Reviews of Guesthouse Sakuya 2 stars

We couldn't be more pleased. Hosts Taka and Elisa are extremely gracious and helpful. They have a large van to take you to transit stops. Taka is also the chef and his dinner and breakfast score highly for both taste and photogenics. We are vegan and that was not an issue for them. The location is very peaceful and has great views of Fujisan. It isn't too remote from sightseeing locations which are easily reached by a good network of local buses.

It is a bit further from the usual area so there are limited bus options, but the accomodation provides a shuttle to the nearest bus stop. The place itself is beautiful and has an excellent view of Mount Fuji. It was very cozy and relaxing with, staff was super friendly, food was good and the restaurant had a nice cozy ambiance. I definitely recommend this place for a stay at Kawaguchiko.

The place is a real tale of two halves, it could be absolutely incredible. They have thought of so much, especially families with children. Providing toys, children's slipper and even a cot in the onsen room! The views are incredible, mount fuji from everywhere, the bedroom, breakfast and the onsen! The husband is really lovely and provides a lift to and from the local bus stop as the accommodation is up hill.

The wife seems like she really no longer want a guesthouse and made us feel uncomfortable in everything we did. You must order dinner by 5pm, we arrived at 5.20 pm with 2 children and they refused to provide dinner, later offering us to buy some ready pots of noodle. She then made us sit in the restaurant in the dark. Consistently providing rules and scornful looks. The restaurant area is 'closed' for most of the day. Breakfast can be at 7.30 or 8. No other options. We kept going in there to play with the toys and she would come in and close the blinds, turn off lights etc, her husband would then come and open them again! Every day she would tell us we need to leave at 9.20am, including check out day when check out is at 10. Weird. We didn't, we wanted to relax. If you want to relax don't stay here.

Excellent guest house for staying overnight to see Mt.Fuji when you wake up from the window. There’s private onsen for free for 40 mins per group. Delicious dinner and breakfast are also available at the place so just ask the host when you reserve. There’s also free pick up service from Oishi park.

Tattoos were accepted in the Onsen

Homestyle inn

wake up with a mt. fuji’s view is priceless. dinner and breakfast were tasty.

The room needs to renovate.

The onsen was really nice.

We were told to request breakfast upon our arrival but when we did the lady said they were too busy. We only saw one family having breakfast the next day.

Mt Fuji view from the room and the private bath

The traditional Japanese beds. A week later and I'm still bruised on the hips haha

I really like the place it was clean and warm.

Host were not flexible. We were three people with one child who is three years old. They didn't even inform early that we have to order breakfast ta day before. They didn't even offer us breakfast stating that we have to inform them early. There were no any restaurents around. Child was hungry till morning 09:30am. I would have not said anything if it was just two adults. I believe host should learn to be kind with people.

The view of Mount Fuji from the room.

Had to pay extra for Futon bed

We spent one night at this guesthouse while travelling from Kyoto to Tokyo by car. Very nice owners, friendly and flexible with our wishes. Communication in English was possible without problems. The Onsen usage was free and the Japanese dinner that we ordered spontaneously was very nice. If the weather permits it, you will see Mount Fuji directly from the eating room and possibly (depending on your room) even from your bed. Would clearly recommend this.

Lovely location with a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji and an onsen. Amazing hosts that drove us to to the bus stop in the morning after check-out so we could get to the bus in time. Would stay here again!
