4 Best Hotels in Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, Side Trips from Tokyo

Accommodations are a little threadbare but comfortable and right on the lakefront, and the terrace lounge affords fine views of the lake and of Mt. Fuji beyond. The staff speak English and are helpful in planning excursions. The Japanese-style rooms with Mt. Fuji views are well worth spending a bit more for. Rates are significantly higher on weekends and in August.

This is the best resort hotel on Lake Yamanaka, with European-style rooms and all the facilities for a recreational holiday, including on-site game and karaoke rooms and a nature walk on the grounds. The guest rooms are larger than those at the other hotels, and the spacious lounges have fine views of the lake and mountain. Rates are about 20% higher on weekends.

One of the closest lodging options to the Mt. Fuji hiking trails is not much to look at from the outside, but the interior is spacious and homey. The staff speak English and can help you plan an itinerary for visiting the area sights. Meals, including vegetarian options, are available at a very low price. Shuttle service is provided from Fuji Yoshida Station and the Lake Yamanaka bus stop.
