4 Highlights of AWAUMI Fuji Lake Kawaguchiko Resort
Here are four standout features that make AWAUMI Fuji Lake Kawaguchiko Resort a truly exceptional place to stay.
1. The First in the Kawaguchiko Area with Private Hot Springs and Saunas in Every Room
One of the resort’s defining features is that every guest unit includes a private natural hot spring and sauna.
The hot springs use "Shurei no Yu" water from the Fuji-Kawaguchiko Onsen-kyo, known for its gentle, alkaline properties that are kind to the skin.
Guests can fill the bath whenever they like and adjust the temperature to their preference—offering the comfort and ease of bathing at home, with the added indulgence of natural onsen water.


The saunas are crafted from natural Japanese cypress and are available 24 hours a day.
Pouring water over the hot sauna stones instantly fills the room with steam, providing an authentic Finnish-style self-löyly experience.
The scent of cypress and the crackling sound of the stones create a deeply relaxing atmosphere that engages all your senses.


2. Unwind with a Glass of Wine by the Poolside
At the center of the resort is a 75㎡ outdoor pool, offering sweeping views of Mt. Fuji on clear days.
At night, the area is lit up, and the flickering fire pits add to the magical ambiance.

The lounge offers unlimited wine—16 varieties, mostly from Yamanashi Prefecture.
With a wide selection from dry to sweet wines, along with soft drinks, both adults and children can enjoy the experience.

3. Luxurious BBQ with the Finest Local Ingredients
Dinner is served BBQ-style and features premium local ingredients, such as "Fujisan Kuroge Wagyu" and “Fuji no Suke,” a hybrid of king salmon and rainbow trout.
The ingredients come pre-cut, so all you need to do is fire up the grill—no hassle with fire-starting or cleanup.

Each unit has a private terrace where you can enjoy BBQ meals indoors, protected from the weather.
A tightly sealed glass door separates the terrace from the living area, so you don’t have to worry about food smells entering the room.

4. A Private Observation Deck with Uninterrupted Views of Mt. Fuji
No trip to Yamanashi is complete without seeing Mt. Fuji.
In response to guest demand, the resort recently added a private observation deck with a clear, unobstructed view of the iconic peak.
Climb the stairs to be greeted by a breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji in its full grandeur.

Whether it’s the mist-covered mountains in the morning or the silhouette glowing in the sunset, the view changes throughout the day and across seasons—making you want to visit again and again.
Exclusively for staying guests, this private deck is the perfect spot to capture Mt. Fuji all to yourself in photos.
