I entered the room in the afternoon on July 16, 2024, and left on the morning of the 17th. This place is a little different from other hotels and inns, and is more like a homestay.Therefore, although the guest rooms are not large, they are perfect for resting.I also saw many deer near this hotel. I really liked it because it was surrounded by nature and it was relaxing for both mind and body.And here comes my first impression.The family that runs this inn were all very kind, warm, and nice people.I really wanted to talk to you more.

Just stayed for two nights during bike packing tour. Quiet resort, not far from lake and various restaurants. Room size sufficient (AC), bed quality good. Separate toilet and shower (clean).Managed by a friendly lady from Taiwan, who knows how to make a good morning coffee.

Great to find somewhere a bit out of the way. Very peaceful. Often saw deer roaming around the area. Hostess was incredibly helpful despite the language barrier. Bit of a walk to the buses but I quite like the exercise. Good base to explore the Mt Fuji area from.

It is recommended that you have a car to reach this location, as it is not ideal for solo travelers due to its remote nature and significant distance from public transportation. The highway bus driver even double-checked with me to confirm that this was my intended destination. Additionally, there is a considerable walk from the bus stop to the location.Public transportation is infrequent in this area.The host seems disinclined to showcase their home.The host is only fluent in Chinese and does not speak English, not even basic phrases, but has some knowledge of simple Japanese.It is not advised for Chinese travelers to visit this place for leisure.

A nice place with kind people there to help you whenever you need. They provided a simple breakfast of toast and eggs, and many of the rooms (but not all) have bathrooms attached. They also have karaoke and an area outdoor to barbecue
