In the end we moved the futons down to the living room.||||The owner was very helpful and gave us directions to the local supermarket and places of interest. One night we had a BBQ on the porch and the owner fired up the charcoal and all we had to do was...
Read moreStayed here for two nights before departing for Tokyo city. I must say that it didn't disappoint us at all. We could see Mt. Fuji from our villa; in the living room, bedrooms and even toilet! It's a two storey villa with all the basic necessities. You can even cook your own meals and there's even a bbq pit out in the yard facing Mt Fuji! |Owner was friendly; he explained to us from A to Z, and was also helpful in guiding us on how to get around the place. The villa is also surrounded by the famous Kawaguchiko Lake and you can also cycle around it with the bicycles provided by the Villa.
