Mount Fuji Travel Guide: Best Hiking Trails & Stunning Views of Japan’s Iconic Peak
Family, let me tell you about the incredible hotel I discovered during my Mount Fuji getaway!
Nestled right beside the serene Lake Kawaguchi with breathtaking views of Mount Fuji, Ubuya Hotel offered an unforgettable experience. The moment I entered my room, I was enchanted by the authentic Japanese tatami design and the warm, inviting atmosphere. But the real showstopper? A private open-air hot spring on the balcony!
Soaking in the mineral-rich waters while gazing at Fuji-san’s majestic silhouette was absolute heaven. For those who enjoy social bathing, the hotel also boasts beautifully designed public onsen facilities.
What truly surprised me was the hotel’s expansive layout. Having previously stayed at Hoshinoya and Kaneyamaen, I can confidently say Ubuya outshines them in both room size and common areas. The value for money here is exceptional, especially considering its prime lakeside location.
Dining was a delightful experience with both dinner and breakfast served at the hotel’s bustling restaurant. The Wagyu shabu-shabu dinner melted in my mouth, while the traditional Japanese breakfast bento showcased the region’s freshest ingredients. Though not gourmet-level, every bite was satisfying and authentic.
Bonus perk: The complimentary shuttle service to Kawaguchiko Station made exploring the area completely stress-free.
I’m already dreaming of my winter return—imagine soaking in warm onsen waters while snow gently falls around Mount Fuji. This hidden gem is the ultimate retreat for nature lovers and relaxation seekers alike!
