A gorgeous location, and really lovely, warm staff. The meals were amazing too, and we enjoyed soaking in the hot baths at the end of a long day outdoors.

Value for money! Excellent Japanese tatami room with Mt Fuji view. Paid dinner and breakfast are value for money and delicious. Love the surrounding, quiet and peaceful, walking distance to the viewing point, the same picture as old Japanese Yen ¥1000 note

Although I loved all the food, there wasn't quite as much choice/quantity for my vegan friend. Maybe charge a little less if someone is vegan/veggie

Loved it here, amazing view of Mt Fuji and only a few minutes to walk directly down to the lake. Loved trying all the local Japanese food for breakfast and dinner. They have kayaks and paddle boards to rent, and you can rent bicycles from the souvenir shop by the bus stop down the road to explore some of the other lakes and Aokigahara forest, they'll always pick you up/drop you off at the bus stop if you don't have a car. The rooms are basic but in traditional style, they also have an onsen downstairs to warm up after a cold day and kimonos in the room. Would definitely recommend staying here as it's a bit further away from any of the busier areas, so much more peaceful. I'd like to come back and stay at the campground directly by the lake next time, the sunrise there was stunning. Staying at Lake Motosu was actually the highlight of my whole Japan trip!

This is not about the hotel, but a shame that the only bus that gets close to Koan comes from Minobu and only runs like 2 times on weekends. There are no kombinis near this place so prepare yourself before coming here, though you can buy drinks.

As a Yuru Camp fan, one night near Lake Motosu or here at Koan is something you must do. Both dinner and breakfast were really good and a lot of food was provided. You can choose between JAP or AME breakfast. They have a lot of Yuru Camp merch, and got one room with a kotatsu attached to it, so the experience was awesome. Get to Lake Motosuko stop, and make sure to take their offer to give you a ride as Koan is really far from the closest bus station. They were kind enough to offer shuttle service with their own car, to and from Koan

The futons were not the best. The undersheet and pillow cover were new and freshly cleaned, as well as the yukata the hotel provided. But the blanket and the futon (although I am sure they washed them) were very worn off and a little stained, and had somewhat of a stale smell. I would recommend the hotel buy new ones!

The location right in front of the Lake was lovely and the staff was super kind and helpful! A lovely place immersed in nature. The breakfast was also very nice!

Beds, futons were not very comfortable.

Fantastic location right on Lake Motosu with spectacular view of Mount Fuji. Very quiet, and uncomercialised. Good dinners and breakfasts.

The view is amazing

I could see some people complaining of "nothing to do" because its so remote. I actually view that as a plus, but just giving you a heads up, it's a lake and a view, and you'll only get lake activities if you go in the right season!

I loved the view, I loved the meals, the friendliness of the staff, and the massage chair. This is a stunning, one-of-a-kind gem of a place and will be recommending it to any of my friends who have an interest in mount Fuji.

As an American, the plait beds aren’t the comfiest but it’s apart of the experience!

Great visit- beautiful area

The room is super clean and comfy. The owners are so nice and the food is so decent, they even serve special dish. Great location to view Mt. Fuji. For anime fans, here is where Yuru Camp take place, there are full of anime elements inside the hotel, I'm really enjoyed.

Outside my room was some machinery that made quite a lot of noise so I had to put earplugs at night, I felt a bit disappointed as it was in the middle of nature and I was anticipating silence.

Very nice traditional tatami room with view on Mt Fuji. Dinner and breakfast were amazing and super filling. I'm sad I can't read japanese because there's a huge manga library in the common room. With a free massage chair. I would go back again.

The hotel breakfast and dinner were wonderful. The food had a homemade feel and was prepared with warmth and care. We were impressed by the entire experience. The food was delicious and left us very satisfied.

Splendid location for the view and Mt.Fuji, and staffs are friendly. It was a worthy experience to go to the lakeside of Lake Motosu, and enjoy the sunrise in the early morning. Note, Kouan is a must-visit spot for Yuru Camp fans to visit.

Helpful and passionate staff provided clear and detailed guidance, the great design of the resting lobby, the atmosphere of the shop and dining area

The onsen is quite small. It's supposed to be for three people, but you need to know each other quite well to do that!

A great place where to stay near Fuji at a reasonable price. I strongly recommend the food (breakfast and dinner). The view in the morning is truly worth it, and the rooms are big (there was a kotatsu in our room too!)

Nothing at the point of our stay.

Awesome experience for the family and great view of Fujisan. Great first time experience for the rural stay with family. Great collection of manga for my oldest boy. Appreciate the great support for the staff and the management to allow us to check in late as we were delay in our drive due to the unfortunate accidents on the highway.

The dinner was really good (and hefty), and I loved that they have a public bath. Views 10/10. A bit isolated but that’s kind of the point! Easy bike storage too.

I did not find any flaws in this hotel. Here is everything that is indicated on their website. There is a small library, a children's room. Dinner was very tasty

The staff is very kind and responsive. Showed and told everything. We arrived a little earlier than planned, we were accepted without problems. The room had a great view of Mount Fuji. The rooms are clean
