Mt. Fuji is one of the most magical places in Japan, and the greater Mt. Fuji area near Lake Kawaguchiko is one of the most popular places to stay overnight near Tokyo. So if you’re planning on staying near Mt. Fuji, why not elevate your experience by staying somewhere with a Mt. Fuji view and a private onsen?
Many Mt. Fuji accommodation options offer amazing views of the mountain from their rooftops, balconies, and onsen hot springs (the area is volcanic, after all). Soak in some views of Mt. Fuji before soaking in an onsen at these 10 Mt. Fuji-view hotels with private onsen!
This post of Mt. Fuji private onsen accommodation options includes everything from no-frills Mt. Fuji hotels to incredible ryokan (traditional Japanese inns), from the ultra-luxury to the budget-friendly.
Where hotels have rooms are available to reserve with private onsen and Mt. Fuji views, I’ve made sure to mention this in bold. You can sometimes tell by the name of the room on Booking.com that it has a private onsen with Mt. Fuji views as well.

10 Mt. Fuji View Hotels with Private Onsen
The Mt. Fuji hotels with private onsen listed below are ordered by price (USD) at the time of writing (lowest to highest) for rooms with breakfast and dinner included, if available. If you’re traveling to Mt. Fuji and Japan on a budget, it’s best to stick to the private onsen options at the top of the list.
That being said, it’s definitely worth taking a peek at the luxurious onsen hotels at the bottom of my list too. Often times if you pay a little more, you’ll have Mt. Fuji views included in the private onsen soak. Paying a little more often means Japanese kaiseki, or multi-course meals, are also included in the accommodation cost. You won’t want to leave once you’re checked in!
Make sure to check Booking.com to confirm the latest rates.
