Fujiya Hotel Garden

While the buildings of this hotel might be tired and in need of a serious makeover, the attractive garden is very well maintained. There are several greenhouses where the gardeners propagate plants for the garden and to sell to hotel visitors. Some of the greenhouses are heated by hot water from the thermal springs.

There was a reasonable collection of bonsai trees and many trees in glorious autumn colours. There is a shrine, an outdoor swimming pool and the inevitable pond full of orange and black koi fish.

If you walk through the back of the garden there is a path leading to a viewing point where Mt Fuji can be seen. It is a 40 minute uphill walk so I am not sure I will need to do that.
