Its natural onsen drawn from Mount Fuji includes indoor baths and garden-style open-air rock baths, free to use as often as you like during your stay.

Set on the shore of Lake Kawaguchi with views of Mount Fuji, this hotel blends Japanese and Western style. Built around the idea of a hotel that still feels like a Japanese inn, it brings a tatami area into almost every room and centers the stay on a relaxed pace around the natural onsen.
Rooms
Room types range from standard renovated twins and Hollywood twins to Japanese-style tatami rooms, including a large tatami room for up to 12 guests, and modern Japanese-Western rooms. Almost every room has a tatami area, so small children can move around freely on the floor. All rooms come with Wi-Fi, a TV, an electric hot-water kettle, a tea set, a refrigerator, air conditioning, body soap, shampoo, conditioner, a toothbrush, a razor, towels, yukata and in-house slippers as standard.
Kaiun no Yu natural onsen
The natural onsen is drawn from Mount Fuji and is a hypotonic, weakly alkaline spring. There are two baths each for men and women: a granite indoor bath and a garden-style open-air rock bath. Guests can use them free of charge as often as they like during their stay. The open-air bath is kept on the cooler side, and at night you can hear the waves along the lakeshore. Day-use bathing is also available for a fee. A bathing tax of 150 yen per adult applies separately.
Dining
Dinner and breakfast are served at the in-house restaurant Kaiuntei. A kids' menu is available, making it an easy place for families to eat. Breakfast is a Japanese set menu. Please confirm meal times with the hotel. On plans without dinner, check-in is possible until 2 a.m.
Nearby sightseeing
The hotel makes a well-placed base for the Fuji Five Lakes area, with Fuji-Q Highland a few minutes away by car, plus the Fuji Visitor Center, the Lake Kawaguchi sightseeing bus and Oishi Park. Kawaguchiko Station is within walking distance, so you can also explore the surrounding area on foot.
Who it suits
Easy access to the natural onsen and the tatami area found in almost every room make this a practical choice for families with children. A kids' menu takes care of the dining side as well, and the generous free parking for 60 cars is another draw for families traveling by car.
