グランピングヴィレッジ富士河口湖
8,4/10 Excellent - Based on 27 reviews
Glamping Village Fuji Kawaguchiko sits in the forests above the Kawaguchiko area of Yamanashi, occupying a highland site designed to balance comfort and the outdoors. The resort comprises about thirty individual villas and dome tents arranged to preserve privacy and to frame views of the mountains and star-filled skies; rooms open to timber decks and landscaped gardens, and the layout favors small groups and families who want space and quiet close to nature. The setting is easily reached by road from the Tokyo region and places you within convenient distance of the Fuji Five Lakes attractions.
Accommodation types range from two‑bedroom villas with living areas and cooking/dining space to insulated dome tents, and every unit is equipped with its own sodium‑rich natural hot spring bath so guests can enjoy a private soaking experience. Several villa types include an in‑room sauna with a water‑cooling plunge and dedicated outdoor dining decks for barbecues; pet‑friendly units provide a private dog run. For travelers searching for a ryokan with onsen in Fuji Kawaguchiko, the property presents a hybrid approach—glamping accommodation combined with ryokan‑style in‑room bathing and optional in‑room service.
Onsite conveniences address practical needs: complimentary parking, guest Wi‑Fi, continental or Asian breakfast options, and the chance to book local activities such as kayaking, wakasagi fishing, guided forest walks and short lake cruises. A communal nature bar highlights regional wines while staff can arrange transfers and activity bookings to nearby sights. Suitable for couples, families and small groups seeking nature plus spa privacy, this destination functions effectively as a ryokan with private onsen Yamanashi, offering a self‑contained, nature‑forward stay with easy access to the Mount Fuji area.

Spacious, well‑equipped accommodation
Rooms and separate dining/kitchen areas were described as generous and practical, often featuring a fridge, utensils, cutlery and gas BBQ; some units include private baths/onsen and separate toilets.
Clean, modern and stylish design
Visitors repeatedly noted that the domes and facilities are new, clean, modern and attractively designed, with features like fireplaces and saunas contributing to the atmosphere.
Family‑ and pet‑friendly with convenient facilities
Reviewers said the site is great for families and groups — grounds for kids to play, easy direct outdoor access (helpful for pets), and parking spaces close to each unit made stays comfortable and convenient.

Guests appreciated the free drinks/nature bar (afternoon/evening service) and described staff as polite and helpful, using translation tools when needed to ensure a smooth check‑in.
Negative Reviews
Unpleasant smells in some units
Several guests reported strong odours in bedrooms or domes (plastic or petroleum/kerosene‑like smells) that affected comfort for some visitors.
Insufficient heating in cold weather
A number of reviews mentioned that rooms felt very cold despite heaters being used; guests suggested additional heating options (heated blankets or stronger space heaters) would improve comfort.
Barbecue/grill issues and smoke
Some visitors experienced problems lighting the grill or noted there was no hot plate for indoor cooking; one party reported heavy smoke when barbecuing even with doors open.
Limited or unreliable drink service and small operational errors
Complaints included free‑drink service ending earlier than expected, beverages running out, and an instance of an incorrect phone number displayed at the drink area that caused an accidental call — leaving a slightly negative aftertaste for that stay.
Privacy, insects and minor comfort issues outdoors
A few guests raised privacy concerns for outdoor/naked bathing (visible from adjacent units), noted flies or insects in a mountain setting, and found some deck chairs uncomfortable — small but notable annoyances for some visitors.
