Mt. Fuji Good Fortune Stay: Welcoming the New Year at HOSHINOYA Fuji

Mt. Fuji
A New Year Retreat Framed by Japan’s Most Iconic Mountain

HOSHINOYA Fuji invites travellers to begin 2026 with clarity, calm and renewed purpose through its Mt. Fuji Good Fortune Stay, running from December 1, 2025 to February 28, 2026. Set within Japan’s premier luxury glamping resort on the slopes above Lake Kawaguchi, this seasonal program blends tradition, nature and quiet reflection. It offers a mindful escape designed to align the spirit with the majestic presence of Mt. Fuji, making it a truly meaningful way to welcome the new year.

Sunrise Canoe on Lake Kawaguchi

One of the highlights of the program is the peaceful Sunrise Canoe experience. As early light breaks across the lake, participants glide over calm waters while witnessing Mt. Fuji illuminated by soft morning hues. This serene encounter with nature encourages contemplation and brings a sense of renewal, making it a memorable start to each day of the stay.

A Fireside Reflection Experience

New for this year, guests can take part in a fireside reflection event that complements the quiet atmosphere of the resort’s forest setting. With the crackling fire offering warmth and focus, participants are invited to pause and consider their hopes and intentions for the year ahead. This restorative ritual adds depth to the stay, allowing travellers to reconnect with themselves away from the demands of daily life.

Pilgrimage to Fuji Omuro Sengen Shrine

The program also includes a meaningful visit to Fuji Omuro Sengen Shrine, the oldest shrine dedicated to Mt. Fuji. This sacred pilgrimage offers an opportunity to give thanks, seek protection, and embrace centuries-old tradition. Nestled at the foot of the mountain, the shrine provides a direct link to the spiritual heritage surrounding Japan’s most revered peak.

A Good Fortune Breakfast with Local, Auspicious Ingredients

Returning to their cabin after the pilgrimage, guests enjoy a special good fortune breakfast made from locally sourced ingredients associated with luck and positive beginnings. Served in each private lake-view cabin, this nourishing meal highlights the region’s flavours while symbolising prosperity and wellbeing for the year ahead.
