Fuji Five Lakes: Private Onsen for 2-3 hours

Hello everyone

I'm going to Japan next year with my girlfriend. I already visited Japan twice before, but it's the first time for my beloved girlfriend.

Instead of going to Hakone again, where I already enjoyed two different onsens, I'd like to go to Fuji Five Lakes instead this time because I've never been there before.

Could anyone here recommend a few good onsens there?

Important note:
It will be a daily trip, so we won't stay overnight.
It has to be an onsen with private baths for 2-3 hours. This because my girlfriend has tattoos and we can't get access to shared baths.
Price doesn't matter. Just that it has private baths for 2-3 hours to use.

Thanks a lot for any help!! =)

Private baths for a day-time visitor might be difficult, I've seen them only available for staying guests; instead I'd recommend to look for a tattoo friendly onsen. Hakone Tenzan is well-known to allow tattoos but that is still in the Hakone area, no idea about tattoo friendly onsen in Fuji Five Lakes or the rest of Japan but there are many, many onsen areas beyond the Hakone and Fuji Five Lakes area, so I'm sure you find one :-)

Thank you Jim for your reply =)

That's unfortunate, because I was looking forward to see the Fuji-san from Fuji Five Lakes perspective. But if it's hard to find a private onsen for daytime-use we might go to Hakone again.

Yeah I know Hakone Tenzan, I already visited it once and it was very clean and friendly there. The thing is, my girlfriend is not sure if she's confident enough to go into a public bath alone. That's why I'm looking for a private onsen for daytime-use.

I'll probably choose Hakone Yuryo then, because they have some private onsens for our needs.
