Uncover Shiki no Yu Fujiya's Hidden Secrets: Japan's Most Luxurious Escape
Uncover Shiki no Yu Fujiya: Seriously, Is This Real Life? (A Messy, Marvelous Review)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. I just returned from Shiki no Yu Fujiya, and honestly, my brain is still processing the sheer fanciness of it all. Forget perfectly polished travel blogs – this is the raw, unfiltered truth, sprinkled with a healthy dose of "did I just dream that?" and enough exclamation points to annoy my editor (sorry, E!).
Accessibility: A Smooth, Serene Start (But a Tiny Grumble)
Let's start with getting there. The airport transfer was smooth, a luxurious car whisking me away from the airport. The actual hotel entrance? Picture-perfect, right out of a movie. Elevators are everywhere, a godsend for my tired feet. Facilities for disabled guests are present, which is awesome, although I didn't specifically test them, it's reassuring to know they're there. My tiny grumble? The parking situation. While there's car park [free of charge] and car park [on-site], I still felt like I was doing a parkour course to find a spot. But hey, tiny price to pay for paradise, right?
Rooms: My Own Private Zen Den (With a Seriously Comfy Bed)
Alright, the rooms. Prepare to be wowed. Seriously. We're talking air conditioning that's like a gentle, silent hug, blackout curtains that laugh in the face of the sun, and a bed that basically hugs you back. And the details! Bathrobes, slippers, complimentary tea, bottled water, and a mini bar that's a tiny treasure chest. My favorite thing? The bathtub (yes, with a separate shower/bathtub) overlooking… well, wait until you hear about the view. Let's just say I spent an obscene amount of time in that tub with a glass of something bubbly. I mean, it had towels and linens that felt like a cloud hugging my skin. And the toiletries? Divine. They even had an alarm clock, although my internal alarm (aka, pure greed to stay longer) was more effective.
Internet: Stay Connected (But Maybe Disconnect Too)
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Praise be! And, you know, I actually needed it to, ahem, work (ahem). Internet access – LAN is also available, for those into wired connections. The Internet services were reliable, and I could even, gasp, upload photos of the stunning landscape. (More on that later.) Wi-Fi in public areas. Yes, it works. But honestly, I think the best part of staying here is forgetting about the internet. Just saying.
Dining: Nom, Nom, Nom (And Possibly a Food Coma)
Okay, food. Let's be honest, this is where I really lost it. Restaurants? Plural. Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, even a Vegetarian restaurant. Decisions, decisions! Breakfast [buffet] was a work of art – a symphony of flavors. The A la carte in restaurant offerings were incredible. The coffee/tea in restaurant became my best friend. And oh, the desserts! I may or may not have snuck a few extra. The Room service [24-hour]? Genius. Because, you know, sometimes you just need a midnight snack of the finest quality. The Poolside bar was perfect for cocktails and casual bites, though the happy hour was a bit… short, but I digress. Breakfast in room? Yes, please. Breakfast takeaway service? Because, again, sometimes you just need to get back to that tub. Alternative meal arrangement? They were super accommodating with my dietary needs. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Always a plus.
Things to Do/Ways to Relax: From Zen to Zzz's
Prepare yourself. This is where Shiki no Yu really shines. You want to relax? You will. Forget your worries. The Spa! The Spa/sauna! The Body scrub, the Body wrap, the Massage. I'm talking pure bliss. I spent a solid afternoon dissolving into a puddle of relaxation. And the pool with view? Seriously unreal. I mean, the view was so epic it should have had its own movie. The Sauna was a sweaty, glorious experience, and the steamroom felt like melting into a cloud. The Fitness center is there, if you're feeling ambitious, which I was… for about 30 minutes. Then the Foot bath called my name, along with a nap. The Gym/fitness options actually were pretty great, though.
And here's a little secret: one of my favorite things was just sitting on the terrace, sipping tea, and breathing in the clean, crisp air. Pure magic.
Cleanliness and Safety: Peace of Mind (Which is Priceless)
Let's get real. In today's world, safety is HUGE. And Shiki no Yu gets it. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, rooms sanitized between stays, staff trained in safety protocol, and all that jazz. I felt completely safe and secure, which allowed me to just… relax. They even had hand sanitizer everywhere. Hygiene certification? Check. Sanitized kitchen and tableware items? Check. Seriously, they thought of everything.
Services and Conveniences: They Thought of EVERYTHING
Okay, here's where the practical stuff comes in, and they ace it. Concierge? Always helpful. Daily housekeeping? My room always sparkled. Dry cleaning? Laundry? Yep. Currency exchange? Super convenient. The gift/souvenir shop was dangerous (in a good way). The luggage storage was a lifesaver. The 24 hrs front desk made me feel safe. Doctor/nurse on call? Always a plus.
For the Kids: (Even Though I Didn't Bring Any!)
While I didn't have any little ones with me, the presence of babysitting service and kids facilities is a huge plus.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because planning a trip to Shiki no Yu Fujiya Hotel… well, that's already a vibe. And I, being the perpetually flustered travel enthusiast I am, will now attempt to chronicle my potential, very human, very messy journey. Buckle up, this is gonna be a ride.
My Fujiya Fujiyama Frenzy: A (Probably) Chaotic Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & Arrival of Panic (And Ramen)
- Morning (The Great Departure): Okay, first things first, pray to the travel gods my flight doesn't get delayed. Last time I trusted a budget airline, I spent 12 hours in a purgatorial airport lounge. Cue the cold sweats just thinking about it. I'm packing everything this time including that slightly ridiculous but absolutely necessary inflatable neck pillow shaped like a walrus. Because comfort is key, people.
- Afternoon (Narita Navigating Nightmare): Landing in Narita! Assuming, of course, the plane hasn't decided to become a permanent fixture in the clouds. The arrival itself is fine, it’s the train system I’m terrified of. Last time, I got on the wrong bullet train and nearly ended up in Osaka instead of Tokyo – a minor logistical error, according to my overly optimistic travel companion. This time, I'm printing everything in giant, neon-colored font. Wish me luck.
- Late Afternoon/Early Evening (The Hakone Hustle): Alright, train success! Hopefully. Transferring from Tokyo to Hakone sounds dreamy in the brochures. In reality, it probably involves me awkwardly dragging my suitcase through crowded platforms and muttering under my breath about the "efficiency" of public transport. But the potential views of Mount Fuji? Worth it. Crossing my fingers.
- Evening (Fujiya Hotel – Finally! And Ramen, Oh Glorious Ramen!): CHECK-IN! Oh. My. Word. Hopefully, the hotel is as impossibly gorgeous as the pictures. A soak in onsen, a view of the mountains, and a perfectly crafted room? It's the dream. Before settling into my room like my second home for a couple of nights, I am setting my mind on the first thing I'm going to do: find the best ramen in Hakone. Preferably one with a long line, because I want it to be authentically delicious, and I will be waiting with patience… probably.
- Evening (Rambling Thoughts): Okay, deep breaths. I always feel this crazy, fizzy mix of excitement and sheer terror when I land in a new country. Will I understand anyone? Will the food be too weird? Will I accidentally offend someone? And most importantly, will I accidentally set my hotel room on fire? (I once managed to set off a smoke alarm while making toast. True story.)
Day 2: Art, Onsen, and Possibly a Meltdown
- Morning (Hakone Open-Air Museum – Art or Torture?): Okay, let's be real. Museums are usually my kryptonite. But the Hakone Open-Air Museum is supposed to be magical. Huge sculptures with the backdrop of the mountains? Sounds amazing! The catch? I probably won't understand a single piece of "modern art" and will spend the whole time desperately trying to look like I know what I’m talking about. The biggest threat? Overlooking a sculpture or two because I was too busy taking pictures of the surroundings which are themselves, a work of art.
- Lunch (Hopefully Not a Culinary Catastrophe): Finding a local restaurant – with English menus. This is the key to survival. Last time, I ended up accidentally eating something that looked suspiciously like a deep-fried… something. Taste-wise? Let's just say it wasn't a culinary highlight.
- Afternoon (Onsen Revelation – Or Embarrassment): The onsen. This is the moment I've been both dreading and deeply anticipating. The whole bathing thing is notoriously fraught with potential for embarrassment. Will I forget the towels? Will I somehow offend someone by doing something hideously wrong? Will I accidentally slip and fall into the hot springs in a display of sheer, clumsy ineptitude? But pictures like the ones I saw have me all amped up for the main event. Then it'll be an attempt to relax and soak in the gloriousness. I have high hopes of a "zen state."
- Evening (Fujiya – Night of the Mountain): One of the best meals of my life will be at the hotel, I'm sure. This is what I am getting myself more excited about as I keep going deeper into this itinerary. It is the perfect end to a perfect day, hopefully. Watching the sunset over the mountains, sipping a glass of sake, and reflecting on what a crazy adventure this is. It's the kind of moment I live for.
- Evening (More Rambling. Because Why Not?): I fully expect to experience some kind of emotional breakdown at some point. Travel does that to me. It's a mix of pure joy, exhaustion, culture shock, and the constant fear of looking like a complete fool. I'll probably spend hours agonizing over whether I packed the right shoes, missing the comfort of home, and secretly plotting a life of quiet solitude, possibly involving a tiny, fluffy dog. But in the end, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Day 3: Farewell Fuji (Likely With Tears)
- Morning (Last Glance): One last breakfast, one last look at the view. I'll have some minor breakdown at this point. Knowing I'm leaving this slice of heaven will probably feel like the worst thing that ever happened to me.
- Afternoon (Departing from the Dream): The train ride back to Tokyo. Trying my best to process all the beauty and chaos of the last couple of days. Buying a few last-minute souvenirs (probably something I'll never use but just couldn't leave behind).
- Evening (Tokyo Bound): One last delicious meal, probably ramen again. If I am fortunate, I'll have a slight sense of peace. But most likely, the next stop on my journey is the hotel room.
My Reality Check:
This is, of course, just the potential plan. Knowing me, the reality will be a slightly messier, funnier, and more chaotic version of this. There will be moments of pure, unadulterated bliss and moments when I want to crawl under a rock and never speak to another human being again. But that’s part of the adventure, isn't it? And if this trip is anything like my other trips, it will undoubtedly lead to some hilarious stories to tell for years to come. Wish me luck!
San San Hotel Vietnam: Your Dream Vietnamese Getaway Awaits!
Okay, So, Is Shiki no Yu Fujiya REALLY Worth the Hype? (Spoiler: Maybe, Kinda... It Depends!)
Ugh, the hype. You walk in already bracing for disappointment, right? Like, "It's gonna be *so* overpriced and overhyped, and I'll just be surrounded by influencers desperately trying to get the perfect Insta shot." And… well, some of that IS true. But… here's the thing. Shiki no Yu Fujiya? It's… complicated.
Let's just say I went in a skeptic, and I *left*… still a skeptic, but also… strangely… *content*? Maybe even… a little bit *giddy*? Gah! Don't tell anyone I said that.
So, yeah, worth it? Financially? Probably not in a rational, "budget traveler" kind of way. Emotionally? Ah, that's the trickier question. It depends on how much you value being utterly pampered and feeling like you’ve stumbled onto some secret, ridiculously luxurious film set. If that's *your* jam, then maybe. If not… save your money and just look at the pretty pictures on their website.
The Rooms: Did They REALLY Give You Enough Towels? (Because, You Know, #Luxury)
Okay, let's talk towels. Because this is important. I have a *thing* about good towels. I like fluffy towels. I like *clean* towels. And I like *lots* of towels. Especially when I'm supposed to be relaxing, not rationing my drying experience like some kind of post-apocalyptic survivalist.
And, YES. The towel situation was… sufficient. More than sufficient. It was… towel *overload*! Honestly, at one point, I think I had more towels than clothes. I might have even considered building a fort. The robes? Oh, the robes were divine. Like wearing a cloud made of silk and the tears of angels. (Okay, slight exaggeration, but still.) Seriously, the room was impeccable. The view? Breathtaking. (Okay, *that* one wasn't an exaggeration.) I think I spent a good hour just staring out the window, feeling properly spoiled.
The Food: Was It Actually *Delicious* Or Just Pretty? (Because, Instagram, am I right?)
Oh, the food. The *food*. This is where I got… well, conflicted. Because, LOOKS. Everything was plated like a work of art. Like, seriously, you almost felt guilty eating it. Almost. But… I’m not going to lie. Sometimes the presentation outshone the actual FLAVOR. There were moments of absolute culinary brilliance - the wagyu beef practically melted in my mouth. But then other dishes… well, they were… *interesting*. Let's just say I’ve had better ramen. And pricier, too, sadly.
It wasn’t BAD, mind you. It just… wasn’t *consistently* mind-blowing. There's an expectation with these places. Honestly, I'd rather have just a ridiculously delicious, unpretentious bowl of udon than some tiny, complicated dish that leaves me feeling hungry and slightly… underwhelmed. But hey, at least the pictures were pretty!
That Onsen: Naked and Afraid… But, Like, Fancy?
The onsen. Ah, the onsen. This is where things get REALLY interesting – and let's be honest, slightly awkward for the first five minutes. Standing there, buck naked, wondering if you're accidentally flashing the entire mountain, is not my comfort zone. But you get over it. You *have* to get over it. It's part of the experience!
And the experience? Glorious. Utterly, ridiculously glorious. The outdoor onsen, with the crisp mountain air and the steam swirling around you, was pure magic. I think I spent about three hours in there, rotating between the indoor and outdoor baths, just… *existing*. No phone. No emails. Just… me, some hot water, and the sound of… well, mostly silence, actually. Which, in this day and age, is its own form of luxury. It was pure, unadulterated bliss. And yes, I even braved the cold plunge. (Don’t ask me how. I’m still not sure.)
The Service: Were the Staff Secretly Robots? Or Amazingly Human?
Okay, the staff… the staff were… almost TOO perfect. Like, they anticipate your every need before you even *realize* you have a need. They open doors, they bow, they speak impeccable English, and they’re all ridiculously polite. It’s *almost* unsettling. I’m used to a little bit of… let’s call it “organized chaos.”
I swear, at one point, I thought they were following me covertly. I’d get a craving for green tea, and BAM! There it was, magically appearing on my table. It was… impressive, sure, but also… a little bit unnerving. I’m pretty sure I caught one of them *staring* at me from behind a potted bamboo plant. Okay, maybe I was just exhausted. But still. The level of service is… next level. Definitely not robot-level though. They're just REALLY good at their jobs.
Any Little Quirks or Annoyances? Spill the Tea!
Okay, alright, here's the messy stuff. The tiny annoyances that the brochures *conveniently* leave out. First: the price tag. Yeah, it’s a sticker shock. Prepare yourself. Second: the sheer amount of… quiet. It's REALLY, *REALLY* quiet. Like, library quiet. Which is amazing, until you’re the clumsy one who drops a teacup at 6 am. I swear, I thought I woke up the entire hotel. Mortifying.
And third: the sheer number of people taking photos. Everywhere. I'm not usually one to judge, but it did get a little… crowded. I could barely take a picture of the view without accidentally including some blogger’s selfie stick. Minor issues. But hey, even paradise has its potholes, right?
Would You Go Back? (Be Honest!)
Ugh, this is the million-dollar question, isn't it? Honestly? Yes. I would. Despite the price, despite the slightly underwhelming food, and despite the potential for awkward teacup-dropping moments. Because… the onsen. And the robes. And the feeling of pure, unadulterated relaxation. And the quiet. (Okay, maybe I’m starting to sound like a broken record.)
But more than that, it’s the *memory*. The feeling of being completely removed from the everyday grind. The sense of… well, okay, I’ll admit it… *luxury*. It was a splurge. A ridiculous, slightly extravagant splurge. But a splurge I think I'll beLow Price Hotel Blog
