Shozenkan: A private hot spring fairy tale at the foot of Mount Fuji, where tradition and beauty blend.

Stepping into this long-established Japanese hot spring hotel, it is not surprising at first sight, but there is a delicate courtyard inside, with small bridges and flowing water, and corridor rockeries, forming a quiet picture. Especially after the heavy snow in Tokyo in 2024, the snow covered the Shozenkan, as if stepping into a winter fairy tale world, I can't help but imagine, the cherry blossoms in spring are in full bloom, and how beautiful it will be. The hotel is not small, but there are only a few rooms with private hot springs on the terrace. We are fortunate to stay in room 324. The best location not only brings extra costs, but also the priceless experience of Mount Fuji in front of you when you soak in the private hot spring. The room rate includes two meals in the morning and evening, the buffet breakfast is rich in variety, and the Japanese style is biased. Dinner is a Japanese set meal, which is enjoyed in different restaurants according to the room type. The tea room in the afternoon provides free green tea and tea, and the all-day free drinks and snacks in the lounge, sitting by the window, the scenery is beautiful. Every night at 8 o'clock, a Japanese drum performance and lottery event will be staged in the lobby. We are lucky to win the second prize. The prize is a bottle of grape juice, which adds a surprise to the journey. Although I read some negative reviews before the trip, the actual experience far exceeded expectations. Shozenkan is not only a place to stay, but also a deep conversation with Japanese tradition and natural beauty.
