Yamanashi Fujikawaguchiko Town
A historic hotel founded in 1932, shaped by Fuji’s spring waters and universal design
Fuji Lake Hotel is a long-established, historic spa hotel founded in 1932 in Funatsu, Fujikawaguchiko Town, Yamanashi Prefecture. Its universal design makes it welcoming for everyone, and guests can enjoy both the beautiful Lake Kawaguchi and majestic Mount Fuji at the same time. The baths use a gentle natural hot spring with sodium-calcium sulfate water. The hotel also features a low-temperature mist sauna with a soft hinoki aroma, which promotes a light, refreshing sweat without putting strain on the body. Barrier-free guest rooms with private open-air hot spring baths and scenic private hot spring baths are also popular.
A natural hot spring with sodium-calcium sulfate water, brought forth by the rich blessings of Mount Fuji. It is colorless, clear, and gentle on the skin, with excellent heat retention and fatigue-recovery benefits, warming the body from within just by soaking. Enjoy an exceptional hot spring atmosphere in several baths full of natural charm, including the men’s Fuji no Iwaburo open-air bath and the women’s Fuji Hinoki open-air bath.
A low-temperature mist sauna with a gentle hinoki aroma, installed in both the men’s and women’s large public baths. The soft warm mist gently fills the sauna room, slowly warming the body all the way down to the core. With a mild temperature setting that makes it easy to breathe, you can stay in for a long, relaxed session without putting strain on your body, helping improve circulation and gently easing daily fatigue and tension.
For overnight guests only. The large public bath is available from 15:00 to 24:00 and from 05:00 to 10:00 the following morning. The sauna follows the same hours as the large public bath.

Most of what we surveyed never even made it onto this site. This book is a further cut from what did. Our editor bathed in every onsen and sauna in it, and wrote only what they confirmed on the ground.
