RECOMMENDED HOTELS

At Fuji Mountain Guides, you can trust that we know Mt. Fuji really, really well. But we don't live up there; in fact, we live down in the lowlands most of the time, which is where we're very familiar with all types of hotels ranging from big intentional brands, to traditional Japanese style Ryokan, to quirky artisanal hideaways, all the way to budget-friendly backpackers.

We've got recommendations from the places we know best, the Tokyo area and Mt. Fuji area.

Find all our best recommendations on our shortlist below!
