Overview
From Fuji-Q Highland Station, it's about five minutes on foot to HOTEL MYSTAYS Fuji Onsen Resort on the Fujiyoshida side of the amusement park. After a day on the roller coasters, you can walk back for a soak before dinner. On a clear day, Mount Fuji is visible from the baths even if your room faces the other way.
Rooms
Standard twins measure 18.6 square meters. Some face Mount Fuji; others face away from it. If you want to see Fuji from your room, look for a room specifically sold with a Mount Fuji view.
Three adults can share a mountain-facing Family Triple. At just under 27 square meters, it has two wider beds and a narrower third bed, with the toilet separate from the bath. Rooms for four adults are also available, so families and groups needn't split across two rooms.
Facilities
The communal hot-spring baths occupy the top floor. They're open in the early morning and again from midafternoon until late evening, with a break between sessions. Go before breakfast if you want to see the mountain in daylight. An evening soak is still an option after a full day at the park.
Dining
Breakfast and dinner are served as buffets. At breakfast, cooks prepare thick slices of French toast in the open kitchen alongside Japanese dishes such as miso soup and simmered vegetables. Stays with both meals are available if you'd rather eat at the hotel after the rides. The dining room also faces Mount Fuji.
Location and transport
When arriving by local train from Otsuki, get off at Fuji-Q Highland for both the hotel and the park's station-side entrance. Kawaguchiko Station is the next stop and the place to change to a sightseeing bus for Lake Kawaguchi. The hotel itself isn't on the lakeshore.
Airport access
A direct highway bus from Haneda Airport calls at Fuji-Q Highland, but it uses the park's highway bus terminal rather than the railway station beside the other entrance. With luggage, another option is to stay on the bus to Kawaguchiko Station and take a taxi. The drive to the hotel takes about five minutes.
Why stay here
Walking distance from the rides lets you spend the whole day at the park without worrying about a return train. Dinner and the hot springs are back at the hotel when you're ready to leave.
Fuji-Q Highland has gentler children's rides as well as roller coasters, while sightseeing buses around Lake Kawaguchi follow the shore and stop at museums along the way.
