9.4/10 Exceptional! (75 reviews)
Booked a room for four. 2 twin beds, a sofa bed and a bunk bed. Place is small but everything you need is there. We used the kitchen stove and microwave and the washer/dryer. Toilet is separate from the bathroom which is good if you have multiple people. Detergent was provided. Lots of towels. The shower water temperature was a bit finicky - takes a while for the water temperature settings to kick in and seems to not stay on one setting. Air conditioned room but seems that the room doesn’t get colder even though we tried lowering the thermometer on the thermostat. It was a bit warm in the room - probably around 23 degrees. Very close to the TCAT station - convenient for taking the limousine bus from both Narita and Haneda airports.

The boat ride on Lake Kawaguchi was great. Too bad the clouds covered Mt. Fuji on that day.
