First off, the hotel was amazing, the room and onsen were superb, the pool looked wonderful but I didn’t use it. The amenities, all great. We had a delicious italian dinner and found enough to eat at the breakfast buffet as vegans (albeit overpriced for the vegan options but probably reasonable for anyone else). We had a dead-center view of Mt. Fuji except she only poked her head out for 30 seconds but that’s not the hotel’s fault and I knew those odds going in.
I’m only giving it 3 stars because I was disappointed to learn that I couldn’t see the actual racetrack from anywhere in the hotel other than from a few tables in a cafe which requires a purchase, which I would be fine with except I was only there for 1 night and it closes early. By the time I got settled and went down for a drink (before dinner) it was already closed - so I never got to see it.
My second issue, and this is on me for not doing enough research but the location isn’t convenient to anything else in Fuji. I spent about $100 one way on a taxi to get to the pagoda. The hotel called the taxi for me but as I was about to get in, I thought to ask if it would be hard to find a taxi to get back and they said probably - and it was. It felt like something they should let people know up front.
Again the room was amazing and I wish I had another night to enjoy it and the hotel but I wouldn’t stay there again because of logistical reasons.
