It features one of Japan’s largest all-wood bathhouses, inspired by Important Cultural Property architecture from Hida Takayama, and you can enjoy natural hot spring water that is said to have beautifying effects on the skin. Morning baths are available from 6:30 a.m., making it popular among people returning from climbing Mt. Fuji.

In the Lake Yamanakako area, there is also Benifuji no Yu in Yamanakako Village. It is popular as a day-use hot spring with views of Mt. Fuji, but it takes about 30 minutes by car from Kawaguchiko Station. Since it has regular closing days, it is best to check the opening schedule in advance before visiting.
⚠️ Many hot spring facilities do not allow guests with tattoos to enter the baths. Please be sure to check directly with each facility before visiting to confirm whether tattoos are allowed, as rules may change.
