The phrase “don’t judge a book by its cover” has never rang more true, than with the initial impressions of this luxury offering. It’s absolutely perfect for a few nights if Mount Fuji is on your bucket list, with a world of adventure waiting within.
Stay at Hoshinoya Fuji
Nestled on a hillside dressed in maple, red pines and cherry, this unexpected hideaway supplies the joys of the outdoors. Beyond its unadorned concrete walls, sensations are enlivened, whilst the picture-perfect peak of Fuji juts out in the distance.Your south-facing cabin frames Lake Kawaguchi perfectly. The first morning, you admire this scene from afar. The next sees you out on the waters, as you experience a milky sunrise via canoe. Explore the surrounding woodland on two wheels later, before heading to the Cloud Terrace via rustic paths. Replace bikes for bonfires as daylight retires. Toast marshmallows beside your fellow nature lovers, exchanging personal anecdotes and tales.
Location
Hoshinoya Fuji serves an epic location, overlooking the gorgeous Lake Kawaguchi. The views from this glamping resort stretch all the way to Mount Fuji. Meanwhile, the journey from the railway station is only a 20-minute drive.
Rooms
Home to just 40 cabins, the property exudes an exclusive vibe. Stays spread between a forested slope and come in four varying categories. However, all embed subtle minimalist-chic design, with terraces showcasing a vista of Japan’s most iconic mountain.
Who is it for
Though the F Cabin does host an extra bed for families, there’s no denying the grown-up feel of this intimate boutique. As such, it is perhaps more suited to couples.
Facilities & activities
The wilderness-entrenched estate hosts alternative amenities. They come in the form of a hammock-lined Cloud Terrace, cosy Library Cafe and immersive activities, such as sunrise canoeing, aerial stretching and food smoking workshops. Finally, F&B comprises the al fresco Forest Kitchen, the Dining Hall or in-room meals out on the terrace.
