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!

Breakfast and dinner was Amazing. We stayed 2 nights, and only opted dinner for 1 night as we wanted to try out other local dining. The price for dinner is pricey, but I have to say it was worth the experience. A lot of attention to detail in this resort. Loved the room and stay (especially the private hot spring). One area to improve on is to have the host explain the entire facilities. I was wondering around and actually don't know if certain areas are for us to use or not. Communication with the staff was great, but online/email communication was sub-par, which is a bit weird if you ask me.

People were really friendly

The staff are amazing, kind and helpful. The food is also super! The presentation is wonderful and more importantly the flavor is wonderful and balanced. And you better be hungry, because the royal kaiseki dinner is way more food than I was expecting. Even the kids kaiseki is suitable for adults, it's extremely generous. All the facilities and common areas were clean. I would not hesitate to book this hotel again and I will recommend it to any friends/family who may be visiting the area.

Fiji Onsenji Yumendono exceeded our expectations in all aspects. The room was spacious and comfortable with an ample bathing facility leading to a beautiful private onsen. The staff were attentive and considerate of our needs. We are travelling with a 9 month old and during our Kazakai dinner, our hostess helped by entertaining our baby when he was unsettled so that we could enjoy our meal. For the subsequent meals, she moved us to a private dining room and set up a bed for our baby to sleep in while we ate. The staff made every aspect of the trip easier, from clear communication prior to arrival to supporting the logistics of our stay including booking taxis, recommending Fiji viewing areas and being happy to answer any questions. Many of the staff spoke English. I would highly recommend this Onsen to any visitors who are looking for a luxurious, welcoming and hospitable experience.
