Hoshinoya Fuji is a design focused glamping resort located on a slope of red pines overlooking beautiful Lake Kawaguchi, with spectacular uninterrupted views of Mt. Fuji. The creators of the resort describe it as a sophisticated playground for inquisitive souls designed to awaken senses and instincts that have been numbed by contemporary life.

“Glamping is a stylish form of play, designed to stimulate the dormant senses - without the toil and labour associated with camping”

Minimalist concrete cabins appear scattered about the pine forest with their angular permanence in contrast to the softer surrounding landscape. The cabins have been carefully positioned and designed to make the most of the extraordinary views, with one third of each cabin occupied by a living room style balcony, blurring the lines between indoors and out. Inside they are thoughtfully furnished with an emphasis on creating a space which encourages you to relax and switch off and embrace the views of the surrounding nature.

The resort offers many activities and adventures for guests from early morning lake canoeing to guided e-bike tours around the foothills of Mt. Fuji. Hiking and mountain trekking routes are available for those in search of adventure and all the equipment you could need is provided by the resort - including knowledgeable local guides. More leisurely pursuits are on offer in and around the resort. Under the watchful eye of the glamping masters you can tick off a wish list of outdoor activities you have always wanted to try; smoking wild meat from local hunters, preparing a meal in a Dutch Oven and making pizza in wood burning oven.

Resort guests naturally congregate at the fire pit which is perpetually burning at the very highest point of the resort know as the ‘Cloud Forest’. You can choose either to dine up on this platform and get involved with grilling your local game with the chefs, or there are a number of alternatives including private grills on your balcony, or the Dining Room restaurant offering a large grill station where the chef will prepare your chosen meal just how you like it. Menus consist of multiple courses of French-inspired fare prepared with local ingredients found in the scrounging landscape. Hoshinoya Fuji is a unique concept and a destination not to be missed if you want to connect with the beautiful Japanese countryside which comes to life in different ways depending on the season.
