Super Hotel Gotemba 2

About 2 minutes by car from Gotemba IC, a Super Hotel that works well for the night before sightseeing

Super Hotel Gotemba 2 is a business hotel in an easy-to-find spot, about 2 minutes by car from Gotemba IC on the Tomei Expressway. Parking for 70 cars is available on a first-come, first-served basis, so it suits families using a car as their base for Gotemba Premium Outlets and the leisure spots around Mount Fuji. Check-in is at 3 p.m. and checkout at 10 a.m. Its Rakuten Travel rating is a consistently high 4.21 out of 5 (854 reviews), and families appreciate the value of a natural onsen and free breakfast at a low room rate. It is a practical choice for families who plan to spend the day out sightseeing and treat the hotel as a place to soak in the onsen and sleep.

Fuji Azami no Yu, a natural onsen communal bath fed directly from Oku-Yugawara

The hotel's signature feature is Fuji Azami no Yu, a communal bath where you can enjoy natural onsen water delivered directly from Oku-Yugawara to Gotemba. The spring water is weakly alkaline and hypotonic, so it is gentle on the skin and suits bathing with children who are not used to onsen. The communal bath runs on a timetable that alternates between men and women: men can use it from 3 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. and from 10 p.m. to 6:30 a.m., and women from 7 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. and from 6:45 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. (times are subject to change). If you are bringing a young child, it is worth checking the available time slots in advance. As a business hotel, guest rooms generally have an en-suite bathroom, and the loan of items such as a baby bath is not guaranteed, so please contact the hotel directly when booking if you need one.

A free breakfast buffet with organic vegetables and freshly baked bread, plus a free welcome bar

Super Hotel's signature free breakfast buffet features a daily changing menu built around nutritional balance, including salads made with seasonal organic vegetables and a wide variety of freshly baked bread. Breakfast is served from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 6:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Sundays and public holidays. The bread and salads are easy for children to eat, so mornings are one less thing for parents to worry about. In the evening there is a free welcome bar, with soft drinks served from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. and alcoholic drinks from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., so you can toast with juice alongside your children after a soak in the bath (serving times are subject to change).

Free co-sleeping for children under school age, and rooms the family can share

Children under school age stay free of charge when co-sleeping. They still count toward the total number of guests, so include them when you set the party size at the time of booking. Guest rooms are designed mainly with business travelers in mind, but some types sleep up to 3 or 4 people and work for a family stay. Every room has an air purifier with a humidifying function, which helps keep the air comfortable during dry seasons when traveling with children. Children's slippers and toothbrushes are offered as amenities, in limited quantities. Pajamas are one-size-fits-all only, and there are no children's sizes. The entire property became non-smoking at the end of January 2026, so there is no concern about smoke.

How to plan a stay with children

Checkout is at 10 a.m., which is on the early side, so it is best to allow yourself plenty of time in the morning. Cribs, bed guards and similar items are not kept as standard in the rooms, so the surest approach is to contact the hotel directly in advance about whether the items you need are available to borrow. It is an easy hotel around which to build a satisfying, budget-friendly Gotemba stay: a day out at the outlets or around Mount Fuji, a natural onsen after check-in, and the free buffet the next morning.
