This is the most memorable guesthouse I've ever stayed at. The auntie and uncle were incredibly kind. They picked us up from the station near the guesthouse in the evening, took us to watch the sunrise on Hirano Beach in the morning, and gave us really helpful travel advice. They even gave us their bicycles (worth 700 yen an hour) for free to ride around the lake, treating us like children. It was such a warm welcome while traveling in a foreign country. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm back at Mount Fuji 😭

This was my first time visiting Mount Fuji, and I decided to experience a traditional guesthouse. I chose one closer to Fuji, in Lake Yamanaka.
Transportation: Very convenient, whether by bus or train. On the way there, I took the Fujikaiyu from Shinjuku, spent some time in Kawaguchiko, then checked the schedule and took either the A1 or F1 bus to the entrance of Hana no Miyako Park, a 3-minute walk away. For the return trip, I took the highway bus from Yamanakako Station (I bought tickets in advance, choosing the Japanese option to get this stop).
Environment: Lake Yamanaka is incredibly peaceful, with very few tourists. We stayed in room 202, which offered a view of Mount Fuji. Although the room didn't have a private bathroom, the shared onsen (hot spring) and shower facilities felt much more authentic! They were very clean, and the hot spring was wonderfully relaxing! Just note that the onsen closes at 10 PM.
Food: Supermarkets, convenience stores, and 100-yen shops are all within a 10-minute walk.
Scenery: The guesthouse offered electric-assist bicycles for rent. I don't quite remember the price, but the bikes were easy to ride and saved a lot of effort. I highly recommend cycling around the lake!
Minor drawback: The soundproofing wasn't great; I could hear the alarm from the next room at 4:30 AM.

Had a wonderful and refreshing stay at SANU 2nd Home Yamanakako 1st. True to its “2nd Home” concept, the entire experience felt peaceful, comfortable, and relaxing — like having your own private retreat surrounded by nature.
The cabin is beautifully set within a natural environment, with stunning mountain landscapes and a calm atmosphere that allows you to fully unwind from busy city life. Waking up to the fresh air and scenic views was one of the highlights of the stay.
The space was cozy, well designed, and perfect for slowing down and reconnecting with nature. I would recommend arriving and checking in before the sky gets dark, as the natural surroundings make it easier and more enjoyable to settle in while there is still daylight.
Overall, it was a unique and memorable stay. Perfect for anyone looking for a quiet escape and a chance to experience nature in comfort. Would love to return again.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Villa Fuji Yamanakako. The view is truly 10/10 — we could see Mount Fuji directly from the villa, and waking up to such a breathtaking scenery every morning was an unforgettable experience. The location is perfect, with Lake Yamanakako just a 1-minute walking distance, making it very convenient for morning walks and enjoying the peaceful lakeside atmosphere.
The villa itself was very comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. One of the highlights was the fully furnished kitchen — there were plenty of utensils, plates, pots, and cooking tools available, which allowed us to prepare and enjoy our own breakfast easily. It really felt like a home away from home.
The environment was quiet, relaxing, and ideal for anyone looking to escape the busy city and enjoy nature, especially with the stunning view of Mount Fuji right in front of you. Everything was thoughtfully prepared, and our stay was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish.
We highly recommend Villa Fuji Yamanakako to anyone visiting the Fuji area. It is a perfect place for families, couples, or friends who want a comfortable stay with an incredible view. We would definitely love to come back again in the future!

Oppa LimA short drive from Lake Yamanaka, we checked into here for the night—mainly because we wanted to explore the area and try the region’s famous Hōtō noodles.
We chose a traditional Japanese futon room for the experience. That meant laying out our own beds—slightly clumsy, a bit of trial and error, and a lot of laughing when we realised there’s no “redo” once everything’s set.
The weather had a chill to it, so the onsen became the highlight. Stepping into the hot water while the cold air lingered outside—it slowed everything down in a way you don’t realise you need.
Nothing extravagant, nothing overly planned. Just the four of us, figuring things out as we went.
Looking back, it wasn’t the hotel or even the lake—it was those small, unpolished moments that made the night feel complete.

Guest UserStayed here for three nights, and it was a fantastic experience! The location is great; you can see Mount Fuji right across the road, and the view is excellent. It's also super convenient for cycling. The owners are a really lovely couple who were very helpful. The room was spacious and warm too. Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Lake Yamanaka!

Definitely one of the best stays during my Japan trip so far. The host Leslie was super friendly and welcoming, he walked us through everything we needed to know and even gave us a little tour of the place.
The highlight for me was definitely the three different types of onsen (something I was really looking forward to!), and the rooms were clean, spacious, and really comfortable.
He even drove us to the nearest convenience store when he found out we hadn’t had dinner yet, which was such a kind gesture. Breakfast the next morning (Western-style) was amazing too.
Would 200% come back again!

I love Yamanakako and have stayed around the lake 5 or 6 times over the past 4 years and at various different places. For me and my needs, this was the best place that I have stayed at so far. Reasonably-priced, with a great, lake-side location (and Fuji-san views behind) and easy (walkable) access to restaurants and convenience stores (7-11 is the nearest). Our tatami room was nice and clean and although it didn't have its own toilet, the shared facilities (toilets and separate bath) were also very clean. The staff were friendly too. I like to try staying at new places but would happily (and most probably will) stay at Lakepia Angel again. That would give me the opportunity to try the food, which I didn't experience this time. Thanks!
