Fujiyama Onsen — Attraction in Fujiyoshida

♨️ Rejuvenating Bliss at Fujiyama Onsen**

After an invigorating 3-mile walk exploring the scenic beauty around Mount Fuji, my family and I decided to unwind at Fujiyama Onsen. Nestled in the foothills of Japan’s iconic mountain, this onsen offered the perfect blend of relaxation and traditional Japanese culture.

First Impressions: From the moment we arrived, the serene ambiance and warm hospitality of Fujiyama Onsen enveloped us. The traditional wooden architecture, complemented by tranquil gardens, set the stage for a deeply relaxing experience.

Soothing Waters: The onsen's mineral-rich waters were just what we needed after our hike. We each took turns soaking in the indoor and outdoor baths, which provided stunning views of Mount Fuji. The contrast of the hot, soothing waters with the cool mountain air was invigorating. Our baby, too, seemed to enjoy the calming effect of the warm water in the family-friendly bathing area.

Facilities and Comfort: The onsen was impeccably clean and well-maintained. We appreciated the thoughtful amenities, from the provided yukata (traditional robes) to the well-stocked relaxation areas. The onsen also had private family baths, which were perfect for us to enjoy some quiet time together.

Cultural Experience: The onsen experience was a delightful dive into Japanese culture. We followed the traditional bathing rituals, from washing thoroughly before entering the baths to soaking quietly, respecting the peaceful atmosphere. It was a wonderful way to immerse ourselves in local customs and traditions.

Dining and Relaxation: After our bath, we enjoyed a delicious meal at the onsen's restaurant, featuring fresh, local ingredients. The tatami-matted dining area allowed us to relax and savor our food leisurely. The onsen also had comfortable rest areas with reclining chairs and soothing music, where we spent some time before heading back.

Final Thoughts: Fujiyama Onsen was the perfect end to our adventurous day. The combination of physical relaxation and cultural immersion made it a memorable experience for our family. Whether you’ve just finished a long hike or are simply looking to unwind, Fujiyama Onsen is a must-visit. It rejuvenates the body and soul, all while offering breathtaking views of Mount Fuji on good...

Skip this place. Not worth it. Don’t go here if you don’t have membership, free admission, or coupon from a hotel. This place is expensive for what it is. You pay for a premium day spa price of ¥1,500 per person and ¥750 for kids with “free” towels but you get a sento experience. But even a regular sento from other places are much better than this one. And if you have coupon, it is still expensive and it’s still not worth it. They don’t have steam bath or salt bath, and the outdoor bath was disappointing, there was only one and it was small. You need to pay additional ¥610 for the other bathing facility on the 4th floor which when we went only women was allowed. Had we known that, we shouldn’t have gone to this place. The information on their website isn’t updated. The only good thing about this place though was the design and architecture of the walls and ceilings in bath house area. The materials are impressive, they’re massive solid wood which I admired a lot. The sauna was renewed so it was clean inside. But they still don’t compensate for the overall experience. We went back to our hotel sad and disappointed. I rarely give low star rating, but this one made us really unhappy. The only onsen that made us unhappy. Where to go instead? The Beni Fuji onsen in Lake Yamanakako was so much better, even the quality of the water was different and feels cleaner and refreshing. Beni Fuji have two big outdoor baths, sauna, steam bath, and larger indoor baths, was only ¥800 plus towels are ...

We went out of our way to visit the Fujiyama onsen whilst in the area and weren't disappointed. Having used more than a dozen onsen on our travels across Japan, this was by far the best. At ¥1500 p/p it was three times as expensive as the the more basic springs. However, the price is inclusive of a small spa towel and large bath towel, plus set clothing to change into afterwards, if you want to head up to the restaurant. Every possible toiletry was provided free, from body soap, shampoos, conditioner, moisturiser, facial treatment lotions, hair products and colognes, hairdryers too. Best off all, the onsen was very substantial and could accommodate 100+ users in both women's and men's, with plentiful washing showers (plus a standing one) 8 different pools, a sauna and separate body rub room. The pool choices included the largest indoor and outdoor ones yet seen, fed by natural spa water, a tepid pool, an artificially fed carbonated pool, a cold pool, and several individual pools to lie in, one with jets, the other described to sleep in.

The onsen was very clean, well managed by friendly helpful staff, who also spoke some English... We loved the place and were so pleased to...
