The lake's ryokan and onsen hotels line the shore, and the selling point here is the view: a room or private bath that faces Mt Fuji across the lake. On clear winter mornings the mountain is at its sharpest; in summer it often hides behind cloud by mid-morning.

Inns here range from large lakeside hotels to small family-run ryokan. If a Fuji view matters to you, check which side of the building the bath faces, because rooms facing away from the lake are usually cheaper for a reason.
