Great Traditional Experience

I was here very briefly but wanted to share my thoughts on this stay. It is always impressive when the owner of a hotel takes the time to come out and greet you personally on your arrival. The friendly staff, the amazing view (if you are lucky) and traditional Japanese room experience made this a memorable stay. I wish I was able to stay longer. Highly recommended.

This was the most stunning property and run by the most attentive, respectful, welcoming, and warm staff for our stay. We were only here for one night but wished we were here longer. The buses to get to the hotel only stop there a few times a day but this meant the owner knew when guests would arrive and was there to welcome each and everyone of us to the hotel. The moment we jumped off the bus we were greeted and our bags taken inside so himself and his staff could take the most incredible photos of us with the mountain in the background. We were seated in the small sitting area off the reception and given tea or coffee while they checked other guests in so we didn’t have to wait in line. After being checked in they took our bags up to our room for us. We had a beautiful traditional room with the best view. The comfiest room and best sleep of our trip and when we left in the morning and checked out, waiting for our bus, the owner came around once again to take photos one last time and saw us off. While the bus took a while he brought everyone cups of green tea. Could not recommend a hotel more.

Beautiful view of Mount Fuji for the hotel room and rooftop. Very unique (traditional Japanese style). Far from other tourist attractions but the bus stop is right outside the hotel, so that was super convenient. The view makes it worth it.

The staff at the Shoji lake hotel were superb, making both of us feel accommodated as soon as arrival. There is limited dining, and I would recommend those coming have a car to access the towns outside of the bus schedule. Aside from this, the baths, solitude from crowds and views of Fuji are outstanding. It's an older hotel, and it does not have an elevator. But they were quick to bring our bags to the room and provide any amenities we needed. Overall a great value getaway from the busier areas around Fuji.

Beautiful Lake Shoji Hotel

Service was extremely warm & heartfelt. Owner, Kobayashi-san, welcomed me with a drink & gave wonderful advice on places to visit. The futon is very comfortable to sleep in.

Breathing views / warm welcome

My husband and I visited Lake Shoji for the first time in January. It was a rainy day when we checked in so we could not see Fuji San, but the warm welcome we received made up for the lack of view, even before we checked in, a very very kind employee helped us back into our parking spot. He also took our luggage in to the lobby. The desk employee was very kind and was willing to work with our limited Japanese. The owner even gave us a cup of tea and chocolates when we first arrived they also gave us many travel itinerary suggestions for the local area. We went with a traditional Japanese style room. It was very cozy, and spacious for the two of us in the morning rewarded with a beautiful view of Mount Fuji I cannot recommend this hotel enough! Lake Shoji is the least developed of the Fuji Lakes, and unfortunately this hotel does not offer any dining options (they are working on it tho!). I highly suggest eating dinner before you check in or making sure you bring food with you.

It’s an older hotel, seems to be going through remodel. Has its small town charm to it. I would still come back to it if I was on a different trip. Staff was really friendly, and had an amazing un-interrupted view of Mount Fuji, and shoji lake. The view makes up the rest of the small things.

We enjoyed staying this property with amazing view of Mt Fuji. The owner & all the staff are very friendly & welcoming. The property facilities is a bit old but very clean. We stayed on the top floor level 4 with a beautiful view of Mt Fuji. You can enjoy the view in the enclosed terrace area. Only downside no lifts so you are expecting to climb a lot of stairs if you are staying on the 4th floor. Staff will bring the luggage to your room. I could definitely return to stay in this property again & recommend to family & friends

The staff were extremely kind and welcoming. My first experience at a traditional Japanese hotel and I was floored with how warm, friendly and helpful the staff were. You can tell they are trying to renovate as much as they can with what they have, and the common areas look lovely. The open air onsen was incredible as well. It was overall such a nice experience.

We came to Shoji Lake Hotel for a quiet evening, hoping to catch a view of Mount Fuji. It was cloudy, so no luck there, but the stay was awesome. The staff was super friendly, helpful, and gave us great info. The bus stops right in front of the hotel, and the view of the lake is amazing. Plus, there’s a cool ghost village nearby that used to be a key military crossing.
