WHY STAY
Tucked into the tranquil forests overlooking Lake Kawaguchi, with breathtaking views of the iconic Mount Fuji, HOSHINOYA Fuji is Japan’s first luxury glamping resort, designed to immerse guests in the quiet power of nature. The resort is seamlessly integrated into the sloping wooded hillside, where minimalist cabins with floor-to-ceiling windows frame the lake and mountain beyond. The surrounding landscape, with its ever-changing seasons—misty mornings, crimson autumn leaves, and snow-dusted peaks—creates a constantly shifting backdrop that invites guests to slow down and observe. Nature here isn’t just a setting; it is the protagonist of the entire experience.
The philosophy behind HOSHINOYA Fuji is rooted in Japanese reverence for nature, embracing the belief that harmony with the natural world brings inner peace. The resort's understated design avoids excess, allowing the beauty of Mount Fuji, the forest, and the lake to take center stage. Every element—from the simple architecture and the quiet pathways through the trees to the soft rituals around food and fire—is meant to evoke mindfulness and presence. HOSHINOYA Fuji doesn’t just offer a place to stay; it offers a way to experience nature as the Japanese have for centuries—with humility, respect, and deep appreciation.
Stay in one of the minimalist cabins with glass walls and spacious terraces, designed to let the surrounding nature in. Light a fire at night. Watch the stars and the faraway towns twinkling in the distance. Visit the Cloud Terrace - a pathway of stairs built along the slope, leading to a tiny cafe with the most awe-inspiring views.
WHY WANDER
HOSHINOYA Fuji offers more than just beautiful views—it curates experiences that deepen the connection between guests and the land. Canoeing across the still waters of Lake Kawaguchi at sunrise, gathering around open fires, forest trekking, and participating in woodcraft workshops allow guests to engage directly with the forest and lake environment. Evenings are spent beneath the stars, warmed by crackling fires, where quiet moments become the highlight of the stay.
