Reviews of Mt.Shakushi Gateway Camp

It had an amazing view of Mount Fuji

They had a huge tree branch blocking our view from the inside of the tent so we had to walk up to see it

Amazing place to stay, definitely worth 2 or more days if you plan activities. Staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to assist. Each unit was a dome and had ample heating and cooling to ensure a comfortable experience. Just be aware of you choose to use the braai/BBQ facility ( which they provide at a small fee) you will need to purchase ingredients before you reach the resort as they don’t offer groceries

Staff were incredible, very accommodating to our needs. We were able to leave luggage there before checkin. Our room was very spacious, slept comfortably with the 4 of us, great view of Mt Fuji. The bbq was so delicious, wide variety of meats and vegetables. We BYO drinks and wine. The onsens and toilets were clean. Such a great experience, well worth the money.

Different to get around if you want to go to the main area if you don’t have a car, however the reception are able to book taxis for you.

The room and the place

The toilets are very very dirty during the night until the morning, nobody cleans it

The service from all the staff was impeccable! The room was amazing and had the best view of Mount Fuji. The onsen and toilet facilities were great and not far from the room. The breakfast was the best…great value for money and had a good variety of food.

Everything was exceptional.

Clean and everything you need is provided.

It’s difficult to access when you don’t have a car.

The staff were excellent. All staff members were very accommodating with our limited Japanese and spoke good English! The view of Fuji was excellent from the entire campsite. The hot spring facilities were lovely, cleans and each had a great view! The domes were clean and well furnished.

The location is nice to watch mount Fuji if the weather allows so. Staff was very polite and tried their best.

Doesn't justify the cost by no means. The description in Booking is false and they actually admitted it when we started posing questions. You get to believe you have a lot of amenities, but eventually nothing comes free of charge, even though you have already payed money that corresponds to a 5 star luxury hotel. Facilities need serious maintenance and upgrade. Domes smell awfully because of the tent material. Bath tubs are dirty. Furnitures are too used and of poor taste. Showers and restrooms are also small and dirty. The description mentioned wine or champagne. The truth was that we had to pay. Private bathtub also is false. This is in the facilities but not your tent. Amd a lot of other inaccuracies. There is nothing glamorous about this place. That is not the meaning of glamping. It was nice spending time on the mountain, but the experience we had was not what was supposed to be. Doesn't worth the money spent.

The view of your Glamping is very beautiful

The bathroom and restroom quite far abit to my place

location and view on Fuji Mt form the room

Put a night mask because of the light, restrooms outside, food is good but not amazing (lot of meat, so not for veggies)

i liked the view of mount fuji

improvements needed . 1 shuttle bus to and from train station 2 food and water available at the camp site . you were not able to order hot food and i didn’t plan my trip so i had to go hungry a few nights . 3 the bath tubs were dirty water , needs to be cleaned

The location is on a mountain top, it needs driving or taxi to arrive. But it is a great escape from the hustle and bustle. Nature/camping lovers will definitely love it. The windows of each dome are all facing to one direction, to the West. Therefore, it provides a perfect sunset watching view at the room. They provide several hot baths with Mount Fuji view. Ideally do it before night time, so that Mount Fuji can be seen. The room is well-equipped, with sitting area and a coffee table.

Toilet and shower are outside the domes, you need to share them with other guests. It takes a little walk (can be uphill) to get there. A bit inconvenient for late night users.

Very nice view, clean and has everything you need

I think it is still a bit cold in the winter even we have the heaters on. We need to wear thick pajamas inside the dome.

The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. Place was clean and view was amazing!!
