Overview
Fujilake Hotel is a long-established hot spring hotel on the shore of Lake Kawaguchi, founded in 1932 (Showa 7) and certified as a Welcome Baby-friendly hotel.

Set on the shore of Lake Kawaguchi in the shadow of sacred Mount Fuji, this long-established hot spring hotel was founded in 1932 (Showa 7). Its founder was a doctor who studied hospitality in the United States, and that spirit lives on in the hotel's barrier-free, universal-design philosophy today, creating a place where guests from babies to the elderly can stay with peace of mind. It is certified as a "Welcome Baby-friendly Hotel" by the Miki House Child Care Research Institute.
