Overview

Stay near the shore of Lake Yamanaka at Wan Wan Paradise Premier Yamanakako, formerly Wan’s Resort Lake Yamanaka. The hotel gives you a dog-focused base at the foot of Mt. Fuji, with dedicated play areas, dog-friendly dining, natural hot spring bathing, and rooms designed for travelling together.

Mt. Fuji forms an important part of the stay, although the view depends on the weather. Selected rooms face the mountain, while the rooftop dog park and main outdoor dog park provide further opportunities to see the summit when the sky is clear.

The hotel completed a renovation in March 2026, adding a larger family room and updating the reception area. You can now choose from eight room types, including Mt. Fuji View Rooms, accommodation with a private dog run, Japanese rooms, and a 62-square-metre family room with a private bathroom.

You can keep your dog with you in your room and at the restaurant. The outdoor dog parks, indoor play area, self-service shampoo room, dog stroller loans, photography service, and short-term dog-care service make it easier to plan your day without leaving essential supplies behind.

Accommodation

Choose from eight room types accommodating between two and five people. Floors use materials selected to provide your dog with better grip, and dog equipment is prepared inside the room.

The Mt. Fuji View Standard Twin measures approximately 34 square metres and accommodates up to three people. It has two 120-centimetre-wide beds, space for an extra bed, and a private shower booth. When the weather is clear, you can see Mt. Fuji from the room.

The Mt. Fuji View Deluxe Twin provides approximately 45 square metres and accommodates up to four people. Two main beds and two additional beds support a family or small group stay. A private balcony allows you and your dog to spend time outside together, while the room also has a shower booth.

The 50-square-metre Mt. Fuji View Family Room accommodates up to five people. It has two main beds, three additional beds, a private balcony, and a shower booth. The larger layout gives you more space when travelling with several dogs, a larger dog, or younger children.

Two Standard Twin Rooms come with a private dog run measuring approximately 11 square metres. Each room covers around 25 square metres and accommodates up to three people. You can step directly from the room onto the terrace and let your dog exercise without entering the shared dog parks.

The seven-tatami Japanese Room measures approximately 28 square metres and accommodates two people on futons. The dog-friendly tatami and step-free room interior can be helpful when you travel with an older dog. This room does not have a private shower, so you use one of the shared shower booths or the public hot spring bath.

The Standard Twin measures approximately 28 square metres and provides two 120-centimetre-wide beds. It accommodates two people and uses flooring that helps reduce slipping. This category also uses the shared shower facilities rather than an in-room shower.

The 28-square-metre Standard Twin with Double Beds has two 140-centimetre-wide beds and accommodates up to four people when two people share each bed. It is a practical option for a family that does not need a separate bed for every person. Shower facilities are located outside the room.

The Deluxe Family Room opened in March 2026 and is the largest category at 62 square metres. Two main beds, sofa beds, and a trundle bed accommodate up to five people. Unlike the other standard categories, this room has a private unit bathroom with a regular bathtub.

Standard room equipment includes free Wi-Fi, a television, refrigerator, safe, electric kettle, drinks, room wear, towels, and toiletries. Dog equipment includes a toilet tray, pet sheets, waste bags, manner wear, cleaning supplies, a lint roller, deodorising spray, food bowls, and a lead hook.

Your dog can sleep beside you on the bed or futon when wearing manner wear. You need to prepare the futons yourself when staying in the Japanese Room.

Dining

Raisin D’or serves breakfast and dinner in a bright dining room where you can eat beside your dog. Large windows face Mt. Fuji, although the mountain may be hidden by clouds or darkness during your meal.

Dinner follows a French course format. You can choose between a standard course and a higher-grade course using additional ingredients and more elaborate preparations.

Menus change with the season. Current dishes may feature Koshu Wine Beef, Koshu beef fillet, Fuji Sakura pork, Shingen chicken, seafood, highland vegetables, Yamanashi fruit, and sauces inspired by French cooking.

The standard course focuses on seasonal vegetables, fish, and meat. A typical dinner may include a seafood appetiser, roasted Fuji Sakura pork, soup, a fish dish, Koshu Wine Beef sirloin, bread, dessert, and coffee or tea.

The upgraded course may add ingredients such as abalone, large prawns, Koshu beef fillet, and an additional meat or seafood plate. Yamanashi wines are available to pair with dinner.

Breakfast is Western-style and includes dishes such as a soft omelette, salad prepared with fresh vegetables, bread, yogurt, and drinks. The exact meal changes according to the date and ingredient supply.

Breakfast normally runs from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., while dinner is served from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The restaurant may use longer service hours during busy periods.

Your dog can join you inside the restaurant. A dedicated dog menu is available, and you can also bring the food your dog normally eats when changing diets could cause discomfort.

Onsen and Wellness

The first-floor public bath uses natural water from Yamanakako Onsen’s Benifuji no Yu source. The spring has a very high alkaline level while retaining a mild mineral composition.

The clear alkaline simple spring has a smooth feel against the skin. It is associated with relief from fatigue, sensitivity to cold, neuralgia, muscle and joint discomfort, stiff shoulders, bruises, sprains, digestive concerns, and recovery after illness.

You can use the public bath from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and again from 3:00 p.m. until midnight. This gives you time for a morning bath before breakfast and another soak after dinner.

The hotel does not have a private or reservable onsen. None of the rooms contains natural hot spring water.

The Mt. Fuji View Rooms and private-dog-run rooms have private shower booths. The Deluxe Family Room has a private unit bathroom with a regular bathtub. The Japanese Room and standard room categories use shared shower booths when you do not wish to enter the public bath.

Dogs cannot enter the hot spring bathing area. Children who still use diapers also cannot use the public bath for hygiene and safety reasons.

Guests with Tattoos

Tattoos, body paint, and similar markings are not permitted in the public hot spring bath. The hotel does not provide a cover-sticker exception or a private onsen.

Facilities

DOG PARK Tenku sits on the rooftop and uses bright blue artificial turf that is gentle on your dog’s paws. From here, you can see Mt. Fuji and Lake Yamanaka when conditions are clear. It normally opens from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with an earlier closing time around sunset during winter.

The main outdoor dog park covers approximately 800 square metres. It includes open space for running and a small-dog priority area. You can use it from sunrise until 9:00 p.m., giving you time for an early walk or an evening play session.

An indoor play space gives you an alternative during rain, snow, or extreme temperatures. Agility equipment and toys allow your dog to remain active without going outside.

The self-service shampoo room allows you to wash and dry your dog after running outside or walking beside the lake. The facility carries an additional charge.

A photography service gives you the opportunity to arrange portraits and action photographs in the dog park or around the hotel. Sessions need to be reserved in advance and may be cancelled when the weather prevents outdoor photography.

Dog strollers can be borrowed for use inside the hotel. A short-term care service is also available during your stay, which can be useful when you want to enter the hot spring or visit a place that does not accept dogs.

The shop carries dog products, treats, drinks, local souvenirs, and travel essentials. You can visit the shop even when you are not staying overnight.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. The building is non-smoking, with smoking limited to a designated area. The property is not completely barrier-free, and you may encounter steps near the restaurant and in some corridors and rooms.

Activities

Spend time in the hotel’s three main dog-play spaces: the rooftop dog park, the 800-square-metre outdoor dog park, and the indoor play area. Each gives you a different setting for exercise, training, photographs, and time with other dog owners.

The shoreline of Lake Yamanaka is nearby and provides places for walking, photography, and enjoying views of Mt. Fuji. The appearance of the mountain changes throughout the day, with clearer conditions often found in the morning.

Hana no Miyako Park is a short drive away and displays seasonal flowers against the backdrop of Mt. Fuji. Dogs can enter the park, although some indoor areas may require you to carry your dog or use a suitable bag.

Drive to Panorama-dai for an elevated view across Lake Yamanaka, Mt. Fuji, and the surrounding mountains. Autumn brings fields of pampas grass, while winter often provides clearer mountain views.

You can also visit the shops, cafés, parks, and sightseeing areas around Lake Yamanaka. Rules for dogs differ between individual businesses, boats, and indoor attractions, so you need to follow the conditions displayed at each location.

A professional photography session at the hotel gives you another way to record your stay. The photographer can capture your dog running in the dog park, walking with you, or posing with Mt. Fuji when the mountain is visible.

Additional Features

Check-in begins at 3:00 p.m., and check-out is by 11:00 a.m.

The hotel is around seven minutes by car from Yamanakako Interchange on the Higashi-Fujigoko Road. Free parking normally provides space for 26 vehicles on a first-come basis.

Dogs of all sizes and breeds can stay, and the hotel does not set a general limit on the number of dogs. Your chosen room must still provide enough space for everyone travelling together.

Each dog must live mainly indoors, have basic training, and have received the required rabies vaccination and either a valid combination vaccination or an antibody test. Dogs younger than four months and dogs in heat cannot stay.

You need to complete the dog accommodation agreement before arrival. Dogs are the only animals accepted under the pet accommodation rules.
