We booked the topmost suite with the private bathroom, BBQ grill, and panoramic tent. The view of Mt. Fuji is stunning when the skies are clear, the elevation overlooks the entire residential area. Check in and check out were very easily done through a tablet onsite, and you receive prompt instructions on how to enter the suite within a few days of your reservation.

They also have a nice barbecue area before the entryway with cute outdoor decor. Just be sure to pack plenty of...

We left early in the morning and right before we reached to the property (after 4 hours drive) they sent another message and said our reservation was cancelled! We called the phone number nobody answered, reported it to booking.com and they couldn’t reach to the property owner too. After 2 hours booking.com said they will cancel the reservation and send our money back since they can’t reach to the owner. We ended up looking for a hotel on weekend!! Never seen something like that and definetely not recommend...
