It's a very large facility where we enjoyed a variety of pools and hot springs. The stage show was especially wonderful. The building felt old. We stayed at the affiliated glamping accommodation, Mauna Village. Guests could use a free shuttle bus from Tokyo. The bus got stuck in traffic, so it's best to allow plenty of extra time.

Lake Yamanaka（Yamanaka-ko）

Lake Yamanaka covers an area of about 6.57 square kilometers and is about 980.5 meters above sea level. It is located at the third highest point in Japan. The lake is the closest to Mt. Fuji among the “Fuji Five Lakes " and offers beautiful scenery of the four seasons with the majestic Mt.Fuji.

We stayed at a hotel on the shore of Lake Yamanaka and enjoyed the beautiful scenery as it changed throughout the day. Early in the morning, we saw not only swans but also deer running powerfully.

Fukuchizan Shuzenji Temple

This temple is located in the Shuzenji Onsen Town, where the scenery is beautiful from season to season. The temple is called Fukuchizan Shuzenji, short for "Fukuchizan Shuzen Bannan Zenji." The temple is also known as the setting of "Shuzenji Monogatari" written by Okamoto Kido, a writer active in the Meiji era.

Shuzenji Temple is located in the Shuzenji Onsen town.
To my surprise, warm hot spring water was flowing from the dragon's mouth at the purification fountain.
I visited in September, so it wasn't yet fall foliage season, but the temple grounds had a nice atmosphere and a real sense of history.
After getting tired from walking, I relaxed and soothed my fatigue in the hot springs.

Shuzenji Onsen

One of the Izu Peninsula's leading hot spring resorts, located in Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Traditional inns and restaurants line the Katsura River, and the area has long been popular as a hot spring retreat. At the heart of the hot spring district is Tokko-no-Yu, said to have been established by Kobo Daishi Kukai and known as the symbol of Shuzenji Onsen. The area is also home to historic Shuzenji Temple, believed to have been founded in 807, and Chikurin no Komichi, a bamboo-lined walking path, offering peaceful surroundings for a leisurely stroll.

Shuzenji Onsen is said to have been founded by Kobo Daishi Kukai. After leaving my luggage at the inn, I explored the hot spring town during the day. The scenery along the Katsura River and around the town had a very nice atmosphere. You can't bathe in Tokko-no-Yu, the symbol of Shuzenji Onsen, but you can view it. Shuzenji Temple is also nearby, and I was able to stroll around while enjoying the history and nature. The hot spring water is very warm and helps relieve fatigue.

I walked along the 350-meter-long Flower Road promenade. It's famous for its lavender in early summer, but with such a wide variety of flowers planted, it's enjoyable in any season.
I recommend the second floor of the Kawaguchiko Natural Living Center, where you can get a panoramic view of Mount Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi.
