Reviews of Togawaso 2 stars

Beautiful traditional Japanese hotel right on Lake Kawaguchiko. Family that operates the place was great. Public bath was really nice. The owner gave me a ride to the train station super early so I could catch the bus to climb mtFuji.

Perfect for those who want a slightly traditional stay, rooms were spacious enough for 2-3 pax and the accommodation had everything we needed, close to public transport too. Though it looked slightly old and onsens were shared, not an issue at all they were very nice and well maintained.

Nothing

Clean and spacious rooms with a great view, free bikes to lend and a nice hot tub.

Wifi was not optimal

Great location to view Mount Fuji on the lake

Nice hostel at a beautiful location close to the lake and a park with flowers. To be fair, we didn't spend much time in the hotel or its direct surroundings (exploring the wider area instead). But the place is wonderfully green and welcoming.

Sanitary facilities were somewhat limited with only the shared bath to wash (no showers) and a rather limited number of bathrooms for the total number of guests. Also, while it's great that the hostell provides breakfast, I would have loved to have a vegetarian option (Instead, they make it very explicit they will NOT cater to any individual preferences, diets or allergies. To some extent I get this, but it does come across as slightly rigid and unlike other experiences I've had in Japan).

Great location in Kawaguchi. They had bikes free for us to use to get around which was really useful. The rooms had aircon and the staff were so lovely and hospitable! I would definitely recommend staying here.

The showers are shared but i never ran into anyone in there so it was fine. Just keep that in mind when booking!

Price and location were probably the best you could ask for. Clear view of Mt.Fuji (if the weather permits it), the open bath is clean and amazing. At checkout they will shuttle you to the station.

Downside is the 15 min walk from the bus station/convenience stores but walking never hurt anybody.

Friendly host! We had an nice room with view on Lake Kawaguchi. We enjoyed the Onsen. We liked the transfer to the hotel.

Wonderful

This place is amazing! Staff is really lovely (a family we presumed), the breakfast was incredible (recommend booking it at arrival, we got to try the Japanese one), and the location was superb. There were coffee shops, izakayas and conbini’s closeby. The most beautiful spot close to the lake! The onsens (both sides) were lovely as well. It is a perfect place to be in the nature Kawaguchiko can provide. Recommend (if you like hiking) to hike around the lake! The onsen of this place will definitely be a treat!!

Nothing, really everything was as we were expecting and even more beautiful.

Room was comfortable. Shared bathrooms are okay for those who don't mind. Hosts are very nice! The shuttle service is also very convenient and efficient.

The onsen was a little small and not very appealing. Walls were a little thin so privacy wasn't always assured.

- authentic, old but lovely - friendly and kind personal - nice location close to the lake - free parking

- the water temperature of the bath could be a bit higher (personal impression)

Lovely authenitic Japanese accommodation. Very big room with views of Mt Fuji. Located right on lake Kawagochiko with numerous restaurants and convenience stires within walking distance.

There are two onsens but one is smaller and not as nice. Only one extremely small female toilet and one small male to share between all the rooms.
