I stayed here and got in contact with the staff - communication was super! Very nice and they tried to accommodate me. The area is exceptional, lakefront and very silent, be careful though, a car is really nice to have since there is not a lot in the area like restaurants.
The room was a little bit smelly when i arrived, i had the window open for a very long time, but didn’t really got hold of it for the time of my stay.
The futon is very small, so sleeping is rather hard.
The room was a bit dusty - something i didn’t like for the price. The kitchen was a mess when i arrived, maybe because of other travelers. My room didn’t face Mt. Fuji directly - not a big problem for me since you can always go outside.
But also be aware there are others sharing your space, like kitchen and restroom - you can hear everything, and my fellow travellers weren’t very silent. :(

The view from the Mountain View room is INCREDIBLE 😍 We were right on the water front and even got to borrow some paddle boards for the morning. The room was clean and the whole guest house is beautiful. A truly unforgettable stay.
The WiFi doesn’t work in the Mountain View room, and the bikes that are mentioned in other reviews are NOT available to borrow. They cost £10 each for 3 hours to rent nearby.

Very clean, warm and traditional Japanese style room. The host was super friendly and knew English which was really helpful. The perfect view to see Mountain Fuji just outside the Guest house zen. Hoping we can visit there soon.

We were looking for a good location to hopefully see mount Fuji and this is perfect!
Can't ever guarantee the view but we lucked out.
In any case it is a beautiful place on the lake and less busy than other areas.
Nothing!

沒有早餐需自行準備,但後面有小廚房可以使用,雖然我沒有使用,但如果可以自己跟旅伴一起準備可以更棒,我們是早餐到附近餐廳吃餐點解決,窗外的風景景色很美美到不像話,但是靠近湖旁是蠻冷的,建議穿發熱衣睡覺,房間也很有特色蠻乾淨的也香香的,下次一定還要回來入住。
蠻冷的還好有烘被機器,可以讓被子溫暖不至於晚上失溫,浴室只有一間出來時有小台的暖爐,但不至於可以超溫暖但是足夠的,其他設備都很滿意。

The setting of the place was remarkable, situated right across from Mt Fuji. Fortunately, during my two-day stay, the weather was clear, allowing for unobstructed views of the mountain. The room, ideally sized for a couple, featured a wardrobe for storing our luggage. The pillows were exceptionally comfortable, and the room maintained a cozy warmth, thanks to the air conditioners and bed warmers.
The futon was somewhat thin, leading to a bit of discomfort after sleeping on it, which is expected for those unaccustomed to it. Dining options were limited on this side of the lake, resulting in us having dinner from 7/11 on both nights.

First, I think this is the first Accomadation that provides a Futon dryer to make the bed warm for the guest to sleep well, Secondly, I requested the Owner for some local recommendation places to visit since this was the only day where my itinerary is surrounded on this Accomdation and The owner recommended some nice places. Cycling around the area was Tons of fun too. 120% will come back again along with my friends if possible.
If there was a TV, that would have been perfection. But everything else is Top Notch. Wish i could stay there for 2 Nights or more instead of 1 night .

Absolutely! I had the most wonderful experience staying at this charming boutique stay home in Japan. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the cozy ambiance and attention to detail. The decor seamlessly blended traditional Japanese elements with modern comforts, creating a truly unique and immersive atmosphere.
The hosts were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was exceptional. They provided personalized recommendations for local attractions and dining, which allowed me to explore the area like a true insider. The level of hospitality was unparalleled, making me feel like a valued guest throughout my entire stay.

Beautifully presented room with tatami and such a warm and cosy futon. The guest house is ideally located on the prettiest side of Lake Yamanaka, and I could see Mount Fuji out of my window. In the early morning it was reflected in the lake as the mist rose off the water, and the view was magical. Staying here was a special experience.

Amazing views of Fuji right through our bedroom window, comfortable house with really relaxed atmosphere and awesome host.
Nothing, all was perfect

such a beautiful property that looks right out onto Fuji. the view really doesn’t get better. the host is so amazing, helping with recommendations or any questions and there to help whenever you need. also a bonus is they have bikes you can use to cycle around the area :)
literally nothing.

This is that rare gem you’re looking for. Probably a once in a lifetime experience. The room feels authentic, is comfy and cozy. It has a big closet to stow away all your luggage to keep the room as aesthetic as it is. The view is breathtaking, mesmerising and iconic above all. The host is unbelievably friendly, generous and speaks English very well. If hospitality would be a form of art this host would be a master.
The only downside is the moment one has to leave again. Unforgettable experiences are hard to part from…

The place is simply amazing. It's a traditional Japanese house with cozy tatami rooms. My room had an amazing view of Fuji. I just look out and see it all! I don't think it can get better than that. And you get out of the hotel and you're on the beach! The owner is very sweet guy too. Highly recommended! Just beware of the buses, it's a village so they are not that frequent.
it was amazing
