A nice quiet stay, it'll make you feel like you live there and not just a tourist staying in the hotel. Hosts are very friendly and the location is pretty good considering you're in a house. The rooms are very spacious and the balcony is great! We also got to rent bikes from the host which was very fun and honestly almost necessary considering the buses stop running from Kawaguchiko around 7pm. Overall a great experience!

I don't really have anything negative to say, but just a couple things to keep in mind: Although the villa is very close to the bus stop, the buses stop running around 7pm (at least in June). so you'll have to walk, bike or Uber (around 2500 yen from the station) The view of Mt Fuji is great! But it's only visible from the shared terrace, not from any of the private balconies. Laundry detergent isn't included and there's no convenience store nearby so make sure to buy before you arrive. Again, these aren't bad things, just things to keep in mind. We were very satisfied with our stay!

Very great view from the balcony and especially the cafe less than a minute away I believe the owners also own. You can see Mt Fuji behind the shrine next to the house. Food can be reserved for breakfast and dinner which is really nice as konbinis are about a 4-7 min drive away. It was overall a very great experience all around. Some other pluses being; great ventilation, air conditioning, heated mat upstairs.

They do not have a smart TV but do have Wii games and a DVD player with some movies to watch (the ones I remember we watched were Ice Age and Harry Potter) but I doubt you would be on the TV being around the Mt Fuji area.

The whole experience was out of my expectation in a positive way. The place is immaculate, exactly the same as described. I can see that the host put a lot of effort in making the place a comfortable one for the guests. It has everything you need for a good rest. The host is responsive and flexible. I was late for my estimated check-in time and the host was completely cool about that. Communication was smooth, communicating in English was not a problem. I would recommend everyone who drives around the area choose the Villa Relax.

Mr. Katsura Hiroyasu Was the nicest, the most polite and kind person I’ve ever met throughout our journey in Japan. He exceeded our expectations and went beyond and above. He picked us up from the nearest station with his Van and dropped us off onto another location, which he did not charge us for it and did it with his own good will. On top of that I forgot an SSD card in the room and he was kind to deliver it to where we were at the time, THIS WOULD HAVE NEVER happened with someone else. His politeness and kindness are immeasurable. The Villa was really nice and big, clean in every corner. The check in went very smoothly, he showed us every room, told us how things worked and gave us maps to where the see the cherry blossoms on the lake for this year. The villa was really close to the Tori gate over looking the mt. Fuji and the Lake Kawaguchiko which was stunning during the sunset. The cherry blossoms were an extra, for the price he charges and the service he offers this is a MUST and it should never be empty.

The host picked us up at the train station and took us to this lovely home, showed us around, and gave us the keys. We were so happy to have some space and western furniture! We enjoyed having a kitchen and making our own food for a couple of days. The location is amazing with views of Mt. Fuji from the nice outdoor common area. It's a beautiful area, nice and quiet, and walkable to shrines, the maple corridor, nature walks, etc.

It’s really spacious! We had the entire villa to ourselves and it was the biggest space we had over our course of our Japan trip :) there was also an outdoor deck where you get to chill and admire the city. The couple also owns a small cafe beside where you get to enjoy meals! It was really calming for us. And their place is close to Asama Shrine and you can hike about 30mins to the famous photo spot Tenku No Torii gate! The owner also offered to pick us up to and from the main train station:)

Had an amazing stay in the villa. The view was really nice, and the room and space were very comfortable. It is located in a nice area of Kawaguchi, where there aren't any crowded tourists, so we had a peaceful time. We also had a chance to view Mt. Fuji from the balcony. The owner is very kind, offering us pick up and send us back to the station too. He’s very fast to respond to any queries that we had.

Excellent value with a lot of space for the kids to play. It has everything you need for a great time at Fujikawaguchiko. The host was very accommodating and friendly, and offered to drive us from the train station if we did not have a car.

Not a criticism per se, but it’s very conveniently located if you have a car, not so much if you take the bus.

The host was super friendly and explained everything and we got an amazing breakfast that was so cute and brought right to our door. The location was amazing, right at the foot of a hill with a beautiful temple at the bottom.

Host offers breakfast delivered to villa, and owns a small cafe nextdoor where he and his wife make nice comfort japanese food and coffee!

The AC on the top floor was broken, but the host was prompt to try to fix it. Hopefully this will be fixed for future stays.
