Hotels near Yamagata Shrine

"I had accidentally booked the reservation under only myself, when in actuality, I was staying with my two kids and husband as well. The Receptionist handled it very well (despite the language barrier) and she made sure we had everything we needed. The location is great, very walkable and the view is beautiful. Beds were really comfortable. Nothing bad to say! "

"The views of Mt. Fuji were amazing, the private onsen was so beautiful, & the "reserved" onsens so relaxing! The breakfast was excellent (highly recommend) & all the staff so friendly. Definitely take advantage of the shuttle bus service because it's a long walk from Kawaguchiko Station. "

"Here’s a review you can use: I had an incredible stay at Mt. Fuji View Hotel! The room’s view of Mt. Fuji was absolutely breathtaking – a sight that I won’t forget. The hotel staff provided excellent service, always friendly and helpful. The coin laundry was convenient for longer stays, and the onsen was a perfect way to relax after a day of sightseeing. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with my experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area!"

"Feels like a real Ryokan, with the Japanese style room and outdoor bath."

"Service was extremely warm & heartfelt. Owner, Kobayashi-san, welcomed me with a drink & gave wonderful advice on places to visit. The futon is very comfortable to sleep in."

"A Life-Changing Experience at HOSHINOYA Fuji I recently had the privilege of staying at HOSHINOYA Fuji, and I can say with absolute certainty that it was a truly life-changing experience. From the breathtaking views to the exquisite attention to detail, every moment spent here was unforgettable—but what made it truly special was the kindness of the staff. A special thank you to the individual who delivered my cheese and fruit platters and wine on February 10, 2025. The genuine kindness, warmth and care in her service made it feel like more than just a meal—it was a gesture of hospitality that spoke volumes. That same evening, I had the pleasure of sitting and speaking with her during the movie screening. That simple act of connection, of shared conversation and kindness, was a highlight of my stay. It’s rare to find such heartfelt engagement, and I am deeply grateful for that moment. Truly made this Canadian in a foreign place, feel welcome and calm. I. Alignment with the beautiful scenery! HOSHINOYA Fuji is not just a destination; it is an experience of tranquility, beauty, and human connection. The staff here don’t just provide service—they create memories, and for that, I cannot thank them enough. I leave with a full heart, clear mind and a profound appreciation for the kindness that defines this incredible place. To the entire team: thank you for your warmth, generosity, and for making my stay something I will cherish forever."

"Amazing hotel and perfect location right in the city centre. Room was spacious and comfortable. My back has been aching recently but the mattress in my room was very good and of just right level of stiffness so my back felt rested. I thoroughly enjoyed breakfast as it had many options and variety. Staff were really friendly and helped me order a taxi to my next destination. Would definitely stay there again. "

"The place to go to if you want to experience amazing traditional Japanese meals. The staff were very helpful and lovely and the view from our room was gorgeous."
