Kawaguchiko Park Hotel Lake Kawaguchi · Onsen, Houto
Guide·November 4, 2026·11 min read·Sourced & cross-checked

Kawaguchiko Park Hotel is a mid-size, homey hotel in Funatsu, on the Kawaguchiko side of Lake Kawaguchi. It began in 1950 as an independent shop, became a Japanese inn, and has run as Kawaguchiko Park Hotel since 1984; it says it wants guests to feel like saying “I’m home.” Before you book, three things matter: the hot spring, Fuyo no Yu, is in the shared baths, and the family baths in the special rooms are not hot spring water; all meals are in the dining room, with houto noodle hot pot at breakfast; and the free shuttle from Kawaguchiko Station runs only on request.

Honto check: Every rule and figure below is from Kawaguchiko Park Hotel’s official Japanese site and its official booking page (both in Japanese; there is no English page), plus the Fujikawaguchiko town website for the new tax, read on October 20, 2026. We have not stayed there. Deliberately not stated: the tattoo rule, whether there is a private hot-spring bath to book, vegetarian or halal meals, how you pay at the front desk, a curfew and the capacity of each room, none of which the official pages give. We also leave out the number of rooms and the latest check-in time, because different official pages give different figures; ask the hotel.

How far is it from Kawaguchiko Station?

The hotel is about 15 minutes on foot or 4 minutes by taxi from Kawaguchiko Station on the Fujikyu Line. A free shuttle runs between the station and the hotel from 15:00 to 20:00; the official site asks you to request it when you book. Our Lake Kawaguchi guide covers what to see once you are there.

Is there a highway bus stop nearby?

The booking page says a highway bus from Busta Shinjuku stops right in front of the hotel at the Oike Koen Minami stop. Check the current timetable with the bus company before you travel.

Can I drive?

Yes. There is free parking for 30 cars and 3 large buses, plus two electric-vehicle charging stations.

The hot spring at Kawaguchiko Park Hotel

When is Fuyo no Yu open?

Fuyo no Yu is a natural hot spring from the Kawaguchiko Onsen source, with separate indoor and outdoor baths for men and women. It is open 15:00 to 24:00 and 5:00 to 9:30 the next morning. The official hot-spring page describes the water as a calcium and sodium sulfate-chloride spring, clear, at around 40°C. The women’s bath has shower booths.

Are the in-room baths hot spring water?

No. A few special rooms have a family bath with a large tub, but the booking page states that the family baths in the rooms are not hot spring water. The official pages do not list a private hot-spring bath to book.

Can I bathe with a tattoo?

The official pages do not mention tattoos. Ask the hotel before you book; our tattoo and onsen guide explains what to ask.

Rooms at Kawaguchiko Park Hotel

Rooms come in several types, and some have a family bath, some a unit bath and some only a shower room. All have free Wi-Fi, an empty fridge, an electric kettle, a safe and yukata, including children’s sizes.

What are dinner and breakfast like?

Both meals are served in the dining room, which is booked in advance; the booking page says in-room dining is not offered. Dinner is a Japanese course meal of seasonal food, with Kagoshima black pork “Kuro no Takumi” as shabu-shabu or steak, depending on the plan. Breakfast centers on houto, the thick-noodle hot pot of Yamanashi. The rice is 100 percent Akitakomachi from Ogata, Akita.

Can I order anything extra?

The dining page lists simmered abalone, a Koshu specialty, at 6,000 yen and horse-meat sashimi at 4,000 yen per person, both before tax and both to be ordered at least 3 days ahead.

Can the hotel handle allergies?

Tell the hotel about food allergies when you book; it says it will do what it can, but last-minute requests may be hard and trace amounts can occur because dishes are made in the same kitchen. The official pages do not mention vegetarian or halal meals.
