A quiet private villa with a superb view terrace overlooking Mt. Fuji and Lake Yamanaka, where you can also enjoy a BBQ and sauna!
This accommodation is a private resort called "Private Resort Hoshike", located in a villa area about 7 minutes by car from Lake Yamanaka, which was renovated by a designer in November 2025. In a calm, modern Japanese space that makes use of the warmth of wood, you can see the magnificent Mt. Fuji in front of you from the room and the terrace. If you go out to the terrace, you can enjoy a relaxing BBQ with Mt. Fuji in the background. Spending time looking at Mt. Fuji, which changes its appearance depending on the season and time of day, is a special experience that can only be enjoyed here. ▫️ Notes ▫️ About the natural environment. It is a natural environment. We take measures to prevent insects from entering the room, but it is difficult to completely prevent them, so we do not recommend staying here if you are not good with insects. About the surrounding walking paths There is a walking path next to the house, and hikers occasionally pass by. About winter use There is a steep uphill slope to access, so please equip studless chains in winter. The hotel is also accessible only by car or taxi.

Japanese-style lighting/BBQ/Irori/15 minutes by car to Ena City/Private rental for one group per day/Old house Mahoroba
Why we created this private lodging, "Mahoroba" 1. I want people to know a little bit about the wonderful illuminations in Japan. 2. I want to create a spot that can be enjoyed at night, and I want you to value the time you spend with friends and lovers. 3. I want you to experience and enjoy the charm of the Higashi-nochi area of Gifu That's how I feel. The charm of our private lodging is the magical lighting in the house. In the evening, warm lighting soothes the heart and creates a special atmosphere. You can also BBQ or dine around the fireplace under the lights. Experience an extraordinary space with friends in this natural environment where you can see the stars in the sky. There are also plenty of sightseeing spots, such as the historic castle town of Iwamura, Japan Taisho Village, and Magome-juku, which has a nostalgic atmosphere. Recommended for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and connect with nature with their friends.
