GARDEN SHED

Yamanashi Prefecture／Lake Yamanaka
Vacation rental

Experience an extraordinary stay at an authentic vintage cottage at the foot of Mt. Fuji.

Like a fine wine aged over the years, this is not old nor artificial, but a true vintage cottage. Designed by architectural designer Mio Makita, known for works such as PAPER MOON at Lake Yamanaka, these two wooden cottages offer an extraordinary escape. The 242-square-meter "Corvette" is a garage house featuring a permanent display of the 1964 Corvette C2 Stingray. The 95-square-meter single-story "Montana" is a charming country house with terracotta tiles and distinctive truss beams. Nestled at the foot of Mt. Fuji near Lake Yamanaka, enjoy the budding wildflowers in spring, refreshing blue skies in summer, vibrant autumn foliage and golden pampas grass in fall, and crisp winter air perfect for deep breaths. Experience all four seasons while relaxing in an elegant space where time flows gently. Escape from your daily routine to enjoy reading, BBQs, lakeside strolls or stargazing under the night sky. "GARDEN SHED," meaning garden cottage, awaits your visit!

  • My desire to live between two locations has grown.

    While Accommodations with Onsen and breakfast and dinner included are wonderful, we were hoping for a stay that felt more like living locally. We stayed as a couple, and the simple layout—kitchen, dining area, bedroom, toilet, and shower—was impressive and made for a very comfortable stay. The owner’s mural was gentle and blended beautifully with the interior, creating a lovely atmosphere. We were told that in winter all rooms have underfloor heating so you can stay comfortable even in short sleeves, so we’d love to visit again in another season. There’s an OGINO supermarket nearby as well as a butcher shop; we enjoyed basashi and relaxed with Yamanashi wine (the kitchen knife wasn’t very sharp, but honestly it felt safer that way). Partway through our stay, the owner stopped by to check on us and shared stories about life at Lake Yamanaka—more than anything else, that became our favorite memory and made us feel at ease. It was a truly wonderful stay. Thank you very much.

  • Highly satisfied!

    I stayed here with my mother on a trip for two. The Accommodation was so spacious it felt almost too much for just the two of us, and everything—from the kitchen and living room to the restroom—was wonderful. We bought ingredients nearby and ate in our Room, and being able to stay as if we were living there made it a great memory. I would definitely like to stay again!

We recommend arriving by private car or rental car.

Lake Yamanaka is approximately 13 km in circumference, and having a car makes it convenient to visit nearby attractions.

Public transportation available around Lake Yamanaka includes buses and taxis only.

Our cottage is located 1.7 km from the nearest bus stop (Yamanakako Hirano), so we suggest considering the use of a car.

From December to April, we recommend using snow tires. If snowfall is expected based on weather forecasts, please also consider using public transportation.
