Vacation rentals with lake access in Honshu

Thank you for having us in your lovely house. It’s a very cosy place with everything you need. The hosts are very helpful we hope to stay again.

Generally. We have a great stay here. If you wish to experience the vibe house of Japanese style (for foreigners like me) with breathtaking view of Mount Fuji (yeah they are not scam - their unit Is exactly giving spectacular Mt Fujisan!) - then in summary this unit a must place to book 😍

It's a traditional Japanese house. It is very well decorated and can easily accommodate 4 guests. When the weather is nice, there is a nice view of Mount Fuji from the house. It's 2 minutes from a beautiful temple. Namely that the house is about 5km from kawaguchiko station, so I would recommend renting a car to be self-sufficient and strolling around Mount Fuji without taking the buses (easy to park): I would 100% recommend this place.

What a pleasure to stay in a house after 10 days of Japanese small hotel rooms! 1.      The general atmosphere is warm, peaceful, comfortable and lovely. A lot of interesting objects and decoration. 2.      Real kitchen with all the necessary utensils and lovely Japanese dishes 3.      Good bed 4.      Music room with a vinyl player, classical vynils and art books. 5.      Coffee machine that makes the best coffee we drank in Japan. 6.      Mosquito nets on the windows. 7.      Birds singing outside. 8.      Walking distance of a family mart superette with all the necessary 9.      The owners took us from the station to the house and back on departure. We used the bus from Okayama, quite easily. 10. Electric bicycles are available 11. Distance from the house to Uno port (ferry to the islands) : 20 minutes cycling (easy, apart from the last slope to the house). At Uno port, direct ferry to Naoshima (20 min) and to Teshima (30 min). We wish to find other places like that !

We had a perfect stay here. The house was very comfortable and had everything you would need. This was the first listing I think I could actually live. We visited 3 nights with my wife and 1,5 year old daughter. Plenty to do in the area, either closeby or an hour driving away. The host was super kind, very quick to respond on any questions we had and gave tips during our stay. Absolutely recommend this place.

Beautiful home next to Lake Biwa. Its a refreshing break from the city and the neighbors are all very nice. The house was very clean and spacious, the host was always responsive and helpful, even gave me a ride when I left back to the train station so I didn't have to walk with all my luggage. Only downside would be the steep stairs, so if you have balance issues maybe sleep in the room downstairs. Overall very nice place and my 2 weeks went by too quickly here. Will definitely rebook next time I'm in Kyoto/Osaka area.

This place was absolutely amazing. Super spacious, comfortable, and just a short walk from the train station. The views were phenomenal, and taking the bike around the community was a highlight. Just be ready for a few hills (you’ll feel in shape after!). The beach is right in front of the property, and the night views are unreal. There are some awesome local food spots and cozy cafes nearby. The host and her family were incredibly kind and welcoming, and their home is beautiful. I’m already looking forward to planning another trip here. I’d absolutely recommend staying if you get the chance.

The view was unbeatable! Our family of 5 did well with sleeping and cooking here. The only downside is the lack of hand towels and drying rack.

Yui was very helping even before we arrived by providing tips on the surrounding train stations for easy travels. She was thoughtful to provide a stroller since we had kids in tow. She even welcomed us with a snack that was delicious. Her place was surrounded by places to eat and shop. Never had any issues of finding something to explore or do. After a long day of exploring, it was nice to rest in her home. It was spacious and away from all the street noise. If I ever had a question, she would be quick to respond. I would definitely book with her again knowing she’s a great host.

The room was exactly as described, the host super nice and flexible. The room is above a really nice bar, and surprisingly there is no noise at all! However, the room is pretty far from the center, around 45 mins from Shinjuku. So it depends on what you're looking for!

Just as the pictures show, a very nice place for traveling couple like us! The place is clean, and location is convenient with a metro station and a convenience store. Coin laundry at 1st floor is helpful too.

Except that you have to walk a bit to Chiyo house (around 10+ minutes, which is actually a good exercise for us), everything is perfect as described. She is definitely a superhost

This place is like your very caring family member set up everything you need for your stay- comfortable and well equipped. The owner Kobayashi san is very responsive and communication was always prompt. I’d definitely come back again next time. Thank you.

Amazing place, right in the heart of Dotonbori, close to trains, restaurants, markets. Super nice and friendly host

My family of four stayed together.The room was also clean and comfortable.There was a supermarket in front of me, and there were many other restaurants, so I had no trouble eating.It is in front of the station, but it is also a little down an alley, so it was nice and not noisy.I would definitely use it again!

After the noise and chaos of central Tokyo, it was great to unwind in Saitama. The accomodation was perfect for solo travel, and had everything that was needed (I would like to highlight the excellent laundromat nearby). The host communicated perfectly and quickly, and was very accommodating to my panicked questions. Wonderful experience altogether.

I was very satisfied.

Lovely stay at Yoshi’s place. Very close to the lake. The house is clean and indoor facilities are designed well.

I stayed with my family and one dog.There were also amenities for dogs, and our dog was able to relax with us.Also, they prepared a bed on the first floor, so even in an unfamiliar environment, my dog was able to stay with peace of mind. The surrounding environment was just right for a walk, and it felt good to walk in the morning. Thank you for your many considerations.

Thank you for a great stay. I will definitely come again!

Our family of 8 spent a very unforgettable day in this very Japanese and innovative house... we were deeply attracted to the house as soon as we entered... we arrived a little late... but the owner still received us very warmly... and reminded us to be careful on the way... because it snowed at Yamanakako that day... our family's first experience with snow was here... we were really mesmerized by the beautiful snowy scenery... although we couldn't see Mt. Fuji, we still got a veryBeautiful snowy scenery... all the internet-famous check-in spots near Lake Yamanakako are very close... but this time we didn't have the chance to see the beautiful Mt. Fuji... I hope to have the chance to come to this house again in the future... and then enjoy the different scenery of Mt. Fuji... I highly recommend everyone to stay in this cozy and comfortable homestay... there will be a next time only if there is regret...

We booked for only 1 night at first, but enjoyed the place so much we had to extend for another night! The place is just like as described. Because the furniture, kitchenware and amenities are from Muji, it made everything 100 times cooler. Peaceful and beautiful nature surrounding the house. We absolutely enjoyed the campfire on the patio!

A total of 7 people with parents and children in GW. I chose a private lodging with more freedom than a hotel. The location passed through satisfaction and was washed in front of Mt. Fuji. On the second day, I went fishing for Wakasagi, and everyone on the boat came to get wakasagi at Bowes. I also had a meal, so I thought I'd give it to the host next door, but they fried it and let me eat it. It was crowded at night, so I suddenly thought about BBQing. We asked for an urgent response, but we immediately had a grill and charcoal and enjoyed the BBQ deliciously. I stayed for 2 nights and 3 days, but I enjoyed it. Thank you very much. Sorry to bother you again.

This is a private rental house along Lake Biwa. You can also go down to the sandy beach directly from the terrace. We were able to BBQ on the terrace, the view was very clean, and the surroundings were quiet. The kitchen is also fully equipped with basic cooking utensils and dishes. There is also a large sofa in the living room, so we had a very comfortable stay.
