The staff here are exceptional. They go above and beyond to make sure you have everything that you need and are so friendly and charismatic. We had a lovely stay at Shoji Lake Hotel. The facilities are ‘older’, very traditional Japanese hotel which made our stay a very homey experience. The onsen was wonderful, the indoor onsen was definitely a lot older, but the outdoor onsen was newly renovated and so nice. We will recommend Shojj to everyone going to Japan!

I stayed at Shoji Lake Hotel from December 25–26 and it was unforgettable. The owner welcomed us like family, taking time to chat, recommend local walks, and make sure everything was perfect. Our room had an exceptional view of Lake Shoji and Mount Fuji watching the sunrise over the mountain was a highlight. The room was clean and cozy, the onsen was wonderfully relaxing, and the atmosphere felt intimate and personal rather than hotel-like. I’ll definitely return

The hotel is well located, with a beautiful view of Mount Fuji and the lake. Free parking The staff is helpful The relaxation area (sauna, hot pool) is new. The rooms are old and unrenovated, and the furniture and furnishings are also in poor condition.

Super friendly staff and helpful. Owner came and greeted us himself upon checking in. Hotel older and dated however family ran and super clean. It was a great experience at a traditional ryokan. Onsen was great and open til 8 AM. Location is far from town, but accessible by local bus. Totally worth the trek, great scenery even tho we missed Mt Fuji due to fog. I guess it gives us a reason to come back. 😊

The hotel is a little older but very very clean. The rooms have a great view of Mt. Fuji. She was a bit shy during our short stay but we did manage to get a glimpse of her from our room. This place does not have an elevator but staff will carry your bags to your room for you. The standout here is the staff who were so friendly and welcoming compared to the bigger fancy hotels. We would stay here again just because of the lovely staff.

I’d give it a 10/5 if I could. The owner was the friendliest person ever. As soon as we got there he took a picture of us in front of Fuji, offered us a drink in the lobby was very hands on with helping operations. They even had announcements on the intercom when Fuji came out of the clouds. Out of all the places we stayed while in Japan this one was my absolute favourite.

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.

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.

Shoji Lake hotel offers a very warm hospitality. the hotel itself is facing the Shoji lake and the Fuji-san view is so clear. you can walk to the lake side, also have free parking. the hotel has hotspring bath ( indoor and outdoor, I suggest the outdoor since its newly renovated). The rooms are quite aging but everything is cleaned properly. the staff is very helpful and explain everything so nicely. I suggest bringing some cup noodles/food for breakfast or dinner since the surrounding area are closing pretty early.
