Overview
Highland Resort Hotel & Spa is the official hotel connected to Fuji-Q Highland, making it one of the easiest choices for a Fujiyoshida trip built around the amusement park. Opened in 1986 at the foot of Mount Fuji, the hotel is close to Fuji-Q Highland, Fujiyama Onsen, Fujiyama Museum, rail access, and highway-bus stops.
The appeal is straightforward: staying here simplifies the day. Guests can use benefits such as early entry to Fuji-Q Highland, luggage storage, and free parking during the stay, including before check-in and through checkout day.
Rooms
Rooms range from Grand Executive Floor accommodations to Standard Rooms, Casual Rooms, and several themed options. Notable choices include Thomas Rooms, a NARUTO Room, a Lisa and Gaspard Room, and a Fujikyu Railway Room, along with standard layouts that look toward Mount Fuji or the amusement park.
That mix makes the hotel especially strong for families and theme-park-focused stays. Travelers looking for a quieter lakefront inn may prefer to compare options around Kawaguchiko, but guests who want Fuji-Q Highland close at hand will benefit from staying on this side of the Fuji Five Lakes area.
Facilities
The hotel is closely linked with Fuji-Q Group facilities in the surrounding complex, including Fuji-Q Highland, Fujiyama Onsen, and Fujiyama Museum. Guest benefits include 15-minute early park entry, luggage storage, and free parking.
The parking policy is particularly helpful for drivers, since staying guests can park for free before check-in and all day on checkout day as well as during the overnight stay. That works well for visitors planning a full park day before or after their hotel night.
Dining
Dining options include MACARONI CLUB for Italian dishes and bakery items, Kokorogi for Japanese cuisine, FUJIYAMA TERRACE for fourth-floor buffet dining, and Shanghai Saikan for Chinese private dining.
Takeout is also available, which can be convenient for families or guests working around park hours. For a broader dining scene, compare the hotel complex with Kawaguchiko or central Fujiyoshida, since the immediate area is closely shaped around Fuji-Q Highland.
Location and transport
The hotel is in the Fuji-Q Highland Area of Fujiyoshida. Fuji-Q Highland Station is the nearest rail stop for the amusement park, with the park entrance immediately outside the ticket gate.
Highway-bus access is a major advantage. The bus terminal is in the parking lot in front of the hotel, making arrivals, check-in, one-day pass pickup, and luggage storage easier to manage. Direct or linked bus routes serve Tokyo-area terminals, Haneda Airport, Shizuoka, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, and other regions.
Airport access
From Haneda Airport, the clearest direct option is the highway bus, with an approximate travel time of 2 hours 15 minutes. Other airport routes may require rail or bus transfers through Tokyo or the Fuji Five Lakes area.
For international arrivals with luggage, it is worth comparing the Haneda highway bus with rail via Otsuki and the Fujikyuko Line. The bus can be simpler when the schedule works, while rail may fit better with plans on the Tokyo side.
Why stay here
Choose Highland Resort Hotel & Spa if Fuji-Q Highland is central to the trip and you want the park logistics to be as easy as possible. It is especially well suited to families, themed-room stays, highway-bus travelers, and guests who want Mount Fuji or amusement-park views without commuting between the park and a separate town each day.
Good to know
This is a park-adjacent resort hotel, not a quiet lakeside ryokan. It works best when early park access, luggage storage, parking, bus arrivals, and short trips around Fuji-Q Highland matter more than direct Lake Kawaguchi scenery.
