Four Irresistible Charms of AWAUMI Fuji Kawaguchiko Resort
---------------------Let me share with you in detail the four most captivating features that make AWAUMI Fuji Kawaguchiko Resort so special.
1. The First Accommodation in the Lake Kawaguchiko Area with Private Saunas and Onsen in Every Unit!
Without a doubt, AWAUMI Fuji Kawaguchiko Resort’s biggest draw is that every single guest room boasts its own natural hot spring (onsen) and sauna. The onsen water, sourced from “Shurei no Yu” (秀麗之湯 - “Beautiful Spring Waters”) in the Fuji Kawaguchiko Hot Spring Village, is a mildly alkaline spring known for being incredibly gentle on the skin. You can adjust the water temperature to your liking at any time, soaking in complete comfort just like you would in your own bathtub at home.
Listen to the gentle chirping of birds and feel your mind and body relax.
With a heating function, you can enjoy a warm onsen anytime you like.
The saunas are built to authentic specifications using natural hinoki (檜木) cypress wood, and they’re available for use 24 hours a day! You can even enjoy a Finnish-style self-service steam bath by splashing water onto the scorching hot stones, instantly filling the room with high-temperature steam. The refreshing aroma of hinoki cypress combined with the crackling sound of the stones creates an ultimate, multi-sensory relaxation experience.
The refreshing aroma of hinoki cypress is delightful.

All ingredients are pre-cut and ready to be grilled right on your personal stovetop, making for a truly effortless dining experience. There’s no need to light a fire, and absolutely no clean-up required afterward – just pure, unadulterated BBQ enjoyment!
