Looking into Fuji Premium Resort

I've been slowly researching campsites, day-trip hot springs, and places to stay, almost like a series. This time I'm switching things up a little and looking at a resort hotel that could make a good detour for a hotel-staycation ("hokansu") trip.

This time I looked into Fuji Premium Resort. I'm an indoor type, and I'm a paper driver: I have a license but never drive. Even so, I got curious about what kind of place it was when I learned that they offer a shuttle bus.

The Short Version

It has both a hotel and cottages, plus guest rooms where you can stay with your dog and a spa facility called FOREST SPA, and there's a free shuttle bus from places like Kawaguchiko Station, so it looked like a resort you could realistically consider even without a car.
The Rakuten Mobile signal got an overall rating of “C” on the official tool, so you may want to be a little prepared when it comes to reception.

I've put the details below.

What Is This Resort in the Kawaguchiko Area with Both a Hotel and Cottages Like?

It's a resort in Fujikawaguchiko Town, Yamanashi Prefecture, and it seems to have two lodging areas: a hotel called Suporushion and a cottage-style area called Forest Village. The official site gave me the impression that it presents the place as a facility that makes use of a large outdoor site. I couldn't find the size of the grounds as an actual number.

Here's the basic info, as far as I could confirm on the official site.

Check-in / check-out: Check-in is 15:00–23:00 and check-out is 8:00–10:00, apparently. For early check-in and late check-out, it seems a guide PDF is available.
How to book: Online booking through the official site, which seems to be split into two systems, one for the hotel and one for Forest Village. There were also pages for checking, changing, and canceling reservations, and information on official-site-only perks. Apparently there's also a phone line for inquiries.
Room rates: The top page doesn't list any prices, so it looks like you check the plan list in the booking system.
Number of rooms: I couldn't find this on the official site.

If you're curious, it's probably best to check the latest plans on the official site.

Being able to choose between a hotel and cottages seems nice, since you can match it to the mood of your trip. It sounds like you have to go all the way to the booking screen to see prices, though, which feels like a bit of a hassle.

Guest Rooms for Staying with Your Dog and Plenty of Dog Runs

The first thing that caught my eye as a feature of this resort was the number of guest rooms where you can stay with your dog. Suporushion apparently has rooms called “Wan no Yado” and “Wan Suite Room.” Forest Village has “Wan Village” and “Wan Village with Private Dog Run.” I couldn't find details on room size or facilities on the official site.

Here's what I could find out about the dog-related facilities and ways to spend time with your pup.

Outdoor dog run: Reserved for overnight guests, apparently.
Indoor dog run: Seems to be usable even on rainy days, with hours listed as 9:00–17:00.
Plaza with a view of Mt. Fuji: A lawn area on the former short course, where you can apparently go for walks and play fetch.
Dog Sitting Service: Starting from 2,200 yen per dog per hour, apparently.

For meals, there also seems to be a menu for dogs. You can apparently choose between two restaurants, including a teppanyaki dining option and a luxury BBQ, but I couldn't confirm the details.

Spa Facilities and Amusement Options That Matter to an Indoor Type

For an indoor type like me, what matters is how much time you can spend inside the facility. The spa facility FOREST SPA (hot spring) is paid, and it seems there are restrictions on who can enter. According to the facility page, it's for guests staying in Forest Village, Suporushion's DX rooms, Wan no Yado, and the Wan Suite Room. Guests in the Standard Twin and Four-Bedroom rooms apparently use the bath in their own room.

The top page had a note, as of September 1, 2026, saying that guests who book through the official site get free access (except during peak season). On the other hand, preschool-age children apparently can't use it. I couldn't confirm the operating hours, the fee amount, or whether the in-room baths are hot spring water. I also didn't see any mention of a large public bath.

Inside FOREST SPA, there's apparently a spa treatment salon called KAYO Therapy & Retreatment. It seems to offer aroma oil treatments and body massage menus.

The amusement area on the B1 floor of the Wing building also seemed like a good way to spend a rainy day. The hours are 8:00–22:30 (last admission 21:30), apparently.

Billiards: 3,300 yen per hour (per table)
Darts: 2,200 yen per hour
Table tennis: 1,600 yen per hour (per table)

The sports facilities page had a heading that read “6 sports facilities to choose from.” However, I couldn't tell the specific facility names, hours, or prices from the text. Besides that, there also seem to be a convention hall (4th floor of the Wing building) and a Wing shop (in front of the front desk).

Can You Get There Without a Car? I Checked the Shuttle Bus and Access

As a paper driver, access is what matters most to me. The access page on the official site says they run a free shuttle bus to Kawaguchiko Station and Fuji-Q Highland Station. The times and frequency seem to be in a PDF called the shuttle guide, so if you're seriously considering it, it'd be reassuring to check that first.

By car, it's apparently about 90 minutes from central Tokyo via the Chuo Expressway or the Tomei Expressway. For car navigation, they apparently ask you to search for “Health Science University.” I couldn't confirm the number of parking spaces or the parking fees.

Rakuten Mobile Signal Conditions

I entered this facility's location (within Fujikawaguchiko Town) into the official “my Area Communication Simulation” tool. The overall rating came back as “C.”

I'm sharing this result as is. If you need to use your phone during your stay, it might be a good idea to prepare with a bit of extra room to spare. It also seems reassuring to check things like lodging plans, maps, and the shuttle bus timetable before you leave.

It seems conditions can change depending on the spot or inside a building, so if you're curious, please try the official Rakuten Mobile tool yourself too.

Komorin

The rating was C, but since this looks like a place where you'd spend a lot of time inside the facility, maybe it wouldn't be that big a problem if you check a bunch of things beforehand. Still, I figured it's better not to rely too much on the signal.

Wrapping Up

To sum up, my impression of Fuji Premium Resort is that it's a resort that's easy to consider even without a car, with a hotel and cottages, guest rooms where you can stay with your dog, FOREST SPA and amusement facilities, and a free shuttle bus.

Room rates, room sizes, and the operating hours of FOREST SPA were things I couldn't find out this time. If you're seriously considering a stay, I think it'd be reassuring to check the booking screen on the official site and the guide PDFs. The Rakuten Mobile signal got an overall rating of “C,” so if you need a connection, it seems best to check with the official tool and prepare ahead of time.
