Lakeland Hotel Mizunosato
8,5/10 Excellent - Based on 1369 reviews
Somewhere, between the tranquil mirror of Lake Kawaguchi and the majestic silhouette of Mount Fuji, nestles a sanctuary of harmony: the Lakeland Hotel Mizunosato. This ryokan in Fujikawaguchiko transcends a simple hotel to become a portal to Japanese serenity. The hot springs, wrapped in delicate steam, offer an intimate dialogue with nature, whether you’re in a spacious public bath or an outdoor jacuzzi. The colorful yukata, which guests can choose, add a touch of elegance, elevating each moment lived here out of time.
The rooms, varied yet always imbued with refinement, poetically blend tradition and modernity. Authentic tatami mats, comfortable futons, and relaxation spaces offer a peaceful refuge for souls seeking rest. Some rooms reveal their splendor with a celestial view of Mount Fuji, or outdoor bathtubs where each bath becomes a ceremony dedicated to contemplation. For each visitor, these spaces resonate like a promise of escape.
Finally, the culinary experience at the Hanamizuki restaurant extends this sensory journey. Each dish, expertly orchestrated from fresh local products, seems to be a tribute to the Japanese art of living. Guests can enjoy these wonders while admiring the shimmering lake below. In the surroundings, cafes and restaurants add to this immersion, offering their own symphony of flavors, for a complete exploration of Fujikawaguchiko.
