Booked a private onsen on a weekend. Though I like the privacy but it was too costly at 7000yen for an hr weekend rate. The room was nice but because we can only soak for 15 to 20mins the most, it was a waste and we went at dusk, so could not see Mt Fuji clearly too

There was a lot of parking on Monday! The deep bath was new t...

Fuji—an absolutely breathtaking sight, especially during sunrise or sunset. The tranquil ambiance of soaki...

We only had 2 hours here but we could have spent all day with the restaurant, snack bar and beautiful relaxation areas in the facility. Pictures of the...
