Lake Villa Kawaguchiko

Like a lot of Japanese apartments and houses, this is run by a local Japanese family for over 30 years. The owner came out to welcome us when we were parking our car. It is very thoughtful to provide a small wagon to transport luggage’s from the parking lot to the house. The front office has lots of cat decorations and the whole villa has several cats sitting or walking around which adds fun and has amused our kids. Owner also recommended many attractions and activities in Fujikawaguchico. The house is big for the family of 4 and has floor heating in the dining room. We liked there are 2 washrooms, and they put towel supplies for both days of our stay. There are seasonings and cooking oils provided, and EVEN plastic wraps which is very useful for packing sandwiches for our lunch. The hot spring is comfortable and there were very few people after 8 pm. The villa is a few minutes walk from the lake. There is the cherry blossoms festival during our stay so several streets are lightened up at night. We couldn’t get up early so didn’t get to see the reflection of Fuji mountain (6-8am). Overall, we highly recommend this place.

A wonderful blend of modern comfort and traditional bedding experience. Absolutely loved this place, with a spacious cozy clean apartment all to ourselves with heated floors, beautiful Mt. Fuji views, and the lake just a short 2-minute walk away. Warm hospitality throughout thanks to everyone who works there, absolutely amazing and if only we had stayed bit longer with better weather! Will be returning someday

I would highly recommend coming to this accommodation. You will not regret it!

The perfect base for experiencing Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchiko From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond — greeting us warmly and taking the time to walk us through everything: how to get around, the best spots to see Mt. Fuji, and local recommendations. Their hospitality was truly off the charts. The room was spotless and comfortable. The hotel offers a free shuttle to and from the train station, which made getting there completely hassle-free. Location-wise, you really can’t do better — it’s just a two-minute walk to the cherry blossoms and the lake. We woke up to a stunning view of Mt. Fuji in the morning, which alone made the stay unforgettable. After a long day of walking and biking around the area, the onsen was absolute heaven — the perfect way to unwind. If you’re visiting the Fuji Five Lakes area, this is the place to stay. The kindness and attentiveness of the hosts made it feel less like a hotel and more like staying with family.
