If you can, book Villa Fuji Bon Voyage Sora, Fujikawaguchiko right now! It has the most amazing view of Mt Fuji from the window! Three bedrooms! The owner can also provide a high chair and a baby gate if needed. 10 mins walk from Kawaguchiko Station.
This is quite a luxurious place to stay but you won’t regret it.
Bessho Sasa Ryokan is outstanding. Children of all ages are welcome. Rooms are a mixture of Western and Tatami mat styles. Many of the rooms also have private onsen baths on the balcony with a view of Mt Fuji. Lush ! There are also public onsens for all guests to use (even if you don’t have a private onsen in your room.) The ryokan provides pjs for staying guests and yukata style robes to wear to and from the public bath. There are often drum or other traditional shows for guests in the evenings. There is also an open bar for guests in the lounge from 9pm-11pm. Dinner is kaiseiki-style. It’s amazing.
Cherry blossoms bloom around the gardens on the property in the right season and it is also stunning during Autumn.
Bessho Sasa is located in Fujiyoshida. It is a little awkward to get to without a car so once you arrive at Fujisan Station or Kawaguchiko Station, call the hotel and a shuttle will come and collect you.
