Fuji Classic Hotel

PRESERVE Selected

A quiet retreat on the Fujigane highland, high on Mount Fuji's western skirt, where the mountain fills the window from the guest rooms and the panoramic public bath alike. Days close with a Finnish-style sauna and a löyly of aromatic steam, then a dinner built around the season's Yamanashi produce — and, this far from any city glow, a night sky that belongs to the stars. It stands a few steps from the Desmond Muirhead–designed Fuji Classic course: the rare place where the round and the rest share one address.

Where our own groups stay when they play Fuji Classic — walk off the eighteenth, soak with Fuji in full view, and never touch a car until the next morning's tee time.
