Who would have thought that in Tachikawa, Tokyo, there is an infinity heated pool with a view of Mount Fuji? This secret spot at SORANO HOTEL, suspended on the 11th floor, transforms a regular soak into a healing ritual with warm water and breathtaking mountain scenery—walking barefoot through the indoor hot spring pool and pushing open the glass door along a narrow staircase, the mist wrapped around the silhouette of Mount Fuji greets you, making every breath feel gentle.
🌅 Mount Fuji Sunset × Heated Pool Illusion, Every Moment Is Picture-Perfect
The pool is heated to 38°C. In winter, soaking in the water while watching Mount Fuji turn golden red under the sunset, as clouds drift over the mountain peak, the water surface reflects the delicate changes in light and shadow. When the bright moon rises late at night, silver light spills over the pool, the distant mountain outlines become hazy, and the only sounds are the flowing water and your heartbeat, as if you are the sole guest in this mountain sanctuary. Remember to bring a waterproof camera—whether capturing the water’s reflection or a side shot with Mount Fuji in the frame, it feels like stepping into a poetic architecture book by Tadao Ando.
🏨 Gentle Design Details for the Detail Lovers
- The corridor leading to the pool is lined with warm floor lights, allowing you to feel the smooth texture of the stone beneath your bare feet
- The changing room is equipped with heated towels and herbal skincare products; after soaking, apply the citrus-scented body lotion, perfectly matching the mountain view
- Hidden gem: A “Meditation Chair” is tucked in a corner by the pool—order a hot matcha and sit here to enjoy the mountain scenery, maximizing the Japanese-style relaxation
On-site Tips: The best time to enjoy the Mount Fuji sunset is from 4 to 6 PM, so it’s recommended to arrive at the pool half an hour early to secure a spot; it’s only a 25-minute ride from Shinjuku to Tachikawa Station via the Chuo Line, and weekday room rates are about 30% cheaper than weekends—this hotel that lets you soak in a heated pool with Mount Fuji views is definitely the most romantic hidden experience near Tokyo!
