What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the breathtaking panoramic views of Mt. Fuji from the various hot spring baths, describing the experience as tranquil and unforgettable. The diverse range of baths, from cave to carbonated, and the clean facilities are also highly praised. While some find the price slightly high, most agree it's well worth the cost. A few mention the inconvenience of having to dress and undress between baths and the restaurant, and some staff at the reception could be friendlier.
"Beautiful onsen with a majestic view of Mt. Fuji. Taking a bath with the panoramic view of this mountain is an indescribable feeling.
There are about 6-7 baths in both men & women sections each. They're well maintained and clean.
Unfortunately, men & women have to bath separately unlike the German saunas.
The most annoying part is that you have to dress up to go to the restaurant and undress again for the baths.
They also offer a free shuttle service from and to the Kawaguchiko station, which is quite nice."

"Be sure to set aside plenty of time for your visit. After paying the entrance fee, you can enjoy unlimited access to the onsen. Additionally, you can dine at the restaurant or unwind in the relaxation zone. For extra privacy, a private room with Mt. Fuji view is available for 2,800 yen per hour. Don't forget to bring some coins to get a bottle of milk from the vending machine. It's a charming and traditional custom."

"A little pricey, I thought at first. But then I realized it was definitely worth it! It cost 1,700 per person. Towels are included in the fee; there’s shampoo, conditioner, body soap, shaver in the baths.
Not only is the view of Mt. Fuji great from the outdoor bath, but it was also so fun exploring the different baths they had - from the mist sauna and cave bath to the carbonated onsen and fragrant baths. Not sure if they change the herb in the fragrant baths, but it was lavender when we went, my favorite flower!
Tattoos aren’t allowed, but no one’s checking and most people don’t mind nowadays as long as it isn’t too big and intimidating."

The Ultimate Lake Kawaguchi Guide (2025)
Onsen, or hot springs, are one of the best ways to enjoy Japan during the cooler months. The Fuji Yurari onsen allows day visitors and features several indoor pools as well as two outdoor pools with views of Mt. Fuji. Since all of the onsen I could find in the area ban tattoos, I ended up booking a room with its own private one (see below), but if that’s out of your budget, this is a great place to visit if you have no ink.
Hot Spring with a View of Mt. Fuji
For those who are unfamiliar with the concept, most hot springs in Japan (or onsens, in Japanese) are public bath houses where guests share the same bathing space (and yes, everyone is naked). However, private onsens exist as well, and they are called “kashikiri onsen” in Japanese. Often times, onsens will have more than one bath to choose from, and some can even be enjoyed outside.

The Omni Bus Blue Line stops near Yurari (25 minutes from Kawaguchiko). Alternatively, regular buses from Kawaguchiko Station bound for Shin-Fuji, Shimobe Onsen and Motosuko stop near Yurari. Get off at the Fuji Midorino Kyukamura bus stop (20 minutes, 530 yen from Kawaguchiko, one bus every hour), from where the bath house can be reached in a short walk off the main road.
