Hayakawa, Yamanashi Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"Room was really clean, the staff were super nice really enjoyed my interactions with them. The onsen was great. Wish I spent more time there, the sauna was super hot. The buffet is a big thing there but that for me was the weakest part of the experience. "

"Staff were very helpful and attentive!"

"Our stay was great. The staff was great. It was raining but we still had a great time. The room felt huge and was comfortable with heat and air. The curtains worked great. It's great to have an entire grill area to yourself. Just bring some food to grill. There's a small market within walking distance (.5mile) that has things like deer sausage and veggies. There's also a restaurant next to the market. You'll have to walk to get here or take a taxi but the bus stops are about half a mile away. We only had backpacks so walking through the countryside was a nice and relaxing treat for us. "

"Wonderful experience, completely fulfilling"

"Our stay at The Sense Fuji was a highlight of our trip to Japan. We would have stayed longer if time allowed. The property is beautiful with incredible views of Mt. Fuji. The private onsen is relaxing and the food was great. The service was perfect and helped us with whatever we needed. Cannot wait to come back."

"Perfect location as the hotel is situated beside the Fujinomiya Station and walking distance from the major shrines and dining options. Beautiful view of Mount Fuji."

"Steps to the house need replacing and not enough lighting on the pathway to the house"

"Private onsem was amazing "

"Stayed here on a family holiday in 2 double rooms. Convenient location as we were driving and good value. Very helpful staff. Clean rooms with amenities available as required. Dining options are available nearby; the sushi place directly across the road is excellent! Would be happy to recommend to others who would like a slightly unusual place to stay "
