One of the best onsen at the Mt Fuji area. For men’s bath, there are 3 pools indoor and 2 outdoor (can’t take photos). The indoor pools have a jacuzzi and a cold spring water, plus 2 sauna rooms. Wow. The outdoor pools have views of Mt Fuji (too bad, can’t see due to clouds). There are cafes to eat after the onsen and areas for massage chairs. It is a nice relaxation experience one need to do after a 11 hrs hike to Mt Fuji Summit.
This onsen is a tourist trap. If you’re looking for an authentic onsen experience with natural mineral water, you should look elsewhere.
As soon as you enter the indoor bath area, you’re hit with a strong smell of chlorine or a similar chemical. This is not natural spring water. After bathing, my skin was very dry, and it was because of the chlorine. I confirmed with the staff at the front desk that chlorine is added to maintain hygiene standards.
The restaurant is also very limited in its selection. If you do end up coming here, it’s better to eat at one of the nearby restaurants.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see Mt. Fuji this day, it was raining. So we spent the whole day at the hot spring, and it was really good. The food was good in taste and price, the bath facilities were really good and the rest of the space was comfortable.
INCREDIBLY Tattoos UNFRIENDLY. Not mentioned once on the website. Even covers won’t do. More Cameras in the lockers than in a bank. Baths are good but not sensational. Staff was unfriendly, it feels they are entitled for their success quite a lot to make you feel like a nobody. And that’s was also towards Natives.
