Kozantei Ubuya
If you're seeking an accommodation spot where all rooms offer a view of Mount Fuji, look no further than Kozantei Ubuya.

Konansou
Located right on the shore of Lake Kawaguchi, Konansou gives you spectacular views of either Mount Fuji or the lake depending on the side of the building that your room is on. The ryokan has both public onsen and reservable private onsen, but some rooms are decked out with your very own personal balcony onsen like you can see in the photo below. There is also a foot bath on the roof of the premises that can be accessed by all patrons if you don't feel like completely submerging.

It's only around 10 minutes on foot from the hotel.
