Villas in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

"Excellent cabins. They have everything you need for a comfortable stay. It's located right next to the train station, so you can hear the trains, but it didn't bother us. However, it's something to consider if peace and quiet are important to you. There's a beautiful view of Fuji. And the blankets were amazing!!! The best we've encountered in Japan :)"

"This private rental house was super clean inside and had a really comfortable design 💕. We slept so well, highly recommend! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Remember to register your accommodation information online the day before to avoid having to do it on-site. The online registration process is simple and straightforward; just follow the steps and upload your passport details. When you arrive, there's a tablet by the room door where you'll tap to check in, confirm your pre-registered information, and take a photo to complete the check-in process. ☺️ There's a Lawson and a 7-11 nearby, so restocking anything you need is incredibly convenient! ~~~~"

"The owner of the homestay lives in a quarantine house, there are free parking spaces, the owner is very kind and polite, and all the facilities at home are complete. A house can live in 6-7 for individuals."

"Matsuya is very beautiful, clean and quiet. It is very relaxing to live in. You can see the whole view of Mount Fuji by walking out. It is very romantic. There is a big supermarket next to it, which is very convenient for buying anything. The baby had a lot of fun playing in the house, climbing up and down, very excited. The boss lady is also very nice. She helped us book a taxi and recommend restaurants. She was very helpful to us. Our whole family likes Matsuya very much!"

"This hotel opened fairly recently, so all the facilities are brand new. We stayed here for two nights as part of a chartered car tour, and it was excellent. The Japanese bathing culture, in particular, is something truly worth experiencing. Don't worry about transportation; you can ask the front desk staff to help you call a taxi. They are very friendly and polite, so even if there's a language barrier, it's not an issue at all – just use your phone to translate and show them you need a taxi, and one will arrive in about 5 minutes. You can also cook here, which was great for our family of three on a parent-child trip as we bought lots of ingredients. The only thing we couldn't quite figure out was the trash separation, but it wasn't a huge hassle. If you don't know how to sort it, just bag everything together by material and leave it on the deck outside your door. For anyone staying in a homestay in Japan, definitely do your research beforehand! It was a perfect experience."

"Absolutely loved this Airbnb! It's made up of individual villas nestled in the quiet fields at the foot of the mountains. You can even cook your own meals or have a BBQ at the villa. The owner's English is excellent, super standard! They also have lots of cats, one of them is named Xiaohua (Hana). The grandpa and grandma are both very kind and welcoming. There's a discounted, delicious hot dog sandwich shop right outside. Thanks for having me, I'll definitely be back!"

"The premise is very alternative, but if you like adventure you will like it. The host is extremely welcoming and friendly."

"I truly enjoyed my time at this place. We celebrated New Year's here, and it proved to be a wonderful spot to stay with friends. What stood out most was the host's warm and welcoming nature. I still remember their friendly smile when I was checking out."

"I booked this hotel because the promotion made it seem luxurious, but the surroundings feel odd, almost like all the trees have been removed by purpose, littered with dry leaves and fallen branches. It feels dirty and poorly cared for. I was expecting a neatly landscaped area with grass and trees, but instead, the outside feels like a barren, lifeless space. That said, the inside of the room looks very good. The accommodation consists of two separate large caravan‑style rooms. They are not very spacious, but they are sufficient for a family of four. One of the rooms has slightly less living space because it includes a larger bathroom, with a full‑size bathtub. This is something you rarely find in Tokyo, where most bathtubs are quite small, so this was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, we struggled with the bathtub controls as it was written in Japanese, we couldn't use it after all. Also, the heating system are all labeled in Japanese, and there were no clear instructions in English. As a result, we didn’t figure out how to use the heating until the second night. We stayed for two nights in total. There is an outdoor spa area, which is interesting and enjoyable. We used it and found it quite good, although it is small. It works best for two people, three is a tight squeeze, and four would be uncomfortable. The sauna is decent and operates daily. Breakfast is served at set times rather than as a buffet, likely because the hotel only has 14 rooms. Guests must choose a time slot, such as 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30. We chose 8:30. Breakfast is a set menu rather than self‑service. Each morning includes a starter, a main dish, and some small item to finish, well enough for us. The first day was Japanese‑style, with a rice‑based dish. The second day was Western‑style, with a sandwich as the main course and fried eggs with pork belly. The food tasted good, but we would have appreciated more water. We did not ask for refills, as staff left the area after serving. Finding the hotel is a bit difficult. The entrance sign is blocked by a car park sign, making it very easy to miss. You need to drive very slowly, or you will pass it without realising it. We spent several minutes searching before realising this was the place. Be prepared to see a car park with two signs, where one directly blocks the hotel’s entrance sign."

"The place is clean and spacious, the service attitude is good, and the food quality is first-class. However, the shuttle bus was 20ms late and the facilities were not complete enough."
