Fuji Speedway Hotel ,in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

The Fuji Speedway Hotel brought me an unforgettable experience. Located right by the Fuji Speedway with stunning Mount Fuji views, this hotel is perfect for car enthusiasts and travelers seeking luxury. The service was exceptional—staff were kind, friendly, and most spoke excellent English, making communication a breeze for non-Japanese speakers. Check-in was smooth, and the team was always ready to assist with a smile. The rooms were modern and comfortable, offering great views of the racetrack or Mount Fuji. I loved the motorsport-themed touches, like car-inspired decor, which added character without being overdone. The highlight for me was the circuit driving experience near the hotel. For an extra fee (around $100 for three laps, requiring an international driving permit), I got to drive on the track—a thrilling first for someone with no prior circuit experience! It was well-organized and an absolute must for adrenaline junkies. The onsen spa and indoor pool were relaxing, and dining at TROFEO Italian was a treat, with fresh dishes and scenic views. The only downside is the remote location, so a car or the hotel’s shuttle from Gotemba is handy for exploring. Overall, the outstanding service and unique driving experience made this stay memorable.

Amazing hotel!! Since start the staff is perfect, great facilities (room, pool, onsen, gym, etc) Everything is high quality! And the view of Mt Fuji & racing tracks are breathtaking, highly recommended!

Unique experience being able to view the Speedway from your room. The rooms are a good size with excellent facilities. There is a very high level of attention to detail, in every aspect of the experience. The game room as a little disappointing as it was really just 4 driving SIMS running. The RC cars are on a very small circuit and not really usable. Fun, but maybe not worth 2,200 yen per personl The museum is great and the staff were fantastic. One gentleman allowed our son to sit in a couple of the cars on display. My understanding is that this was due to it being summer holidays for kids. Note that the pool is closed to children at 6pm and the Gym is off limits for kids as well. Overall a very good experience, Michael
