The SENSE FUJI

“Beautiful secluded resort.”

The western breakfast was excellent, even though it came with a salad and soup that we never would eat for breakfast back in the US, and the soup itself was delicious. It was really nice to have someone come and prepare the food in our room, which we enjoyed. Every room had a hot tub and a sauna, but there was a large communal hot tub that cost 10000 yen for an hour; we were one of only two guests on the property, traveling together, and for what we were paying per night I think that communal hot tub and sauna should have been included. The staff were extremely accommodating, even doing laundry for us, and the resort had all the vibes of an eco‑friendly property. The downside was that the bed was as hard as a rock, so I woke up with back pain both mornings. The location is remote, so you either eat on site or pay 5000 yen for a cab into town, which is very quiet at night; a complimentary shuttle would be nice. Also, any trip up the mountain costs over $100 one way, while the bus from town is cheaper but requires you to get into town first.

“Memorable family vacation”

The staff were incredibly hospitable and the property itself was great, but it was hard not to like the place.

“An exceptional experience that felt like stepping into another world!”

Wow, that’s all I can say about Sense Fuji. From the moment we arrived it felt like stepping into another world. The team were incredibly attentive and seemed to anticipate your needs before you even asked; on one occasion we just sat in the reception and a pot of tea appeared without us requesting it. Nothing was too much trouble, and throughout our stay we felt completely looked after. The villa experience was outstanding: meals were cooked on the terrace and served in the privacy of our room, making every meal feel special and personal. The level of service was among the best we’ve experienced anywhere. Though we didn’t get to see Mount Fuji because of the mist, it didn’t detract from our enjoyment. We left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and grateful for a break from the pace of sightseeing; it was the perfect place to slow down and unwind. The private spa was another highlight; an hour in the spa bath and sauna seemed to pass in five minutes. The facilities were excellent, and on a clear day the large windows offered wonderful views toward Mount Fuji. If I could score this property 11 out of 10, I would. The only constructive comment is that the private spa was more expensive than similar facilities elsewhere on our trip, but it was still a fantastic experience that we thoroughly enjoyed.

The cabins are isolated and give you that feeling of being alone. The staff are nice and helpful, and if you choose to order any of their meals (breakfast or dinner) you get full in‑room service; when we were there it was raining, so I can only assume that in good weather it is served on the balcony of the room. The room we took had a hot tub and a sauna, but it required a lot of manual work: we had to fill the hot tub ourselves (which made it feel like just taking a bath outdoors) and the sauna had to be operated by us with firewood (and was actually in a sort of special tent), so both amenities required advanced preparation.

“Excellent and a memorable stay”

We were blown away by the views, the facilities, and the thought put into many little provisions that made our stay memorable. The only tiny issue was that the shower arrangement lacks an enclosure and causes spills.
