Shanghai Saikan, the Chinese restaurant located inside Highland Resort Hotel & Spa at the foot of Mount Fuji in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi, has reopened on Friday, April 10, 2026 as a fully-reservation-required, all-private-room restaurant under a new "multi-functional private dining" concept.
Marking the hotel's 40th anniversary, the restaurant has been renovated to serve a wider range of guests across diverse occasions. The renewed Shanghai Saikan now offers five private rooms totaling 110 seats — from a cozy 4-seat room ideal for anniversary dinners to the 48-seat Ouka room suited for large gatherings. The restaurant welcomes families celebrating special occasions, business dining, private dinners, and international visitors alike. The menu centers on course meals incorporating authentic Chinese dishes such as shark fin and Peking duck, with a lunch course option also available.
