Koraku Onyado Fujiginkei is a hot-spring inn in Asakawa, on Lake Kawaguchi, that says you can see Mount Fuji from its rooms, its open-air bath and its restaurant. It posts a photo of the mountain every day. Before you book, three things matter: nearly every room faces Mount Fuji, but the two Western rooms do not; both meals are in a view restaurant, with houto at breakfast, and you cannot choose which dining room; and the cancellation fee starts 10 days before arrival.

Rooms and Mount Fuji views at Fujiginkei
Which rooms look at Mount Fuji?
The official rooms page says almost every room looks out on Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi. The exception is the Western rooms: two rooms with a double bed for one or two guests, which have a toilet and, in the page’s own words, no Mount Fuji view. If the view is why you are coming, choose another type.
What room types are there?

| Bettei Rin, Japanese room | About 10 mats, 2–4 guests, shower room and mist sauna |
| Special rooms Ginkei and Koraku | 3rd floor, 2–5 guests, bath and toilet |
| Japanese-Western rooms | Renovated March 2023; some with bath, three corner rooms with shower room |

Every room has a hair dryer, kettle, TV, air conditioning, towels, toothbrush, shampoo and a samue, a cotton lounge suit to wear in the inn. Sizes are given in tatami mats only.
The baths at Fujiginkei
What are the two baths like?
The open-air bath Fujimi no Yu is on the top floor, facing Mount Fuji and the lake; the inn pictures it with the lakeside lights at night and the mountain at sunrise. The large bath, Meiseki-buro, is surrounded by rough rock walls.
When are the baths open?
From check-in to 24:00 and from 5:00 to 9:30 the next morning. The men’s and women’s baths do not switch. Shampoo, conditioner and body soap are provided, but take your towels and toothbrush from your room.
Can I bathe with a tattoo, or book a private bath?
The official pages do not mention tattoos or a private bath. Ask the inn before you book; our tattoo and onsen guide explains what to ask.
Meals at Fujiginkei
What are dinner and breakfast like?
Dinner is a kaiseki course of seasonal food. You can add a dish, such as sirloin steak, horse sashimi or tempura, and the inn stocks local sake and wine; prices for the extras are not listed. Breakfast is warm food, centered on houto, the thick-noodle hot pot of Yamanashi.
Where are meals served?
Both meals are in a view restaurant looking across the lake to Mount Fuji. There are two dining rooms and both have the view, but the official site says you cannot choose where you eat.
Can the inn handle allergies or a special diet?
The official pages do not mention allergies, vegetarian or halal meals, or meal times. Ask the inn before you book.
Prices, children, cancellation and payment at Fujiginkei
How much does a stay cost?
Prices are on the booking page only, and we could not read them, so we do not give a figure. The plans named on the home page include a seasonal plan with dinner and breakfast, a plan for women and a couples’ plan in the 7th-floor Japanese-style twin. The official site says booking direct gets you its lowest rate.
What do children cost?
The official site does not give children’s rates or age bands. Check the booking page or ask the inn.
What is the cancellation policy?
The official facilities page lists 10 percent of the room charge from 10 days before, 20 percent from 7 days, 30 percent from 3 days, 50 percent the day before, and 100 percent on the day or for a no-show. Check the rule on your plan as well; see our hotel cancellation guide.
How do I pay, and are there taxes?
The official site lists Visa, Mastercard, JCB, American Express, UnionPay, and the Japanese cards UC, DC, NICOS, OMC and Saison. From April 1, 2027, Fujikawaguchiko plans to charge an accommodation tax of 200 yen per person per night, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the town website. We could not find the bathing tax amount on the official pages; ask the inn, and see our onsen bathing tax guide.
Getting to Fujiginkei from Kawaguchiko Station
The inn runs a shuttle from Kawaguchiko Station, about 5 minutes by car. From Shinjuku, take the Chuo Line limited express to Otsuki (about 1 hour), then the Fujikyu Railway to Kawaguchiko (about 40 minutes); highway buses from Shinjuku take about 1 hour 40 minutes and from Haneda Airport about 2 hours 45 minutes. By car, it is about 11 minutes from Kawaguchiko IC, with free parking for about 30 cars.
In the morning, the shuttle leaves between 8:30 and 10:10 toward the station and nearby museums. The official site does not list pickup times for check-in, so tell the inn your arrival time. Our Lake Kawaguchi guide covers what to see nearby.
What foreign guests should know before staying at Fujiginkei
- The official site, the booking page and the contact form are in Japanese only; the form asks for your name in katakana. Calling +81-555-72-0010 is another way to ask.
- The site’s English button leads to a third-party travel site, not to an English page of the inn.
- Avoid the two Western rooms if you want to see Mount Fuji from your room.
