富士河口湖町3大奢華飯店

Probably the most stunning location of any hotel I’ve stayed in and one of the nicest rooms - in a minimalist way. No TV but quite the most incredible views of Mt Fuji from the room. The outside seating area attached to the room is so comfortable and for us private ( in many rooms it will be somewhat overlooked as guests walk around the site, but room 303 is on the “front row”. The Hotel reception is in a car park at 2775’ above sea level. Our room at 2910’ asl, dining room at 3026’ asl and the cloud terrace fire pit at 3117’ asl. So that’s 116’ up to breakfast or 216’ up to the terrace from the room - which didn’t bother us at all - and I am sure for less able bodied guests they will happily run people about in the Jeep. The Jeep is used to climb the 135’ up from the reception up to room although we ended up walking most of the time - only need to visit reception if hiring bikes or getting a taxi. Mechanical bike hire is free - we used this to get to the 7-eleven about 3km away for some in room snacks and drinks! Also cycled to ice caves about 15km away - well worth doing. Hotel staff extremely polite - English sometimes a little challenging but this was more to do with them trying hard to understand my wife’s dietary request for “no meat and no fish”. I think this was a little challenging for them to comprehend at times but they did accommodate and I know staff worked hard so to do. We sometimes I felt they over complicated the request by checking what she could: couldn’t eat - Just no meat no fish - simple! ( so no, bacon isn’t ok!). Breakfast was special - different but v good. ESP omelette. We almost got off to a bad start when I asked for only me to have the wild boar / venison dinner. My wife just wasn’t feeling that well and didn’t want to risk eating anything but was happy to join me for dinner and share a bottle of wine. This request was refused ( initially) - either both dine or I could be allowed to dine alone. I suspect they thought we would be trying to share the £70 per head meal - but of course the point was my wife didn’t want to eat - esp not meat! They conceded and I enjoyed an excellent meal and we shared a £70 bottle of wine too. I would have enjoyed the £100 per head Dutch oven experience but they would not concede this point and I would have had to eat alone ! Instead we had curry on 2 nights. A sort of hybrid “heat up your own” on the terrace. Tasty enough and worked well for us. But the hotel lost out by being rigid with the rules as the curry was far cheaper! So very many positives. The meal situation was a bit odd as to how it was handled but was OK in the end and my wife accepts she is fussy - but she can’t be the only vegetarian the hotel needs to accommodate ! It’s a stunning property in fabulous location and do highly recommend.

這是我們在日本8年後有史以來最好的日式旅館體驗!我們住了11間房間的澀谷套房,住了2晚。我們200平方米的套房有一個封閉的花園,一個帶溫泉游泳池的私人甲板,還有一個獨立的臥室,起居室和用餐/榻榻米室,都是爲我們一家4口。雖然總統套房在照片中看起來很棒,但我覺得石武套房是更真實的日本體驗,它有日本房子的舊世界魅力,都是豪華的手工雕刻的木材。日式旅館在用餐方面做得比自己多懷石晚餐,以及西式或日式早餐的選擇。向廚師和我們的女主人秋子致敬。服務是一流的 - 佐藤桑在雨中遇到我們的車,給每個人一把傘,甚至孩子們。我們的鞋子和行李在門廳擦拭,我們進入了我們美麗的套房,緊跟在後面的佐藤女士,下午茶。佐藤聖值得毫無保留的讚揚他只在2個小時內製作了一塊美麗的蛋糕,我妻子的祕密要求我們結婚紀念日晚餐,加上一個意想不到的花束,這對她來說是一個真正的驚喜。感謝Osenji Yumedono Ryokan的所有工作人員 - 我們很樂意有一天再次回來。
