Shiki-no-Yado Fujisan
7,9/10 Very good - Read reviews
Unique in its location facing Lake Kawaguchi with the majestic Mount Fuji in the background, Shiki-no-Yado Fujisan embodies serenity and elegance in the Fujikawaguchiko region. This ryokan in Fujikawaguchiko offers natural hot springs, relaxing public baths, and a sauna, inviting its visitors to a moment of absolute relaxation. Modern comfort blends with traditional atmosphere in a peaceful setting enhanced by the panoramic view of the surrounding landscapes.
Thanks to their hybrid design, the rooms subtly combine contemporary elements with classic Japanese aesthetics. Tatami floors, low tables, and floor cushions coexist harmoniously with Western beds, air conditioning, and flat-screen televisions. Each room offers a soothing space with its soft carpet, private baths, and yukatas available for guests, allowing them to enjoy a comfortable and authentic experience.
While offering a breakfast lounge with unparalleled landscapes, this establishment is close to a varied selection of local restaurants. A few steps away, cafes and local specialties are available to gourmet explorers. For a more formal meal, an on-site restaurant showcases delicate dishes, paying tribute to Japanese cuisine in an enchanting setting, in the shadow of Mount Fuji.

Japanese Authenticity Rating
4/10 A visible blend of modernity and traditional Japanese elements, but Western influences dominate. The rooms offer limited tatamis, the dining seems unimaginative, and the baths lack immersive authenticity. The exterior architecture is primarily functional, far from the pure essence of a classic ryokan.
