Konansou exact-room compass
Choosing Konansou’s Fuji side or lake side is only the first decision. Before paying, match the official Type letter, sleeping layout and private-bath feature. This guide shows what G, D and E actually add, and when a higher room price buys useful space rather than a different water source.
Short answer: choose the Mt. Fuji side if seeing Fuji from your room or private open-air bath is the reason for the trip. Type G is the compact flagship choice; Types D and E add twin beds and more space.
Choose the Lake Kawaguchiko side if you want a water view that remains attractive in cloudy weather, or if a terrace, sauna or a different bath layout matters more. Type C pairs the lake view with a private open-air bath; Types L and P shift the emphasis toward sauna features.

What Is the Upgrade Actually Buying?
G, D and E all have natural hot-spring open-air baths and face Fuji. Moving up is mainly a space-and-bedding decision, not an upgrade from ordinary water to onsen.
| Type | Size / capacity | Reason to choose |
|---|---|---|
| G | 60 m² / 1–4 | Japanese-room layout; do not assume permanent twin beds. |
| D | 80 m² / 1–4 | Two 140 cm-wide beds plus Japanese space. |
| E | 102 m² / 1–4 | Same stated bed width as D, with more Japanese-room space. |
My recommendation: choose D over G if permanent beds matter; pay more for E only if you will use the extra space. E does not increase the published four-person limit. This is a recommendation from the specifications, not a tested comfort ranking. Compare the same dates, meals and cancellation terms before judging the price difference.
Also check Type K before paying a G/D/E premium. The official Type K page now lists a 47 m² Japanese room for 1–4 guests, a Fuji-facing natural hot-spring open-air bath and a 12-tatami layout. It is another option, not an alias for G. Compare the full offer; a lower rate for K has not been verified. Official Type K — checked October 12, 2026 (JST).
Before a dinner-inclusive booking: the official policy requires arrival by 6 PM; later arrival can mean canceled dinner without a refund. Room-dining applies only to the relevant plan, with up to four dining together.
Official G · Official D · Official E
Agoda omits the Type letter: can the bath name identify it?
No unique match has been verified here. G, D and E share the Fuji-view and open-air-bath features. Match size and bedding as well, and do not treat a hotel-gallery photo as evidence of the selected room. If the details disagree, keep the room unconfirmed rather than assuming the cheapest matching label is G.
The Room Compass: Mountain Focus or Water Focus?
Best when the room itself must deliver the Fuji moment. The verified Types G, D and E combine a Fuji-facing room with a private open-air bath.
Best when you prefer the lake atmosphere or want to prioritize a terrace, sauna, room size or a different private-bath format.
This is not a quality ranking. It is a choice between two different travel experiences. A Fuji-side room can be unforgettable in clear weather, but clouds can hide the mountain. A lake-side room gives you a stable foreground view even when Fuji disappears.
Prefer beds? Compare D and E first. Type G is a Japanese-style room; D and E add two 140 cm-wide beds. All three accept 1–4 guests and their official pages confirm natural hot-spring water.
Type G: 60 m² · Type D: 80 m² · Type E: 102 m²
For three or four guests, confirm additional bedding. Room-dining availability depends on the selected meal plan.
Two Questions the Booking Screen Mixes Together
Look for the official wording “Mt. Fuji Side” or “Lake Kawaguchiko Side.” A hotel-level statement that Konansou has both views does not identify your room.
Open-air bath, semi-open-air bath, indoor bath, terrace and sauna are separate features. “Lake side” does not automatically mean a lake-view open-air bath.
Exact Type-Letter Map
Mt. Fuji side
Lake Kawaguchiko side
Konansou’s official room index lets you filter by side and by features such as open-air hot spring, sauna and semi-open-air hot spring. Use that filter as a first pass, then open the individual room page to verify the Type letter. The OTA name may shorten or translate the official wording.
Fuji-Side Audit: G vs D vs E
Type G is the easiest default recommendation. The official page identifies it as a 7th-floor corner room with large windows showing the broad base of Fuji and an open-air bath from which the mountain can be seen. Type D is the better layout for travelers who dislike sleeping on futons. Type E is the space-led upgrade, not merely a better view.

Lake-Side Audit: The Bath and Sauna Split
The lake-side list is more varied, which makes broad OTA labels riskier. Start with the feature you actually want:
For a couple who wants lake scenery while bathing, Type C is the cleanest match. Type L is a different product: the official page lists a nano sauna, indoor bath and terrace, and notes that its three interior designs cannot be selected. It also warns of eight steps after the elevator, which matters with heavy luggage or limited mobility.
The Weather Hedge Most Comparisons Miss
On a clear morning, the mountain can dominate the entire stay. In low cloud, the room may lose the feature you paid most to secure.
The lake remains part of the scene in mixed weather. When Fuji appears, you can also seek it from shared viewing areas rather than relying only on the room.
If this is your only night in Kawaguchiko and a room-level Fuji view is a lifelong priority, accept the weather risk and book the exact Fuji-side Type. If you are staying two nights, or you value the room even when the mountain is hidden, a lake-side terrace, bath or sauna can be the more resilient purchase.
Room Capacity and Dinner Capacity Are Different
Types G, D and E accept up to four guests on their official pages. The same pages say that room-dining plans can serve meals together for a maximum of four people. For five or more guests, a separate dining venue is arranged.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Konansou rooms have a Mt. Fuji view and private open-air bath?
The verified room types in this guide are G, D and E. All three face Mt. Fuji, have a private open-air bath and accept up to four guests. Availability and translated OTA names vary by date.
Which lake-side room has a private open-air bath?
Type C is the lake-side open-air-bath category compared here: a 78m² Japanese-Western room for two with a Lake Kawaguchiko view and private open-air bath. Type A uses a semi-open-air bath.
Does Type L have a private outdoor onsen?
The official Type L page lists an indoor bath with TV, a nano sauna and a 15m² terrace. Do not treat its terrace or sauna label as proof of a private outdoor hot-spring bath.
Is Type G better than Type D?
Not universally. Type G is 60m² and gives a focused Fuji-view Japanese-room experience. Type D is 80m² and adds twin beds plus a larger Japanese-Western layout. Choose based on sleeping style and space, not the letter alone.
Can four people eat dinner together in the room?
For room-dining plans, the official Type G, D and E pages state that meals can be served together for up to four people. Five or more guests use a separate dining venue. Always check the actual plan attached to your dates.
What if Agoda does not show the Type letter?
Match the side, floor area, capacity, bedding and bath feature against the official room page. If those details do not produce one unique match, ask Konansou to confirm the official Type in writing before the free-cancellation deadline.
Final Choice
Book Fuji side for the mountain; book lake side for the room experience that survives the weather. Within the Fuji family, G is the compact flagship, D adds beds and space, and E is the premium-size option. Within the lake family, C is the open-air-bath choice, L and P are sauna-led choices, O supports up to four, and A offers a semi-open-air bath.
The key is not memorizing every room. It is refusing to pay until the side, Type letter and private feature all agree.
