Fuji Onsenji Yumedono

We booked this hotel as a bit of a splurge having read the excellent reviews and the inclusion of a private outdoor onsen as part of the room. Rooms were beautifully appointed (modern, high end, traditional) with everything you could need. Loved the delineation of outside shoes and inside footwear and the provision of yukata's for dining. The food is traditional Japanese and we enjoyed the hotel dinner one night which was 8 courses of incredibly unique and delicious dishes (with a significant proportion of seafood.) The service was impeccable, friendly and polite, you are escorted to breakfast and dinner to your dedicated eating space. Lounge access is open for tea, coffee and juice throughout the day. But truly the best part was, after a day of cycling around the lakes or hiking, to be able to sink into 41 degree water in your own private onsen... bliss!

The hotel's interior design and touches are beautiful. The room was very clean and comfortable with Japanese style futon beds. We enjoyed the outside onsen and bathroom products. Breakfast was a Japanese feast, with an incredible amount of tastes and courses. The staff were very kind and helpful.

Everything about Fuji Onsenji Yumedono is wonderful. It is located on a very busy street in Fujikawaguchiko, however once you arrive at the property you are transported to a quiet oasis of calm and beauty. The property is refined and beautiful complete with delightful koi pond. Our room with the private onsen was perfect and clean. We ordered dinner and are very glad we did as it was exceptional! One of the best meals we had in Japan (and we dined at some of the finest restaurants in Tokyo and Kyoto) The food was delicious and the presentation extraordinary. I took photos of the food which I do not typically do, see attached. I did not get great photos of the property that do it justice. The staff is professional and attentive. The gentleman that tended to us the most was so very lovely and even shared his recommendations for the best place to view Mt Fuji. You can walk right up to the top of the street for a great sighting!

Teishoku style breakfasts were excellent and included with the stay. We were placed on an upstairs area for our checkout day breakfast with a perfect view of Mt Fuji. Room was comfortable in all aspects. Noise from the surrounding roads was mysteriously blocked out very well. Some nice complimentary drinks. Staff were very professional and always trying to make your stay more convenient/comfortable in some way. Shuttle provided to Kawaguchiko station.

A Truly Special Traditional Ryokan Experience at Fuji Onsenji Yumedono We stayed at Fuji Onsenji Yumedono, a beautiful traditional Japanese ryokan located near Lake Kawaguchiko, and it was a truly special experience. We booked two rooms — one was a newer, modern villa-style suite in a separate area, which was absolutely lovely. The other room, for three adults, was located in the main building and was more traditional and a bit older in style. Each room includes a private onsen, which was a real highlight. Soaking in the hot spring bath after a long day of exploring was incredibly relaxing and luxurious. The main building has a cozy lounge with complimentary hot and cold drinks, available throughout the day — a very nice touch. The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive, offering some of the best service we encountered in Japan. Breakfast was served in a traditional Japanese-style dining room. Since we don’t eat fish, the staff kindly arranged a Western-style breakfast for us the next morning without any issue. Overall, this was a unique and memorable experience, blending warm hospitality, traditional charm, and modern comfort. Highly recommended for those seeking a peaceful and authentic stay near Mount Fuji.
