Kumano Club Resort
@sharon.t
A big resort that you could choose to enjoy a room with private onsen, or go to public bath. Hotel offers wide range of activities such as little hiking that you may interested in, but these are probably guided by local elder people, it'd be better if you could speak a little bit simple Japanese.

Shizuoka Prefecture

Fugaku Gunjo
@sharon.t
Luxury one, far away from big city or train stop, this hotel does offer car transfer but only to a certain point near hotel, not easy to access if you don't drive. But thinking about you could enjoy onsen at room and facing the view of Fuji-mountain at the same time, it is definitely worth to visit once. Beware to avoid bad weather, or else you could only see cloud!
