The 52-room, mid-range Kozantei Ubuya is a lovely traditional ryokan offering the best Mount Fuji views around. It is located on the shores of Lake Kawaguchi, less than a 10-minute free shuttle ride from Kawaguchiko station, and all of its rooms and common spaces offer panoramic mount and water vistas. Rooms are either Japanese-style units with tatamis, or Western-style rooms with regular beds. All feature large living areas with low tables for tatami dining, plus minibars, flat-screen TVs, robes and slippers, electric kettles, and private bathrooms. Some have large terraces with outdoor onsens. Additionally, the hotel offers a large wellness area with onsens, stunning views, saunas, and a salon. Breakfast is free, and a set menu with over a dozen dishes is served every night in the main dining room. For something cheaper with views, consider the pleasant Wakakusa no Yado MarueiMaruei.

The upscale Konansou is a traditional boutique hotel set against Lake Kawaguchi, not far from Mount Fuji. The 51 rooms here have a traditional Japanese look and feel with tatami mats on the floors, though a few have Western features such as permanent beds (rather than roll-up floor beds common in traditional Japanese hotels). Many have balconies with lake or Mount Fuji views, and six of the rooms feature hot tubs on their balconies. Facilities include a free breakfast buffet, a tea room, and two banquet halls for rent, as well as a lovely onsen (hot springs facility) with private baths available. Travelers shopping around for something slightly cheaper in the area may also want to consider Shuhokaku Kogetsu, which also has beautiful onsen baths on-site.
