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.
Benesse House, situated on Naoshima Island in the Setouchi Inland Sea, seamlessly blurs the lines between hotel and art gallery.
