Onsen with Fuji view 2008/8/2 00:00
I'm sure this will have been asked before but I can't find it.

I am travelling in Japan this Autumn and was wondering if anyone knows any nice, outdoor onsen with a view of Mount Fuji? I know it can be notoriously difficult to spot but I don't mind getting up at dawn before the cloud gathers for the experience. Would onsen be open this early?

Thanks for any help.

Find it out by yourself, please. Some hotels and inns offer guests 24 hour a day onsen services.

Before you take a bath in onsen and 'roten buro (open bath)', learn how to do it.

Still looking... 2008/8/2 20:09
I know how to use an onsen. I was more just asking if anyone who knows the area could tell me of any nice places to get a good view of the mountain from an onsen. This website says it is possible

but I am finding it difficult to find any more specific information on the internet hence why I'm asking here where someone might have some first hand experience.

It is good to know some inns keep onsen open all day. Thanks.

Oh wow. That place looks fantastic. Thank you so much.

Do you know if they have any mixed pools or private pools to book? I am travelling with my girlfriend and it is something we'd like to see together without being seperated into single sex pools.

Thanks again

Private or Mixed Pools 2008/8/6 11:06
Hi Dave,

BENIFUJI NO YU doesn't seem to have mixed or private pools.

TENKEI has a mixed (with swimsuit) pool. The Web site is only in Japanese.

A decent Japanese-style ryokan "Maruei" has a private pool, but the price is $170+ per person for 1-night (w/ dinner & breakfast). The Web site is again only in Japanese.
