About Kaneyamaen
Kaneyamaen is a traditional Japanese Ryokan having a beautiful Japanese
garden to present distinctive four seasons of Japan. A lot of seasonal flowers as
well as various seasonal festivals and events held throughout the year will welcome
you to share the beauty and delight in Japan.
Kaneyamaen is located in the
highland area on the north of Mt. Fuji where people come to enjoy cool climate in
summer and snowy landscape in winter.
Mt. Fuji is 3776-meter high, the highest
mountain in Japan. The beautiful appearance is the very symbol of Japan,
representing Japanese culture. It is open for climbing during summer season and a
lot of people come to get to the summit to watch the sacred rising sun.
Four Season
You will surely enjoy the magnificent view of Mt. Fuji, registered as World Cultural Heritage Site, from our traditional Japanese garden as extensive as 25,000 tubo (= more than 8 ha), as well as colorful seasonal scenery of Japan, such as beautiful cherry blossoms in spring, pleasant-smelling deep green summer trees, ablazing autumnal tints and winter garden covered with pure white snow.
As Kaneyamaen
is located in the highlands at the foot of Mt. Fuji, the cherry blossoms become at
their best around mid- to late-April, a little later than the city areas such as
Tokyo and Osaka.
The climbing
season for Mt. Fuji (Yoshida trail) is from the 1st of July to early September.
Please note the opening of trails may be delayed due to snow or other conditions.
The best time
to see autumnal colors in Kaneyamaen is from late-October to mid-November, during
which we light up the garden at night.
We have snow in
Kaneyamaen only several times a year, but the garden covered by a pure white blanket
of snow is really beautiful.
Hot Spring
All the baths in Kaneyamaen are natural hot springs blessed from deep below Mt. Fuji. We offer a variety of baths, such as open-air natural hot springs on the 10th roof floor where you can also enjoy the close view of Mt. Fuji and a private open air bath in some guest rooms.
Omotenashi
Omotenashi is the Japanese way of hospitality. We will welcome
you all with the true spirit of Omotenashi.
Upon check-in, please feel
free to visit our tearoom located in the garden to taste traditional
Japanese green tea "matcha" served with Japanese-style sweets. And at night,
held on the lobby stage is a dynamic sound performance of "Reiho Taiko
(Drums dedicated to Sacred mountain)" using Japanese traditional percussion
instruments Wadaiko drums.
After enjoying the show, why don't you spend
some time at our bar lounge. Tasty sake and live performances as well as the
view of beautifully lit up garden will surely entertain you.
We hold a
lot of seasonal events to let you feel pleasure and attractiveness of
Japanese festivals. To name a few, Cherry Blossom festival in spring,
Firefly Festival in early summer when the glow of fireflies create a
fantastic light show across the garden, Display of Fireworks and night
stalls in summer, Illuminated autumn leaves, New Year event in winter, and
so on.
Flower arrangements displayed everywhere in the building are also
the Japanese traditional art for Omotenashi to welcome our guests with
neatly arranged wild flowers.

Food
A stay at Japanese Ryokan basically includes two meals: dinner and
breakfast, both to be appreciated by taking enough time.
The dishes served by
Kaneyamaen are cooked using the most delicious seasonal materials ordered from
all over Japan to make perfect Japanese cuisine with bright color and taste. You
will be satisfied with the delicate skills in using knives of Japanese-style
cooks and certainly the delicious foods arranged beautifully on the plates.
Ryokan
Unique culture of staying Ryokan, Japanese-style hotel, has been
cultivated in the long history in Japan.
In order to let the guests spend
relaxing time in Ryokan, special dressing gowns are prepared differently for men
and women. Another unique culture is to require to make a reservation in advance
and check-in before 7:00 p.m. Unlike the custom to take a quick meal by room
service whenever arriving at a hotel, it well reflects the characteristics of
Japanese culture to take time for enjoying hot spring and meals. This is the
Omotenashi also linked to the essence of Japanese cuisine to appreciate each
dish slowly.
If you want to arrive late and spend little time for meals,
staying at our Ryokan is not a good idea. We recommend to find a simpler hotel
for you.
This is our pride valued through 50 years of our experiences in the
hotel business to respect the cultures of Japan. We would appreciate your
understanding.
Yamanashi
Wine Lounge
Looking out over the majestic Mt. Fuji, Yamanashi Wine Lounge is a place where you are free to enjoy internationally recognized Yamanashi wines. Yamanashi, the birthplace of Japanese wine production, has roughly 80 unique wineries producing wine with delicious flavors that are attracting the attention of importers around the world.
The Yamanashi Wine Lounge stocks 32 wines selected by the Hotel Kaneyamaen sommelier from a range of popular Yamanashi wines, and these are available for your enjoyment at any time from a wine server.

Guest's review
Let me report our visits including Mt. Fuji,
a shrine with at least 1900 years history and Mt. Fuji museum. We were impressed
with a lot of Japanese cultures.
