First, about the owners: my rental broke down just as I reached the property. They helped me by calling the rental company, then the insurance company, then the tow truck company. I don't speak a word of Japanese and I couldn't get this done without them. That lead me to trying to find a way back. They spent 7 to 8 hours helping me find my route! It's a complicated route that I had (going to kyoto) and they walked me through all of it. They are savvy, know bus routes, and will lend you a hand if need be. Now the property: amazing!! Next to the lake, plenty of parking, clean throughout, cloae to moint fuji. Heated floors were amazing (especially in winte)r. Common areas are functional, and they provide everything you need to make it feel like home. They showed us how to prepare our market bought meals (market is just around the corner). The house is absolutely beautiful. Chances are, you will meet like minded, mature travellers like we did. This was not a frat house. Guests were mature, from all around the world, and I had a great time conversating with the few small groups I came across. The hosts stayed up with us, we all had drinks in the common area, and had good conversation. 10 out of 10, I would recommend it again. I don't usually write lengthy reviews but this review is easily, we'll deserved.

AMAZING! What really made our stay special were the owners. The couple is incredibly kind and helpful. They communicate fluently using a translation machine into English (or another language of your choice), which worked perfectly! The house was very clean, and their enthusiasm for Mount Fuji is contagious. The location is excellent: close to a huge supermarket with both Western and local products. Truly a fantastic supermarket! Also within walking distance are an Alfamart, bike rental, and the lake. On our last evening, we wanted to have a BBQ in the front yard, and the owners arranged it for us. They even joined us for a while, and we had a great time laughing and enjoying each other's company. The owner has a great sense of humor and we felt right at home. These people have hearts of gold and the location is fantastic! Highly recommended. Thank you for everything. We wanted to stay longer, but unfortunately, it was fully booked.

Incredible experience. Maybe the best one yet! We spent the night playing card games with the two owners as well as another guest. Although the owners don't speak English, communication was always easy as they have a device to immediately translate from Japanese to English or any other language and vice versa. They often helped us plan our itinerary for the next day. The beds and comforters were so comfortable and we could see Mount Fuji from our window. There were bathrooms on both floors but the shower rooms are on the first floor so plan your baths carefully. Would love to come again.

It’s a pretty house with comfortable amenities. The couples are very very helpful and fun loving. They are caring and gives good spaces. It’s 10mins walk to the lake and eateries. Very quite area. There is a fridge, microwave to head up your own food. Complimentary tea, coffee and water. The best thing we loved is it’s away from the city, local experience to stay with Japanese couples and their warm welcoming environment. If you want quite and clean place it’s value for money.

Clean, warm and cosy. The beds are comfortable and the room has floor heating.
Room is crammed for 4 people. There’s also a specific time slot to use the toilet and shower rooms which is slightly inconvenient, but we understand that it’s to avoid disturbing the guests.

The property was really nice very close to the Yamanakako Lake which has one of the best views of Mt. Fuji. In terms of facility, it was complete perfect for someone looking for a stay other than hotel.
At first it was difficult to find the property. If you’re using google maps, I recommend to look for the Japanese name (ペンションぽうぜ) instead of English, if you are driving. But the lady owner was very kind to fetch us in the nearby grocery store.

The owners were exceptionally nice, always willing to help and pleasant to chat with. The whole pension is nicely designed with great shared space that allows either for remote work, or an opportunity to meet and chat with other people.

Warm, helpful hosts with a voice translator for clear communication. Big room, traditional Japanese bath, and safe indoor bike storage. Just 3 minutes from the lake by bicycle.
Nothing—everything was thoughtful and well-prepared

The owners were very kind and even though they don't speak english we were able to communicate by using their interpreter device. The accommodation was very clean and had all we needed for a comfortable stay. They also gave us info on what to do in the area.
