Super clean, spacious and well organized apartment. It's situated in a very quiet area near a beautiful shrine. Would recommend Villa Relax to anyone visiting Kawaguchiko.

“The stay was very enjoyable and we’re able to relax fully after a long walk to see Fuji.”

The property is spacious and clean with distinct living area. The host is very friendly and helpful. The area is close with a few convenience store and located right beside a shrine.

This accommodation was large and a great place to relax at our halfway point of our Japan trip. There is a beautiful shrine next to the accommodation which was actually relatively quiet. We hired a car to explore Fuji Five Lakes, having parking at the house made it very easy to explore the whole area. The living, dining and kitchen were a great size and had everything we needed. The host was also very lovely and showed us everything at check-in and had a booklet with translated instructions for all appliances (no other place we stayed out had that and it took the guess work out of the stay).

“great stay, great views, even greater host”

mr katsura-san was exceptionally hospitable and a great host. we arrived late due to traffic jams but he was still super accommodating. throughout our stay, he would be readily available to help out with any questions or whatever things we needed. mr katsura-san changed the stay from decent to a "would definitely book again". the views from the balcony was awesome, weather dependent of course (fuji-san was fully visible 2/3 days of our stay). however, it should be noted that the view might be a little blocked by some trees, but there is a viewing platform nearby to use where views are fully unblocked.

“Homely, comfortable, clean and quiet location.”

Lovely accommodation with everything you need and more. There are heaters all throughout the home. Very cutely decorated and located near the shrine. Owners gave us a nice, quick tour of the home, with payment on arrival via card possible. Location is relatively good, quiet. Around 10-15minutes walk to the nearest convenience store and main area with a sightseeing bus stop just down the road.

“Great stay!”

Great place to stay to explore fujikawaguchiko. The property is spacious and well furnished

I had a wonderful stay here. The host is very friendly, helpful, and explains everything clearly. They really take care of the guests. The breakfast is delicious and freshly cooked by themselves. The whole place is clean and comfortable. I will definitely come back and stay here again! And the view is awesome !!!

We had a great time, the house has everything you need.

“Amazing place to stay!”

Very great view from the balcony and especially the cafe less than a minute away I believe the owners also own. You can see Mt Fuji behind the shrine next to the house. Food can be reserved for breakfast and dinner which is really nice as konbinis are about a 4-7 min drive away. It was overall a very great experience all around. Some other pluses being; great ventilation, air conditioning, heated mat upstairs.

Very nice host, lovely place right next to the Kawaguchi Shrine. You’ll love it here!

The whole experience was out of my expectation in a positive way. The place is immaculate, exactly the same as described. I can see that the host put a lot of effort in making the place a comfortable one for the guests. It has everything you need for a good rest. The host is responsive and flexible. I was late for my estimated check-in time and the host was completely cool about that. Communication was smooth, communicating in English was not a problem. I would recommend everyone who drives around the area choose the Villa Relax.

“Nice host. Great place to relax with family. Wii and bathtub were a hit for the kids”

“I love this place very much and also I will recommend my friends.”

Good atmosphere Good service Lovely owner Good Cost effectiveness

“Really enjoyable”

Great villa, great location.

“Definitely a value of money stay. You get ample of space, amenities, charm and zen! 😃”

It’s really spacious! We had the entire villa to ourselves and it was the biggest space we had over our course of our Japan trip :) there was also an outdoor deck where you get to chill and admire the city. The couple also owns a small cafe beside where you get to enjoy meals! It was really calming for us. And their place is close to Asama Shrine and you can hike about 30mins to the famous photo spot Tenku No Torii gate! The owner also offered to pick us up to and from the main train station:)

Had an amazing stay in the villa. The view was really nice, and the room and space were very comfortable. It is located in a nice area of Kawaguchi, where there aren't any crowded tourists, so we had a peaceful time. We also had a chance to view Mt. Fuji from the balcony. The owner is very kind, offering us pick up and send us back to the station too. He’s very fast to respond to any queries that we had.

“Comforting villa with friendly hosts nearby Mt. Fuji - high value for the price!”

Host offers breakfast delivered to villa, and owns a small cafe nextdoor where he and his wife make nice comfort japanese food and coffee!

“Wonderful stay”

Beautiful villa / private apartment and terrace (though it was raining and unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy it!) nice location, a bit tucked away and beside the large shrine. We only stayed one night but I wish it was longer!

“Great hosts and location.”

“Great place to stay”

Beautiful villa, spacious. Near quite an impressive shrine accompanied by huge trees. Staff was very helpful and friendly
