Laforet Shuzenji Sanshisuimei

Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, not everyone speaking perfect English but definitely going the extra mile to explain themselves and make sure we had all our questions answered. Our room was just amazing, beautiful Japanese style room with tatami, with a terrace facing mount Fuji and a private onsen. Everything was spotless clean. Breakfast was in the main building of the resort (5 minute walk from our room) and included both japanese and western options - good choice overall, and nice room. Dinner was also nice, with menu changing everyday and good selection. Overall, it was an amazing experience for us. Please note that the same resort has different accommodations and different structures: we were staying at the Sanshisuimei, which is great, but if you read reviews somewhere else they may refer to other (cheaper) options.

The views, the onsen on the balcony. It was so nice to sit there after a long day of sightseeing. It is a great location to explore the Izu peninsula from. Make sure to book the room with Mountain View. You will have an amazing view on Mount Fuji.

The room types were a little confusing. We had 3 rooms, 1 of it ended up to be at a different block. The blocks have 2 levels, both the rooms upstairs and downstairs have a flight stairs hence it is inconvenient for us — parents with 2 young kids — to carry the luggages & children up/down to the rooms. Check in/out is also a drive away from the blocks. Staffs were not very welcoming/friendly at check in/out. Not sure if it was due to language barrier. Not an issue for us as we didn’t need anything extra. Overall the rooms are comfy and clean, with enough space for our family. We set up the tatami beds for our kids which was great. Plenty of space for luggages and a baby stroller as well.

Beautiful, large room in traditional style, delicious breakfast and dinner menu, helpful and professional staff, view on the Mount Fuji (upon request), beautiful onsen in building 9 with lots of care products.

Location! This is a remote country club-style resort that is tucked on a mountain, away from the town. When you wake up, you’re surrounded by views on every side. Our room had a crystal clear view of Mt Fuji and the resort’s golf course. The remoteness of the location is compensated by the fact that the resort offers a free shuttle bus both inside the resort (from facility to facility) and to/from the resort and Shuzenji station. Really loved it, it felt like pure luxury to be away from everyone.
