“This has NOTHING to do with a ryokan experience.”
The room itself was nice. However, paying £500 for a hotel at Mt. Fuji, you expect a Japanese vibe everywhere, but instead you find black walls, loud American pop music in the restaurant, forks in a plastic box on the table, and the worst ramen in Japan. This place was so disappointing in so many ways. It felt like wasted money and literally killed the vibe of our whole trip. I felt like I was eating in my high school gym hall. Dinner was bad, and breakfast was even worse. It took us a whole day to digest whatever we ate. The 4‑star hotel restaurant doesn’t even serve a normal coffee because there is no coffee machine. The room had a sauna and a bathtub on the balcony, but the bathtub is so small you have to take turns. It took more than an hour to figure out how it worked because there is no English information, and the staff can’t communicate. There is no phone in the room; the only way to contact them is via WhatsApp. This isn’t what I expect from a 4‑star hotel where I paid £500 for ONE night. The title on Booking said “Ryokan” but this has NOTHING to do with a ryokan experience. It was supposed to be the highlight of our honeymoon, and instead it was the worst night. Please do not waste your money on this hotel.
