Nestled in a forested mountainside with mesmerising views over Kawaguchi Lake to Mount Fuji, Hoshinoya Fuji offers a luxurious glamping experience, blending immersive nature activities with minimalist modern Japanese design. Far removed from the usual camping experience, the 40 concrete cabins boast sliding glass doors that frame the views of Mount Fuji, while a small balcony with a campfire adds cosy camping vibes and offers a scenic spot to enjoy the freshly baked bread, organic sausages and seasonal fruit served for breakfast in a handcrafted wood box.
The concrete pods are connected by walkways and platforms in the forest to the al fresco dining areas, a campfire spot, cosy library, and deck. Dining is inspired by the camping concept, but takes this to new levels with grilled seasonal ingredients, sukiyaki hotpot, shabu-shabu hotpot or curry served glamping-style on your balcony. This is a place to become immersed in nature, with sunrise canoeing, morning walks through the Jyukai forest and food smoking workshops, before returning to the inviting comfort of your camping cabin for a warming drink on the balcony.
With its perfectly manicured Japanese gardens and views over the Sea of Japan to Miyajima Island, The Sekitei offers a peaceful, meditative stay in serene surroundings but is just 15 minutes from Miyajimaguchi Station.
This award-winning property balances Japanese minimalism and quiet luxury with invitingly sumptuous fabrics and furnishings to create a serenely elegant escape.
With the Kamogawa River as a neighbour and the Higashiyama mountains in the background, the Ritz Carlton Kyoto enjoys a location that’s as scenic as it is convenient.
The Hyatt Regency Kyoto’s location makes it a perfect setting for exploring the nearby Gion district, while the city’s temples and museums are within walking distance.
