Lake Sagami · Tanzawa × Stays Popular For SunsetsHighly rated for customer service and hospitality at Hotel·Ryokan

This Accommodation was outstanding in every way—sauna, location, projector, meals, and hospitality. First, the sauna: it was the best I’ve ever experienced. It was my first time trying a wood-burning sauna, but with löyly you can raise the temperature significantly, and paired with the cold plunge afterward it made for an incredible experience. Because this Facility is surrounded by nature, it’s wonderfully quiet. Spending time in an environment filled only with the sounds of wind and rain, birds and insects was deeply relaxing. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a flying squirrel. The projector also delivers a true cinema-like screen size and sound quality—movie lovers will definitely enjoy it. Even just playing music videos on YouTube feels completely different and special. The meals were a grill-it-yourself style with meat and vegetables, but since a high-performance grill is provided, even beginners can cook everything deliciously. The beef was wagyu and very generous in portion size. The staff’s hospitality was excellent as well. Thank you for accommodating our preferred timing for meal preparation. The service felt kind and friendly—like being looked after by a warm-hearted aunt. If you ask about the surrounding nature or local plants and animals, they’ll happily share lots of information. We were also treated to vegetables from their garden and watermelon as a complimentary service, which truly moved us with such heartfelt hospitality. By the way, it rained on the day I stayed there, so I can’t say I enjoyed this Facility 100%. Even so, as written above, it was an extremely satisfying experience. I highly recommend this place.

The Accommodation was located on the shores of Lake Yamanaka and offered a wonderful view of Mt. Fuji. The showers and toilets were shared, but they were well cleaned, and combined with the affordable rate, it was not an issue at all. I was also able to sleep soundly.

We stayed as a family, and what we loved most was the completely private space that comes with renting an entire house—so we could relax without worrying about anyone around us. The location at the foot of Mt. Fuji in Lake Yamanaka was also very appealing, and we truly enjoyed a luxurious time surrounded by nature. The spacious living room and well-equipped kitchen made it easy to unwind as if we were at home, and the seasonal scenery outside the windows was incredibly soothing. We took our time enjoying the fresh air in the large garden and greenery, and had fun cooking for ourselves in the kitchen—it really felt like staying at a vacation home. The freedom to wake up, eat, and spend our days on our own schedule was perfect for a family trip. It was also impressive how innovative the system was that allowed us to check in and check out smoothly without meeting staff in person. The bedding was comfortable and we slept very well, and it was reassuring that insect-repellent items were thoroughly provided. There were fewer insects than expected, which made our stay even more comfortable. It’s also conveniently located as a base for sightseeing around Lake Yamanaka, and it was a wonderful Accommodation where you can enjoy the special feel of an upscale private villa rental. We’d love to stay again and highly recommend it.
