Fuji Onsenji Yumedono

Fuji Onsenji Yumedono was, unfortunately, the biggest disappointment of our trip. The rooms, despite being described as high-category and spacious, felt very ordinary and lacked any sense of uniqueness. There is absolutely no view — the property is located directly at the intersection of two busy roads, and you can hear constant traffic. Yes, there is a private onsen in the room, but sitting in it while listening to cars passing by and looking at a traffic light feels more like being in a bathtub on the street rather than a tranquil hot-spring experience. The staff are polite, but it is extremely difficult to get anything beyond the basic minimum. Breakfast is strictly at 8:00 or 8:30, dinner must be booked in advance and is very expensive (though, to be fair, it is an interesting experience and the service in the restaurant is excellent). Outside of dinner, however, there is no room service at all — you can’t even get a piece of bread or anything small if you need it. For the price they charge, this hotel is simply not worth it. There are many other options in the area that offer far better views, atmosphere, comfort and hospitality. Sadly, this stay felt like a complete letdown, especially considering the cost.

We had a very nice time on our stay at this small quiet hotel. We had the Shikibu room and appreciated the spaciousness. It had an outdoor garden view as well as a separate private small outdoor onsen. The onsen looks tiny on first impression but it was nice and we enjoyed the outside seating area too. The beds were comfortable and the linens were nice, and definitely get the breakfast. Amazing breakfast! The staff were friendly and very helpful with transportation back to the train station. Some of the bathroom features were a little bit worn, but everything else was great.

It’s a nice property but not worth the premium price they charge.

Lovely, peaceful, and relaxing atmosphere

We chose the dinner option for the 2 nites. We had fantastic Japanese Kaiseki meals and great Japanese breakfasts. Great service from the staff.
