It depends on the time you want travel using your pass. Early in the morning it’s “impossible”. Between 8-6 it’s ok and easy enough as they have a car to drive you to a shuttle bus service. Here’s what I just wrote in my review of this place. I hope it helps you.
Don’t stay here if you want to see Mt Fuji, unless you have your own car. (But who hires a car in Japan? The train system is great.)
Foolishly I believed the reviews saying this was a good hotel in a good location. It’s ok, but nothing special. The location is not special at all.
At this time of year (May) it seems you have to be in a good position to see Mt Fuji at around 6am till 8am maybe, and then if you’re lucky and Mt Fuji is not covered with clouds. This hotel is at least 30-60mins from any Fuji viewing spot, and I was just told that getting a taxi at 6am is “impossible”. The first taxi could come at 10am, which doesn’t help. This hotel has a car but they only use it to ferry guests to a nearby hotel where the shuttle bus service operates to take you down the hill to public transport. The shuttle starts at 7.55am which is too late. Mt Fuji will be in clouds by then. The hotel could easily take us to the station in their car, but they refuse, as this too is “impossible”.
This place is just another hotel. It’s not great, and it’s not even good. Yes it has hot spring baths. If you want to not see Mt Fuji, and cook yourself red like a live lobster, then stay here if you must. The onsen bath is ok if that’s what you’re after. Personally, I wish we hadn’t stayed here at all.
My tip is for you to stay very near a good Mt Fuji viewing place that you can get to in 20-30 mins max. Wake up at 530am, and go on an early morning adventure. Be in position by 6am and pray a bit to whatever weather god you like. And don’t rely on unhelpful people who make things impossible for you.
Hello Monica, the onsen is included on the price per night and it's open untill 10 or 11 PM I think and early in the morning also. You don't need to shedule for the open onsen. It's a very nice experience!
Odakyu Line's Romance Car can be the best option from Shinjuku, Tokyo.
Unable to put URL in here. Please, search Odakyu Romance car on Google. English website is available and can book online. Able to select the seat online but need to purchase another ticket at the station when arrive there. It was a bit complicated for me to understand the process.
