Fuji View Hotel's hot spring is called "Shurei no Yu," and is one of five hot springs of the Kawaguchiko Onsenkyo. The décor of the baths differs, with the men's bath designed like a classic folk house bearing a sense of strength and profundity, while the women's bath is reminiscent of the warm delicacy of a Kyoto townhouse.
Guests with tattoos may use the baths but must use free tattoo covering stickers.

The beautiful main dining room serves full-course meals of French cuisine and a la carte dishes made with plenty of local ingredients, as well as fresh seasonal kaiseki (home-style Japanese) meals.
