Fujizakura

My first time ever at an onsen, and despite it being located farther in the opposite direction from Tokyo, it was totally worth it! A great variety of indoor and outdoor baths and types of baths. When you enter, staff is very helpful. Not too far of a walk from the bus stop either. If you have time, make room to spend a good while here to take advantage of all the amenities including spa services and massage chairs and the restaurant.

So I understand Japanese culture is very traditional. I wish it was advertised that people with tattoos are not allowed in ANY hot springs around Mt Fuji...regardless of your nationality. Just a word to the wise...especially if you are traveling a long way.

The site is about 8-9km out from JR Shirakawa station. Transport cans be provided at prescribed time but MUST be arrange ahead. DRiver will not let u into the bus otherwise. There are two pickup points and JR station is of them. The facilities are well kept and one if the outdoor pool claim to have views of Fuji but it was cloudy on our visit. I didnt feel or smell the bath water to be hot spring or thermal water though. But if that's not an issue they have about 5-6 diff pool from cave, outdoor, aromatherapy pool etc.
