We love this place so much. The staff and the owner Kobayashi-san is very welcoming and friendly. The view of Mt. Fuji is amazing and we love the hotel's public bath and the roof deck. You can borrow yukata to enjoy the bath. They have a restaurant but only have minimum menu, if you prefer to have food option late at night better bring your own, as there is store nearby that are open late. 100% recommend.

This was the BEST! Jeffrey as our tour guide and teacher was amazing! I booked the bus, basic ski lesson and Oishi park. I have 4 kids and this was definitely best decision I made. He assisted with everything and made the trip super fun! From organising all the equipment, offering suggestions, pick ups, food recommendations, even taking photos! The lesson was so good, he was so patient. Our driver was also so nice and helpful. The bus was so spacious, and we got to see Mt Fuji in various areas. This was a Highlight and I highly recommend this. I will definitely come back and book the same. I’m really grateful for Jeffrey! He was so lovely and helpful.

The tour guide was amazing, switching between Chinese and English incredibly fast. The explanations were detailed, and they answered every question. I really loved it!!! Thank you to our guide, Juna, for accompanying us. They even played rock-paper-scissors with everyone on the bus, and I was lucky enough to win against the guide and get a small, special prize, which left a fantastic impression on my child!

Narusawa Ice Cave

Check out the Narusawa Ice Cave, a cool spot hidden in the Aokigahara Forest. This ice cave was created by an eruption from Mt. Nagao and stays at a chilly zero degrees Celsius even in the summer.

Fugaku Wind Cave

Visit the Fugaku Wind Cave, a lava cave in the lush Aokigahara Forest, Japan. The cave is famous for its ice pillars that stay frozen during the summer.
