Onsen Facilities & Amenities
Bathing Experience & Onsen Etiquette
Immerse yourself in Royal Hotel Kawaguchiko's therapeutic waters while gazing at Mount Fuji through panoramic windows or from open-air baths nestled among Japanese gardens. The indoor granite baths offer a sense of refined tranquility, while the open-air rock baths connect you with nature as you soak beneath the open sky—particularly magical during evening hours when stars appear above the silhouette of Mount Fuji. The onsen's alkaline waters (pH 10) are rich in sodium bicarbonate and natural minerals that gently soften and nourish your skin, leaving it noticeably smoother after just one bath. Maintained at a comfortable 40°C (104°F), these therapeutic waters are known to improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, and promote deep relaxation—the perfect remedy after hiking the region's scenic trails or exploring nearby attractions.
