2026 Fuefuki Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

#Tokyo Value for Money Hotel If you want to find an affordable hot spring hotel around Tokyo, you must try this cost-effective hotel - Fuji Sakura Hot Spring Hotel. The hot spring and foot bath services in this hotel are free! You can enjoy the hot spring and relax your body and mind after returning at night. There is also a laundry room in the hot spring area, and the sound insulation effect is also very good. The facilities of this hotel are also relatively complete, and there is a coffee machine and some toiletries in the lobby. The restaurant in the morning provides soy sauce soup noodle lights, which tastes pretty good. We stayed in an ordinary room. The small partition door in the room separated the toilet and the room, so there was no noise disturbance when sleeping at night. The room size is OK, clean and hygienic, with glass windows to bring natural light into the room. It feels like living in a Japanese friend's home, and there is a home atmosphere. The hotel is conveniently located, about half an hour's drive from Mount Fuji, and there are many places to eat around, so you don't have to worry about finding food and drinks. After dinner, take a hot spring bath and go to bed to experience a day of Japanese life.

Dinner at Isawa Tokiwa Tokiwa Hotel. There was a substantial menu with many small dishes and steak rice bowls. This photo shows one portion. It also came with some oinari for a midnight snack. It was a meal that satisfied both the stomach and the soul. *Information current as of December 2022. #tripmemory2022

I wanted to go somewhere a little further from Tokyo, so I went to Spa Land Hotel Naito by myself. This is what they call a spa, with hot springs, a rock sauna, accommodation, massages, and restaurants all in one building. It's not a new facility, but it's well-cleaned and you can relax to your heart's content. The hotel's indoor clothing is a little flashy. lol There are about four restaurants, and it seems there are more employees than customers. They responded quickly and gave me a complimentary Mizu tataki. I received an aroma massage, which was also very polite and taught me a lot about the body. It's a place I love that makes me feel warm. I'll visit again. #2021c #StayingAtHome

Ryokan Kagetsu is famous for its famous stones, but the well-maintained gardens and flowers are also very beautiful. There are many paths to walk on, and last month the hydrangeas were in full bloom. On a nice day, it's good to take a stroll in the yukata robes of the ryokan. It's easy to see why it's so popular with foreign tourists. #famousflowers #Yamanashi #hotsprings #Kofu #hydrangeas #supporttourism

The reason we chose this inn was because it had good reviews, and because we could eat dinner in our rooms. In these times, it's safer to stay in your room, and it's nice to have a sense of privacy. Because we're in Yamanashi Prefecture, we also had Koshu beef steaks. It's also exciting to see it grilled right in front of you on a hot plate. We had a great time chatting while looking out at the garden from our room. #Yamanashi #Hotsprings #Inn #GourmetTrip #SupportTourism#GourmetTrip

The best part of staying at a ryokan is the food. The breakfast was very extravagant. There were so many side dishes with the rice that I had to have seconds many times. You can have as much rice and miso soup as you want. And you can relax in a private room while looking at the beautiful garden. It was a happy way to spend the morning. #supporttourism #Yamanashi #ryokan #breakfast #Kofu #supporttourism

At the Kagetsu Inn. I had some time before dinner, so I took a stroll. The grounds are so spacious that I wondered if inns are really this big. There are inscribed stones collected from all over the country scattered throughout, making every photo a picturesque scene. #InscribedStones #Stones #HotSprings #Yamanashi #SupportTourism

I stayed at Kagetsu, a famous inn in Yamanashi. I was picked up at Isawa Onsen and arrived at the inn. I was greeted by the proprietress dressed in kimono and shown to my room. First of all, the entrance was very spacious and stately. As it was a weekday, the inn was almost completely booked. #Isawa Onsen #Onsen #Yamanashi #Inn #Supporting Tourism

Choosing souvenirs is always a struggle. Yamanashi Prefecture has the advantage of Mt. Fuji, hot springs, and fruit, so there is a wide variety of souvenirs, and it was fun just looking at them. Quartz is also famous, so men can enjoy it too. I got the impression that there were a lot of shops selling quartz, especially around Isawa Onsen Station. #souvenirs #Yamanashi #supporting tourism #supporting tourism

There's even a foot bath in front of Isawa Onsen Station. I'm so happy that there's one right in front of the station. Locals use it. If you carry a small towel with you, you can quickly dip your foot in the foot bath in the city, so I recommend it. With the lush mountains right in front of you, the view is pretty good. #supporttourism #hotsprings #IsawaOnsen #hotsprings

Step into Fuefuki’s magical evenings under the twinkling lights of Isawa Bridge 🌉✨—this charming spot transforms after sundown, perfect for couples and night owls craving scenic strolls or memorable selfies beneath its glowing outdoor decorations. Start your night adventure with a gentle walk across Isawa Bridge, letting the illuminated displays guide your way. Capture an insta-worthy moment: the best angle is right in the middle of the bridge, where you’ll frame the radiant arches with Fuefuki’s quiet residential backdrop—especially atmospheric if you visit as a couple! If you’re into night photography, try different settings to make the soft lights pop against the tranquil town setting. Don’t miss the chance to simply relax on a nearby bench, soaking up the peaceful vibe and creative lighting touches unique to this part of Yamanashi. If you want a more local feel, time your visit for quieter weekday evenings when the bridge is less crowded and the decorative lights truly shine. For a fun date idea, bring a thermos of tea—there aren’t many shops open late nearby, so plan ahead with snacks or drinks. Entrance is free and open day and night, but the lighting decorations really come to life after sunset (ideally after 7:00 PM). Precaution: mind your step, as some sections can get slippery if there’s evening dew or rain. Parking is limited, so arrive early or use public transit for convenience. #Fuefuki #IsawaBridge #NightWalk #JapanTravel #OutdoorActivities

We took our 2-year-old and 0-year-old to Isawa Onsen "Itoyanagi." To be honest, I was a little worried about taking a hot spring trip with a baby (it was our 0-year-old's first hot spring experience)...but in the end, I'm so glad we went. The staff were very kind and immediately noticed we had a lot of luggage and came to our aid, giving us a sense of security. Also, when we got to our room, a futon was already set out for us, and they kindly provided a diaper bin and baby bath when we asked. They also provided a high chair for us to use when we had meals, which gave me the feeling that this was an inn that was accustomed to accommodating children. The room had a calming atmosphere, and we were grateful that we could enjoy our time with our child without worrying about others. Our 2-year-old was delighted with the spaciousness, and our 0-year-old slept even more soundly than usual. Of course, the hot springs and food were also excellent!!! This time we stayed in a room with an open-air bath, but we were also able to enjoy a private bath and medicinal stone bath. The dinner kaiseki course meals were all delicious, and the breakfast, billed as an "Amazing Breakfast," was incredibly varied and satisfying. Forget about your hectic daily life for a moment, This is an inn where you'll truly feel "great for staying with your family." Even with small children, I can confidently recommend this place. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment. 📝 #IsawaOnsen #Itoyanagi #TripWithKids #FamilyTrip #HotSpringDebut #BabyFriendly #YamanashiTrip

Isawa Onsen is about an hour and a half away from Shinjuku Station on the Kaiji Express. The area around the station is home to many wineries typical of Yamanashi, making it a recommended hot spring for alcohol lovers, as it's within walking distance. *Mikutei no Yado Hotel Koshien* This lovely inn features a large pond in the courtyard. There are private baths available for a fee, and three types of stone spa and hot stone baths are available for reservation after check-in. While there are set times, multiple reservations are possible. We made several reservations, making our stay quite hectic (?). I recommend the Togen Spa. Placing warm stones on your body warms you to the core. After working up a sweat in the stone spa, we had a delicious dinner and a good night's sleep. Waking up to an early morning sauna and enjoying breakfast was a very healthy experience, and I was very satisfied. If you plan on enjoying the hot stone baths and saunas, I recommend allowing yourself plenty of time. Location: 977-7 Ichibe, Isawa-cho, Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture 　　　17-minute walk from Isawa Onsen Station Price: Approximately ¥80,000 for one night, two meals, and a room with an open-air bath for two people *Winery 1: Monde Sake Brewery* A winery where you'll be greeted by large wine barrels. There are many free tastings, but you can also sample rare aged wines for a fee. I loved this winery so much that I went back two days in a row and ended up buying some souvenirs. They left some grape vines for guests to take, and the ones I managed to bring home are now thriving at home!! Location: 476 Ichibe, Isawa-cho, Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture About a 10-minute walk from Isawa Onsen Station Hours: 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM *Winery 2: Mars Wine* There's also a factory here, and many groups visit. This winery also offers several free tastings. It's close to the station, so it was quite crowded. We were among many others walking from Mars Wine to Monde Brewery.

Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture, is one of Japan's leading peach-producing regions. While it's difficult to access, requiring a car or taxi, this farm boasts a large number of regulars thanks to its high-quality peaches. While gift peaches are available online, outlet peaches are not available online, so this cafe is highly recommended for those visiting Yamanashi in the summer. The peaches are incredibly sweet, grown with minimal pesticides and a focus on safety. The varieties change depending on the time of year, allowing you to sample different varieties. These peaches are also delicious as gifts, so I highly recommend them! Bon Ichinomiya #Peaches #FarmCafe #Yamanashi 502 Sueki, Ichinomiya-cho, Fuefuki-shi, Yamanashi Prefecture

I went peach picking in Yamanashi! Yamanashi Prefecture is popular for many different fruits, but since it's summer, I went for peaches! It's about a 15-minute drive from downtown Kofu. If you tell the lady at the entrance that you want to pick peaches, you can choose between peach picking or all-you-can-eat. Since I went after lunch, she said it would be a waste to just eat as much as you want, so I picked some peaches to take home. About a 10-minute walk from the reception, there's a place where there are lots of peaches. After receiving a simple explanation of how to pick peaches, I started picking. The peaches I picked myself tasted better than the ones I usually buy at supermarkets. It seems that you can also pick Shine Muscat grapes in the fall, so I recommend it to people who like fruit! #absolutelyfreetrip #peaches #peachpicking

♨️A relaxing hot spring trip in the fruit village. A holiday to rejuvenate your mind and body at Isawa Onsenkyo🍇 Isawa Onsenkyo, located in Fuefuki City, Yamanashi Prefecture, is a town of fruit and hot springs♨️, which began as hot springs that gushed forth from within vineyards. With an abundant supply of hot spring water and alkaline simple springs that have skin-beautifying effects, you can enjoy a variety of ways to enjoy it, from day trips to luxury inns✨ There are also many wineries and orchards in the surrounding area, so it's great to be able to enjoy hot springs and gourmet food together🍷 I visited alone, but spending time relaxing in the quiet open-air baths was the ultimate relaxation. It's also perfect for a relaxing date with your partner, visiting the onsen 💑 🚗Access: ・Get off at JR Chuo Main Line "Isawa Onsen Station" (about 100 minutes by express from Shinjuku) ・About 10 minutes by car from "Ichinomiya Misaka IC" on the Chuo Expressway ・Express buses also run from Shinjuku (about 110 minutes) Domestic travel #couples travel #solo travel #absolutely free travel #Isawa Onsenkyo #Yamanashi Onsen #beautiful skin hot springs #fruit village #healing trip #hot spring tour

Hotel Hana Isawa, located within walking distance from Isawa Onsen Station, is a great choice for families with small children.♨️ On the first floor, you'll find the front desk, a shop, a passage leading to the hot springs, and a kids' play area filled with toys🧸✨. On the basement level, there's a small retro-style game center that brings back nostalgic memories👾. While the hotel itself shows signs of age, the rooms have a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere, making it a relaxing place to stay🇯🇵. This time, we stayed in a room that featured both Japanese-style and Western-style accommodations! The hot springs include family baths and large communal baths, with perfect water temperature. There's even an outdoor bath!!✨ Dinner was served in a semi-private room, allowing us to enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace✨. You can also savor Yamanashi Prefecture's local wine, which comes highly recommended🍷. Breakfast is served buffet-style🍽️.

#Tokyo樱花 Just arrived, although the flowers are in full bloom, the ground is covered with cherry blossoms. Sakura Fubuki really has a different feeling. Sitting in front of the cherry tree and watching the cherry blossoms 🌸 I saw a huge old cherry tree, which contrasted beautifully with another weeping cherry tree next to it.
