Numazu River Side Hotel

This hotel is great due to its central location. You are 3 minutes away from NAKA MISE SHOPPING STREET, the quintessential Japanese shopping arcade in the middle of the street where you ABSOLUTELY MUST eat at DONGURI, a very old restaurant where the typicial Japanese dishes are delivered to you floating on a stream of water. We love that restaurant. Don't miss this famous mum and pop restaurant. So, to get back to Numazu Riverside Hotel, it is a charming hotel with great views on the river or on Mount Fuji. The staff is very helpful, there is an English speaking non Japanese staff lady, very helpful if you do not speak Japanese. The carpets in the hallways definitely need to be taken out and changed but if keeping them like they are keeps the prices down, then leave the old carpets on! At the reception, there is a table offering free cosmetic amenities, mum and I loved it! The bathrooms are also packed with personal grooming stuff if you have forgotten everything home. The room also offers great slippers that you can keep (as in most Japanese hotels by the way). You may find that the corridors smell of tobacco, something that doesn't happen in Western Europe. I guess you will need to specify that you wish a non-smoking room. If you wake up jet lagged at 4am, make a beeline for the 7 Eleven Store nearby to get some great snaks, it is open 24 hours. I posted a photo. Breakfast in Hotel: we only took it once there. It was good, a bit pricey as we had not reserved the night before. Lots of Japanese and continental foods to enjoy. They also have a nice coffee shop that we didn't have the time to enjoy, we will do it next year. We plan to go back, of course! Central location, great views over the river and reasonable prices: what else do you need? One more thing: silly me forgot my phone charger on the wall. The hotel kept it and my niece was able to pick it up for me. Brownie points for Numazu Riverside Hotel!!!

Nothing really. Maybe the old carpets as I said earlier but if keeping them can keep the hotel prices down, then please keep the old carpets!!! Ha ha ha.

Generally speaking a genuinely great experience, with the location right in the centre of amazing Numazu, and a stunning view of either the ocean or Mt Fuji from your room, being the two main highlights. There are plenty of additional facilities available (apart from an onsen bath, mind you) should you be interested, and the town of Numazu itself is something of a hidden gem that I can strongly recommend (it has the longest beach in all of Japan - walking distance from the hotel - from which you can see the sun set over Mt Fuji on a not-too-rainy day, which is an amazing view; plus a very cosy old market street - right next to the hotel, I might add). Parking is also available in the basement at a reasonable price.

The interior (both the room and the rest of the hotel) was a bit dated (not much had changed since the 90s, save the added WiFi), but everything was clean and well-maintained. Hotel restaurants were also closed without any explanation being given, but then again, a lot of restaurants in Numazu were unexpectedly closed that day, so possibly some correlation. Staff were also a lot less English-speaking than they were pre-pandemic, so you may need to know some Japanese if you are going to manage even with the check-in.

Location is brilliant, only a few minutes walk from the train station down the main road. Close to the shopping district and very quiet with rooms offering great views across the river. The staff were fantastic and friendly and the restaurant we went to for breakfast was brilliant with the range on offer

The breakfast is wonderful and delicious，the food was very fresh， and all were local production，5 star for recommendation，though the room window, the sea and FUJI Mountain all in the view, we have seen the sunset, how wonderful it is！

The decoration and facility of the room was elder, if it can be improved will be better for guests

Beautiful and spacious room. Beautiful location, right next to river. Friendly staff. Location close to my favourite food and dessert places like Grandmas. Location also close to bus stop if you want to enjoy the view and food at Numazu Port or experience the beauty of Uchiura

Friendly and Care Taking Staff. I felt like a King even on a budget. The location was beautiful with a nearby Bus Stop to move across Numazu. The nearest convenience store is a little far out. But walking around, feels nostalgic and peaceful.

Very kind staff. Good breakfast. Close to train station where you can travel to Mt. Fuji for both sides. 20 minutes by walk to port. Close to hotel is lot of sushi and japanese restaurants.

The hotel room for 3 people is small.

Breakfast was very good. Location was great. We parked our motorcycles on the property for a small daily charge. Many places to eat and drink nearby.

The room is a bit old and klunky, but still tidy and neat.

It said free rental bike may be available when we stay, but they did not manage to tell us they can provide or not.

Location was convenient and pretty much near everything within walking distance. Room was of a good size and the wifi worked really well!
