Which to choose
Hoshinoya Fuji or Fufu Kawaguchiko?
Both face Mount Fuji from the hills above Lake Kawaguchi, but they are different kinds of stay. Hoshinoya Fuji is a glamping resort of cabins in a hillside pine forest, with meals booked separately; Fufu Kawaguchiko is a hot-spring house of suites, with kaiseki and breakfast sold in plans with the room.
