The footbath terrace at Shuhokaku Kogetsu reflects the ever-changing "upside-down Mount Fuji"
"Upside-down Fuji" from the footbath terrace
Located in the Fujikawaguchiko Onsen area of Yamanashi Prefecture, Shuhokaku Kogetsu is a hot spring inn offering a panoramic view of Lake Kawaguchiko right in front of you and the majestic Mount Fuji beyond. You can enjoy the spectacular view from various places in the hotel, including the guest rooms, baths, and lobby.
One place you definitely want to visit is the Mt. Fuji View Footbath Terrace, which opened in 2023 within the garden. This is a spectacular spot where you can soak your feet in a footbath that uses water from the source of Kawaguchiko Onsen and gaze upon the "upside-down Fuji" reflected in a basin that connects to the lake surface. You can enjoy the different faces of Mt. Fuji in each season, from the cherry blossoms in spring, the red Fuji in summer, the autumn leaves, and the snow-covered scenery in winter.
Free drinks are provided in the lounge where you can enjoy a foot bath
The Evening Primrose Lounge offers complimentary Yamanashi wine and herbal tea from 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM. There are also mini tables set up on the terrace where you can enjoy a foot bath with your favorite drink in hand.
The second floor of the building has Japanese-style rooms with foot baths and Japanese-Western rooms, and the view of Mt. Fuji from the wooden deck is also exceptional. On the third floor, there are a variety of guest rooms, including corner terrace twin rooms with open-air baths, Western-style rooms, and Japanese modern rooms.
