Ooike Hotel
大池ホテル
Trades as a Fuji-view onsen ryokan, and the room baths look the part — but the property says twice that only the big bath is hot spring.
from $157 / per night · per person
8.6/10 (5,506)Destination
On the northern shore of Lake Kawaguchi, Fujikawaguchiko offers Japan's most photographed Mt. Fuji panorama. The lakeside ryokans here trade Hakone's mountain forest for unobstructed water-and-mountain symmetry — the same view Hokusai painted from a nearby ridge.

from $164 / per night · per person
9.2/10 (1,454)レイクランドホテル みづのさと
Named a hotel, built like a ryokan: every room type is tatami, dinner is a Japanese kaiseki course, and the reservable private bath is real onsen.
from $106 / per night · per person

Fourteen room types, every one built on tatami, eight with a private open-air bath — and the lake fills the window.

from $94 / per night · per person
