About this stay

The hot spring bath and sauna are the reason to stop here, a genuine soak rather than a private tub tucked into a standard room. Reception runs in Japanese, so it suits travellers who have at least basic phrases ready or come with a Japanese-speaking companion. Free on-site parking takes the place of a station transfer, useful since Lake Yamanaka itself is about 6 kilometres away, a short drive rather than a walk. Breakfast is Asian-style, a practical start before a day out at Fuji-Q Highland, roughly 18 kilometres away, or Lake Kawaguchi at about 21. Oshinohakkai is around 12 kilometres and the Mount Kachi Kachi Ropeway about 20, both realistic day-trip distances with a car, while Mount Fuji itself sits roughly 33 kilometres out.

Our take

Sports Inn Miharashi is built around its shared baths: a hot spring bath and a sauna, rather than private in-room tubs. It is about 6 km from Lake Yamanaka, with free private parking and an Asian breakfast, so a car makes the stay easy. Reception works in Japanese, which suits travellers comfortable without English. Anyone wanting a lakeside room or English-speaking staff should look closer to the shore of Lake Yamanaka.

  • Have a translation app ready or basic Japanese phrases, since reception is staffed in Japanese.
  • Drive to Lake Yamanaka rather than plan on walking, it is about 6 kilometres from the hotel.
  • Soak in the hot spring bath after a day at Fuji-Q Highland or the Kachi Kachi Ropeway, both realistic drives away.

Why we love it

  • A genuine hot spring bath on site
  • A sauna alongside the hot spring
  • Asian-style breakfast included
  • About 6 kilometres from Lake Yamanaka
Why guests love it

Sports Inn Miharashi is a three-star inn about 6 km from Lake Yamanaka, and I would suggest it to a family that wants a hot spring soak after a day around the lake. It has a hot spring bath and a sauna, breakfast is Asian-style, and private parking is free, which suits a family arriving by car. Reception staff speak Japanese, so a translation app helps. It scores 8.9 from 11 reviews.
