KiotoClásico

Yunohana Onsen, Kameoka, Kyoto — in wooded hills about 8km from JR Kameoka Station, itself about 20 minutes from Kyoto Station by train

Sumiya Kiho-an

京都湯の花温泉すみや亀峰菴

A quiet hot-spring inn half an hour from Kyoto, with rice cooked over a kamado, inari sushi left in your room at night and an art-filled lobby — choose a room with its own onsen bath, and expect some dated corners

Lake KawaguchiPremium

Kawaguchi, Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi — on a steep slope above Lake Kawaguchi facing Mt Fuji, about 15 minutes by taxi from Kawaguchiko Station (no shuttle)

FUFU Kawaguchiko

ふふ河口湖

Thirty-two Mt Fuji-facing suites, each with a lava-stone open-air bath and fireplace, and two MICHELIN Keys — but the Fuji view varies by room, the in-room baths don't appear to be free-flowing, and 2025–2026 guests complain of three-hour dinners and uneven service

Habitaciones con onsen privado

Lake KawaguchiClásico

Funatsu, Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi — on the lakeside road on the south shore of Lake Kawaguchi, a short walk from the ropeway and boat piers, about 10 minutes' walk (or a free shuttle) from Kawaguchiko Station

Kasuitei Ooya

花水庭おおや

A century-old, family-friendly lakeside inn with generous kaiseki dinners (often served in your room) and rooftop baths over Lake Kawaguchi — but Mt Fuji is behind the building, the in-room open-air baths aren't onsen, and the building shows its age

Cerca de Tokio

Lake KawaguchiClásico

Kawaguchi, Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi — on the quiet north shore of Lake Kawaguchi, facing Mt Fuji across the water, about 10 minutes by free shuttle from Kawaguchiko Station (the lakeside sightseeing bus stops at the Kubota Itchiku Art Museum, by the inn)

Shuhokaku Kogetsu

秀峰閣湖月

A 43-room lakeside inn where every room faces Mt Fuji across Lake Kawaguchi, with kaiseki served in your room and free drinks on a foot-bath terrace — but the baths are recirculated, standard rooms have only a shower, and dinner moves to a dining hall from April 2027

Lake KawaguchiClásico

Funatsu, Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi — on the lakeside road on the south shore of Lake Kawaguchi, opposite a large lakeside car park, about 10 minutes' walk (or a free shuttle) from Kawaguchiko Station

Fuji-Kawaguchiko Onsen Konanso

富士河口湖温泉郷湖南荘

A big, polished lakeside inn that still serves kaiseki dinner in your room, with Mt Fuji from the rooftop foot bath — but it stands on the town shore, so 40 of its 50 rooms face the lake rather than Fuji, and the heated spring water has little character

Lake KawaguchiPremium

Asakawa, Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi — en el cabo Ubuyagasaki, en la orilla norte del lago Kawaguchi, frente al monte Fuji al otro lado del agua, a unos 10 minutos en taxi o en el autobús gratuito desde la estación de Kawaguchiko

Kozantei Ubuya

湖山亭うぶや

Un gran ryokan a orillas del lago con la celebración como tema, donde todas las habitaciones miran al monte Fuji al otro lado del lago Kawaguchi — pero los baños al aire libre de las habitaciones no son onsen, la cena es ahora un bufé o shabu-shabu y el Fuji suele esconderse en verano
