Nippondaira Hotel

Guests who stayed here loved

“We stayed at the Nippondaira for one night during our trip through Japan, and it was a unique experience. Our room was classical Japanese-style with tatami mats in all rooms (except the bathroom). My wife's mother was also on this trip with us, and she said that she did not have this kind of room, so I guess it is not available throughout. The room was open concept with the bedroom (with twin-plus-sized beds) opening into a large living area dominated by a tea table and chairs. The outside wall was actually all glass with a door to the balcony (with sandals placed outside). The real draw for this room, and the hotel in general, is that it is located on a hilltop and faces Mt. Fuji. We were lucky and the clouds lifted enough that we were eventually able to see the peak which was absolutely a great experience. There are several restaurants in the hotel, and we had a special seven course dinner (arranged by our tour guide company) in, I believe, the Terrace Restaurant. This was another singular experience for us, as the food and service was exceptional. Any extended trip to Japan (we were there two weeks) should include a trip to Shizuoka to get a glimpse, albeit a distant one, of Mt. Fuji, and the Nippondaira should be where you should stay.”
