Vignette Collection Expands Japan Portfolio with Hotel Mount Fuji
IHG Hotels & Resorts has partnered with FUJI KYUKO Co., Ltd to convert Hotel Mount Fuji into the third Vignette Collection property in Japan.
Originally opened in 1963, the 150-room hotel is located on Mount Odeyama at an elevation of 1,100 metres, overlooking Lake Yamanaka and offering views of Mount Fuji.
The property will undergo renovation before reopening as Hotel Mount Fuji, Vignette Collection. It will join RIHGA Royal Hotel Osaka and The Windsor Hotel TOYA within the Vignette Collection portfolio in Japan.

Koichiro Horiuchi
Koichiro Horiuchi, President and Representative Director, FUJI KYUKO Co., Ltd, said the hotel has a long-standing history as a resort destination near Mount Fuji and that the renovation will help introduce the property to a broader domestic and international audience.
The hotel will include multiple dining venues, hot springs, a sauna, a swimming pool, and access to activities in the Fuji Five Lakes region, including golf, lake cruises, and visits to Oshino Hakkai.
Guests visiting during certain seasons may also experience the “sea of clouds” phenomenon, where fog covers the surrounding landscape below the hotel.
Hotel Mount Fuji, Vignette Collection, can be reached by car from Tokyo in about 2 hours. Bus access is also available from Shinjuku Expressway Bus Terminal, with a hotel shuttle service connecting guests to the property.
