Fuji Onsen Yamanishi

Fuji City, in Shizuoka Prefecture at the foot of iconic Mount Fuji, sits between the UNESCO-listed sacred mountain and the Pacific coast of Suruga Bay, offering some of Japan's most dramatic natural scenery from its waterfronts on clear winter days when Fuji's snow-capped cone dominates the entire horizon. Fuji Onsen Yamanishi draws on sodium and bicarbonate thermal waters from the volcanic geological formations of the Fuji volcanic zone, providing restorative baths in a city whose paper manufacturing heritage stretches back four centuries and whose coastal views of Fuji across Suruga Bay are celebrated in classical Japanese art. The Shiraito Falls at the base of Mount Fuji, the city's waterfront promenade, and the fresh sakura shrimp of Suruga Bay — unique to these deep Pacific waters — make this an exceptionally scenic and culturally rich destination for thermal bathing.
