The host Taka was exceptionally helpful. He provided information on local attractions, including navigation. The facilities were great. Fantastic outdoor entertainment areas surrounded by gardens etc. Taka also provided snacks and drinks in addition to breakfast. A big plus were the range of e-bikes (and normal bikes) available for hire. Taka had thought of everything! I highly recommend Taka's place for a traveller to stay... especially if you want a break from the busy tourist crowds in town... and you can view Mt Fuji from Taka's Street!

We were collected from the bus terminal by our host Taka who then very kindly took us straight to the supermarket as he knew one of us was vegan. He showed us where things were so managed to get necessary items to last a few days on our travels. We were given a tour of the property and rooms ,had some lovely and funny chats using a translation app and we then went a quick walk to get some amazing views and photos of Mount Fuji. Stunning. The supermarket and restaurants are a short walk from the property. The accommodation is really unique with lovely bedroom areas with futons and room for more in one of the rooms. We had a very peaceful night and a cooked breakfast ( eggs and gammon like bacon, bread , croissant , yogurts and Taka also went above and beyond and made a vegan miso soup which we all tried and was delicious. We had a lift back to the bus terminal.

Very interesting and unsual place to stay. I loved the nature around the house and alfresco sitting area. Taka-san was very nice, helpful and fun host, gave us a lift back to the station as well. The room itself was more like an attic, with a low ceiling, but full of light and comfortable. Not recommended for tall people, as you can hit your head. You can rent bicycles here as well, that was great, as we didn't have a car. Would stay again.

Bathroom needs more cleaning.

The breakfast was DIY and simple with plenty of juices but no cornflakes. Its a different kind of B&B most westerner's would expect in Japan, sort of unique really, in a nice setting. Querky even, and Taka (the host) was very helpful.

Given that it is a "different" type of B&B set up, nothing really. Would suit younger guests rather than older ones with limited luggage given the access to some rooms. Again for older people, its a good "hike" to local public transport and shops/restaurants, but no reflection on the establishment who can/do provide bike hire.

Stay was good! It's a quiet place tucked away in Kawaguchiko, but the owner provides free transfers to and from the station. He also rents out bikes. We didn't take any, but there's a bus stop around 20~ mins away by walk, which takes you to the tourist stops. Rooms are quite unique for Japan, and so it was still worth the stay.

Area is a bit far away, and so there's not much in terms of dining out opportunities in the neighborhood. Costs extra time to walk to the tourist stops as well.

Our stay at this B&B was absolutely wonderful! The room was amazing, very spacious (a family room), beautifully decorated, and spotlessly clean. The owner was incredibly kind and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious and very well prepared. There was even an onsen-style hot bath and massage chair, which made the stay extra relaxing. We truly had a great time here and will definitely come back in the future!

The host - Taka is very nice, he picked us up from the station then dropped us off the next day. He also gave us all kind of drinks you can imagine in the fridge for free. He showed/drove us around where to buy groceries and restaurants around the area. We can enjoy the Mount Fuji view from in front of his house, and his backyard is so beautiful. We enjoyed our wine by sitting in the backyard with beautiful scenery.

The towels smelled like cigarettes. Other than that this place is AMAZING.

It was so fun to stay somewhere so quirky and different! Accommodation was beautiful especially with the garden , such amazing value for money. Our host was so kind and friendly, showing us around the local area and recommending areas for us to cycle to, even making sure we had snacks and water for our cycle!

The location is a little far out unless you are willing to cycle , but there’s areas for shopping/dinner about a 15 min walk away

Amazing place to stay with a family. This place is an absolute gem! The family suite was so big! It had 2 bathrooms with 2 showers and a bath, a sauna room, 3 toilets, a large bedroom and a large living room where super comfy mattresses have been added. The outdoor area is massive with multiple bbqs, hammocks, lounge chairs, bonfire. The guest was super friendly and helpful. Grocery store and restaurants were within walking distance.

I had the most incredible holiday staying in the camper van in the beautiful lakes of Fuji. The picturesque surroundings and serene waters made for a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. What truly made this experience exceptional was my host Taka. He was friendly, kind and attentive, recommending places to visit. He kindly picked me up from the train station and when I checked out he drove me back to the train station free of charge. The camper van itself was well-equipped and comfortable, even during the colder nights the inside heater warmed the space. I can't recommend this holiday experience enough. If you're looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway, coupled with a welcoming and attentive host, the lakes of Fuji in a camper van is a great choice.

Nothing.
