Overview
Shuhokaku Kogetsu Kawaguchiko is a long-established onsen ryokan on the north shore of Lake Kawaguchi, where every guest room looks straight out at a spectacular view of Mount Fuji and the lake. It has natural hot spring bathing with a communal bath, sauna and open-air bath, a varied choice of rooms (Japanese-style tatami rooms, Japanese-Western rooms, rooms with an antechamber and rooms with an open-air bath) and kids' meals, which makes it a good fit for two-generation family trips. A shuttle runs from Kawaguchiko Station.
A long-established onsen ryokan on the north shore of Lake Kawaguchi, where every guest room faces Lake Kawaguchi and Mount Fuji. Its greatest draw is a setting in which Mount Fuji is in view from all rooms, and from your own room you can watch the spectacular contrast of light and water shift moment by moment through the seasons and from morning to midday to evening against the mountain.
A Wide Range of Rooms
The lineup runs from the standard 12.5-tatami Japanese-style tatami rooms, all of which have a broad window-side space, to 10-tatami Japanese-style tatami rooms with a 6-tatami antechamber, which the ryokan recommends as ideal for two-generation trips. There are also Japanese-Western rooms combining a 12-tatami Japanese-style tatami area with twin beds, rooms with a footbath in several styles including Japanese-style tatami rooms with an open-air onsen footbath, an indoor bath and a balcony, and rooms with an open-air bath on the third and second floors, such as the Corner Terrace Twin, Western-style twin and Japanese-modern triple rooms with an open-air onsen bath. The tatami rooms with an antechamber are especially practical for two-generation families with children, since the children have a separate room to move around in.
Onsen and Bathing Facilities
The natural hot spring, a calcium-sodium sulfate spring, feeds a communal bath, a sauna and an open-air bath. Every guest room and the open-air bath look straight out at Lake Kawaguchi and Mount Fuji. A bathing tax of 150 yen per adult applies separately.
