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.

We've restored and reinvented it with care. The property sits inside a national park, with no man-made structures in sight. The bedroom, dining, and living areas all face the sea through oversized custom windows. The outdoor bath, sunken in reclaimed Meiji-era Izu stone, looks out onto two uninhabited islands. A New Heritage property.
