Yamanakako Onsen Benifuji-no-Yu says it is operating on shortened hours from August 1 through August 31. The facility remains open daily during this period, but bath reception and dining orders close before the building’s 8:00 PM closing time.
Key Facts For Travelers
Plan Around Final Admission
Arriving shortly before 8:00 PM is too late for bathing because reception closes 45 minutes earlier. Travelers returning from Mt. Fuji, Fuji-Q Highland, or a lake circuit should include transfer and parking time before the 7:15 PM cutoff.
The official notice says there is no regular closing day during the August period. Operational changes can still occur, so check the facility’s news page again on the day of travel.
Eat Before The Bath If Arrival Is Late
The dining hall’s final order is 7:00 PM, earlier than the bath’s final admission. If both dinner and bathing are part of the plan, reach the restaurant before 7:00 PM or arrange another meal option.
The published schedule applies only through August 31. September visitors should not assume the same daily hours or no-closure arrangement continues.
Traveler Actions
- Reach reception before 7:15 PM for bathing.
- Order food before 7:00 PM if using the large dining hall.
- Add travel and parking time rather than treating 8:00 PM as the arrival deadline.
- Check the official notice again on the day of travel.
- Reconfirm the calendar for visits from September onward.
