We had a fantastic stay at this charming hotel! Yoshi, the host, made our experience unforgettable with his warm hospitality. One of the highlights was being treated to a live concert and homemade liqueurs. Yoshi also provided excellent recommendations for exploring the area. The onsen bath and jacuzzi were the perfect way to unwind and made our stay even more enjoyable.

This hotel is impeccably clean and spotless. You can tell a lot of love has been put into this place. Don’t miss enjoying the lounge with a view of Fuji. We also loved the private bathing rooms and the jacuzzi room with the Fuji view.Our party booked two rooms. One with a Fuji view and one without. Both rooms are very comfortable with AC. We would recommend booking the room with a view since the cost is not too much extra. That room can also fit up to four people (two on the futon).The location is great. Though it feels like it’s located in a rural area among farmland, it’s only a ten minute walk from the shore of lake Kawaguchiko and some other sights around the area like the maple corridor and some museums. We do recommend having a car to get to and from the hotel and around the Kawaguchiko area since public transportation connections are prolly not as convenient around there. There is ample parking space.The owner is very friendly. He held a live music session in the evening and took song requests. He also distills his own liquor which he uses in the drinks that are pretty affordable (550yen).Thank you for the great stay!

Very spacious rooms, clean and good quality equipment all provided, toilets are clean and lots of space as well. There were lots of other activities available for free within the hotel as well, such as the jacuzzi and the hot bath, but unfortunately we didn't get the time to go there. Excellent service, probably the best I've seen in Japan. The owner was very very nice, gave all information about the hotel and surrounding places, was kind and helped us carry all our luggages to our rooms when we didnt ask. He is also a great singer and puts on a music show every night, must go!Location wise, it was in a quiet area, but very close to nearby attractions and the roads were relatively easy to navigate. Would definitely recommend and visit again!

Our stay at Cresendo Kawaguchiko was a bit of a mixed experience. On the plus side, the host was warm and helpful, the rooms were spacious, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We also appreciated the lovely gesture of steamed sweet potatoes as a parting gift!However, there were some drawbacks. The location was quite far off, making it inconvenient if you're not driving. The numerous big steps to reach the lobby and rooms on level 2 were a challenge, especially with heavy luggage. We were also surprised to find our room was designated for smoking, which left a lingering smell. Thankfully, the host promptly brought an extra air purifier to help alleviate the issue.Despite these issues, the stay was still pleasant, and we enjoyed the comfortable rooms and friendly service. The front-facing rooms with Mt. Fuji views are a definite highlight, but unfortunately, our room faced the back "garden" with no view, which was a letdown.Overall, my experience was mixed, and I had high expectations based on previous reviews. While Cresendo Kawaguchiko has its charm, it's essential to be aware of the potential drawbacks before booking.

The boss is super cute, very professional, speaks good English (but still has a bit of a Japanese accent🤣), and always approaches guests with enthusiasm and a smile👍 If you need a taxi, you can ask the boss. Before leaving, the boss even gave us origami paper, which was very Intimate~~ The room is quite large, with space for two 24-inch suitcases. There is a small sofa and TV. The bathroom is separated from dry and wet areas. There is enough space. There is a public space (bathing area/restaurant/bar) and a microwave is provided. Food can be heated and there is a refrigerator to freeze food 🥹. There is a bicycle rental store below the hotel. With this level of service and price, it is a place with a very high CP value. It is recommended that you use the official website to book a room, which provides customized services. ! ! Booking a room through BOOKING will be a little more expensive🥹, it’s the first time I type so many words in a review🗻
