming!

It is a little far from away from shops, would recommend having a car if possible. But they also have a few shuttles that go to the Kawaguchiko Station.

The view from our room was exceptional! Truly breathtaking!

The location is far from Kawaguchiko station and quite isolated. I rented a car so it was fine for me. However, If you use a public bus, you need to walk uphill/ downhill to the bus station. You can't reach any tourist spot by foot unless you are a strong hiker. No restaurant around, and the hotel only serves French cuisine, which is very expensive for dinner courses.

Beautiful hotel with nice public and private onsen. The breakfast buffet is delicious. The room is considered large for Japanese hotels. Staff at the front desk can speak basic English. Excellence view from my room and the restaurant as shown in the photos. Recommend for anyone who has your own vehicle.

The location of the hotel is both a blessing and a curse. My wife and I took the train into Kawaguchiko and were able to schedule the hotel shuttle to pick us up and bring us to the hotel. Once at the hotel, there's not much around it in terms of restaurants, grocery stores, etc. A lot of the surrounding hotels and homestays have bicycles that they rent or loan out. It would be really nice if La Vista had some bikes for this purpose as we had to take a taxi all of the way back into town to then rent bikes and bike 20-25 minutes back to the hotel.

This resort property is very nice overall! My wife and I stayed here so that we could easily hike to some of the trails in the mountain range located directly behind the property. The resort has five private onsens each with a different theme. They also have two public onsens, one for males and one for females. The rooms are nice, spacious, and the beds are comfortable. The breakfast buffet has plenty of variety. The hotel has a shuttle that will pick you up from and take you to the Kawaguchiko train/bus station. There is a wonderful gelato shop within a 5-minute walk from the hotel. Our room had spectacular views of Mt Fuji.

Slightly off the beaten track without a car but they provided a free shuttle into town so long as you reserved a seat in advance.

Spacious hotel with spectacular views of Mt Fuji. Personal hot tub on the balcony of our rooms also looked out at Mt Fuji. Bed was comfy, lounge area was nice. Breakfast was a superb buffet.

Price. Not the biggest fan of French food so would have been nice to have other options.

The complimentary ramen, 6 course meal experience, although not the biggest fan. The buffet breakfast was the best. Shuttle service

The room I booked with balcony facing Fujisen, bathroom also facing the same. The view is great, but since my room was on 4th floor, you can see the front block, it would be much better if you can get a room on higher floors. Breakfast was of great variety. We also took the French dinner at hotel during our stay, and it was great also! Staff is friendly and helpful all the way! They offered free coffee and drinks at lobby which is a plus.

The hot spring is a bit small.

Every room has decent view of Mount Fuji.

A little far from town so the area was very quiet at night. No dinner options apart from the set dinner. Private onsen was first come first served so guests with tattoos can't book one in advance.

Great view of Mt Fuji from the room. Nice public onsen. Breakfast was good and room was comfortable.

Wasn't fully impressed with the dinner choices (western or japanese style) since the menu was preset and no menu in advanced.

Loved the view and amenities. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly as well.
