Experience Spectacular Views of Mt. Fuji from Above the Sea of Clouds Due to High Elevation

At Hotel Mt.Fuji, located at an elevation of approximately 1,100 meters, you can see the magnificent Mt. Fuji from every room. In the morning, a "sea of clouds" formed by rising mist spreads out below your eyes. It's a mystical phenomenon that makes you feel as if you're floating above the clouds.

The best season for the sea of clouds is from late September to November and from March to early April. For those who want to see the fantastical scenery of the sea of clouds, we recommend choosing your stay during these seasons. When you breathe in the crystal-clear air and gaze at Mt. Fuji, you'll feel as if your heart has been purified.

Enjoy the Combination of Sea of Clouds, Sunrise, and Mt. Fuji in the Morning

In the morning, illuminated by the sunrise, both the sea of clouds and Mt. Fuji glow orange. By watching from sunrise until the sun has fully risen, you can see how Mt. Fuji's colors gradually change. You'll be captivated by the beautiful scenery woven together by the sky's beautiful gradation, the sea of clouds, and the sunrise.

Mt. Fuji's appearance differs by season. In summer, you can feel the magnificent energy of the earth, while in winter when snow falls on the summit, it displays a beautiful visual with an elegant atmosphere. Choosing which season to visit based on what kind of Mt. Fuji scenery you want to see is one way to enjoy your experience.

At Hotel Mt.Fuji, surrounded by vast skies and nature, you can gaze at a sky full of stars on clear nights. This is something you can never see in urban areas with abundant ground lighting. You'll be moved by the breathtakingly beautiful sight.

For those who want to mainly enjoy stargazing, we recommend the "Starry Night Plan." From a special room on the top floor prepared for stargazing, you can view the expansive starry sky scenery using professional binoculars. A night spent savoring the dynamic Mt. Fuji and glittering stars will become an unforgettable memory.

Enjoy the Magnificent Nature of Mt. Fuji with Nothing to Obstruct the View

Hotel Mt.Fuji consists of 5 floors above ground and 1 basement level, with a spacious horizontal structure. A courtyard is provided in the central part of the first floor, where you can enjoy panoramic views of Mt. Fuji and Lake Yamanaka.

There are no buildings around the hotel to obstruct your view. Natural scenery spreads across your entire field of vision, allowing you to fully enjoy Mt. Fuji's magnificence. Sit on a bench, breathe in the air, and spend some relaxing time.

My recommendation is the starry sky as seen from the courtyard. On clear nights, go out to the courtyard and look up at the sky. You'll encounter a starry sky more wonderful than any you've seen before.
