Fuji Hekou Lake


In the evening, I arrived at fujihekou lake. Fuji Five Lakes are located at the north foot of Fuji Mountain in Yamanashi County, including mountain lake, Hekou lake, Benqi lake, Jingjin lake and West Lake. Hekou lake is the second largest of the five Fuji Lakes (the largest is the mountain lake), with an altitude of 831 meters, a maximum water depth of 15 meters and an area of 5.7 square kilometers. Because Hekou lake is only 2 hours away from Shinjuku Station in Tokyo, the transportation is very convenient, so Hekou lake has become another mature leisure resort near Tokyo. Hekou lake town is located in the south of the lake. It is an old town. Along the South Bank of the lake, there are many leisure and vacation facilities and hotels. The North Bank of the lake is mainly a reserve. From the north bank, you can see the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji against the lake, so there are also some high-end boutique hotels on the north bank.

 


Hekou Lake fufu Hotel


Traditional hot spring hotels in Japan include one night and two meals, and most modern boutique hot spring hotels inherit this tradition. We specially chose these two styles of hot spring hotels to experience. We chose fufu Hotel on the North Bank of Hekou lake that night. Fufu hotel group took the route of boutique hotel. The famous fufu hotel is the Izu Rehai cliff designed by Kengo Kuma. Hekou Lake fufu hotel opened in 2018, positioning itself as a high-end boutique, at the same level as Hongxi Noah, not far from Hongxi Noah of Hekou lake.

 


The hotel is also a one night two food system. For the improved Huaishi cuisine, you need to make an appointment in advance for breakfast and dinner. The chef cooks on-site and eats while cooking. The Huaishi cuisine here is carefully prepared. The taste is not inferior to that of the Michelin restaurant in Tokyo. We specially ordered a bottle of local sake for dinner. The price is reasonable. The overall feeling of dining can only be expressed in the word perfect.

 


Before six o‘clock in the morning, I woke up and opened the window. I saw Mount Fuji in the distance. The rising sun shone golden and beautiful on Mount Fuji! I quickly took the SLR camera and went to the outdoor wooden platform to shoot, recording such a beautiful moment.

 


It only takes 10 minutes to walk from the hotel to the lake. Rows of cherry blossoms are planted along the inner side of the lakeside trail. I think the cherry blossom season must be particularly enchanting. Let‘s enjoy the beautiful scenery of red leaves in front of us first. We can‘t help but put on a Zhongshan suit and recite a preface to Tengwang Pavilion: "the sunset and solitary ducks fly together, and the autumn water is the same color".


 

When I returned to the hotel, I carefully looked at the interior design and landscape design of the hotel. The general feeling is that the design is modern and fashionable, and the grade is very high, but there are no luxurious materials. I pay attention to the guests‘ spatial feeling and the creation of the overall atmosphere. For example, in my own room, you can make soup on the balcony and light a fire, Enjoy the night view of Mount Fuji on the balcony with a cup of wine or coffee。

 

 

In addition, veranda (balcony) in the lobby bar has become a punch in place for each guest. This is a large wooden platform, which is divided into indoor and outdoor. You can order a cocktail indoors, sit on the seats in the public area and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji through the floor glass; Outside, there are some seats around several fire platforms to form several independent small spaces. At night, you can surround the campfire, absorb the fresh air and enjoy the night sky mountain scenery of Fuji.



Hunan Hot Spring Hotel

In the afternoon, we moved to another traditional Hot Spring Hotel - hot spring Hunan Zhuang Hotel. In Japan, the definition of hotel is the highest level hotel. For example, Hongxi Noah‘s hotel level in Tokyo is hotel. Hunan village is close to Donghekou lake. Outside the window is the integration of landscape and lake light. The hotel style is traditional. The decoration details show the traditional Japanese ukiyo culture and the long history of this hotel.





Guests should wear Japanese home clothes and enjoy Huaishi dinner and soup here. There is typhoon Lu Tangchi on the roof. You can soak in the soup during the day and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji.

 

 

After check-in, we walked to the nearby tianshangshan Park, took the climbing cableway to the top of the mountain, and just enjoyed Mount Fuji under Yangxi.

 


The next day, we got up early, took the bus and took the expressway back to Tokyo to catch the plane back home. The inspection mission was successfully completed.

 

 


The general feeling of the two major leisure resorts, light well Ze and Fuji Hekou lake, is that the transportation is convenient and each has its own characteristics. They all aim to serve good tourists. All locals and staff are polite and have a gentle smile, making people feel at home. The service or shopping price is reasonable and the value for money. For example, the total resident population of light well Ze is only 20000, and 83% are engaged in the tertiary industry. The total number of tourists in 2016 was about 8.43 million, creating great economic value.

 

From the back garden of Tokyo, a small town has developed into a world-famous leisure resort. There are the following macro and micro factors:

1. National economic development strategy: it can be said that the development history of Igawa is also the epitome of Japan‘s modern economic development. This century old town has gradually attracted worldwide attention and become a well-known resort. Thanks to the development model of the Japanese government to revitalize the economy, the state plans large-scale events and related public facilities, creates economic benefits and employment opportunities, and stimulates private investment and consumption. Since then, many art galleries, museums, concert halls, large shopping malls, well-known hotel groups and resorts have settled here. Mitsui has gradually shown itself in front of the world as a world-class leisure resort.
2. Support of national policies: in 1997, Shinkansen officially opened to Mitsui Ze, reducing its time to Tokyo to 1 hour and 10 minutes, greatly increasing the number of tourists. The tourist flow in the first year after opening to traffic alone increased by 50% compared with the previous year.
3. Software and hardware construction: town planners and town residents work together with one heart and one mind. The town has strict regulations on landscape construction, including detailed standards for building coverage, building area ratio, building height and color, and shop signs. This has also effectively prevented excessive real estate development and inconsistent landscape planning.


 

2. In addition, the town has formulated the citizen charter to the effect that:

1. Protect the natural environment endowed by nature and maintain simple and kind folk customs.
2. Receive tourists with heart.
3. Carry forward traditional culture.
4. Cherish the green plateau and nature.
5. Extend the atmosphere of family harmony to the formation of community culture.

The Charter points out that as residents of an international cultural sightseeing resort, they should be aware of the future development of the world. It is hoped that all citizens should not only protect the natural village on the plateau, but also receive every visiting tourist with their heart. I hope this visit can provide a little reference value for the development of China‘s leisure and vacation industry. Thank you.
