Large Western House with deck overlooking Lake Suwa, Sth Alps & Mt Fuji

Nestled in the hills of Shimosuwa, this charming, spacious home features 3 bedrooms—all with queen and double beds, plus one single bed—and is backed by forests on the hills of Shimosuwa, offering spectacular views of Lake Suwa and Mount Fuji. With only two other houses on the hill, you can enjoy peace and quiet. Featuring a spacious deck with breathtaking views, a large Western-style kitchen, a combined living and dining area, an office, a kids’ play area, a piano, and a large TV, this home ensures a relaxing stay. Central heating keeps you warm during the colder months, while the cooler climate offers comfort in the summer. Its ideal location between Matsumoto, the Kiso Valley, and the Yatsugatake mountain range makes Shimosuwa an excellent choice for your stay. It’s the perfect base for a cycling trip, featuring a spacious, lockable basement for your bikes, free and ample parking for cars, great trails for mountain bikes, and quiet roads and passes for road bikes. Tours can be arranged, and we’re happy to offer advice. There’s a fantastic MTB/hiking trail that starts just 10 meters from your front door.
Supermarkets, temples, hot springs, the train station, and parks for kids are only a few minutes away by car.
Shimosuwa is also famous for its Onbashira Festival, held every six years; the next one will take place from May 3 to 16, 2028. The main attraction is “Kiotoshi,” where about ten men ride a 20-metric-ton tree down a steep slope—it’s just a 5-minute drive away.
