GUEST VOICES
Guest reviews

Emma

A relaxed base for exploring the Mt. Fuji area

We wanted to spend a few days near Mt. Fuji. Yamanakako was quiet and convenient for visiting Kawaguchiko and Gotemba, so it was a perfect sightseeing base. Compared with a hotel, we could use our time more freely. I especially remember buying ingredients at a nearby supermarket, cooking simple meals in the kitchen, and relaxing.

Hideki Tanaka

Perfect for a weekend golf trip

We stayed for a weekend golf trip with friends. With golf courses nearby, getting around before and after our round was easy. After playing, we went straight into the sauna and spent the evening talking by the fire, something you do not really get at a hotel. It was a place where friends could relax without hesitation.

Miho Kubota

A place where a large group can relax and have fun

With BBQ, the playroom, and a large screen, there were plenty of things for everyone to enjoy. We never got bored. Because it is a private villa, we could spend time without worrying about others.

Mario

A quiet place to return to after sightseeing

We used it for a road trip around the Mt. Fuji area. It was easy to reach Yamanakako, Kawaguchiko, and Gotemba, and we liked being able to go out during the day and return to a quiet villa at night. There is a sauna and BBQ, but the best part was not overpacking our schedule and making time to relax.

Daniel

We could relax calmly in nature

We chose it because we wanted to spend a few days somewhere quiet and different from Tokyo. The forest is close by, and the morning and evening air felt wonderful. We had days for sightseeing and days for doing nothing at the villa, so it felt less like a short trip and more like living there for a while.

Hanni

A comfortable stay for our family

We stayed while traveling around Mt. Fuji as a family. During the day we visited Kawaguchiko and nearby sights, and at night we returned to the villa to relax. With the kitchen and playroom, we did not have to eat out or go out all the time, and everyone in the family could spend time comfortably.
