Oshino – Villur

Angela Bandaríkin

We had a fantastic stay at this huge, traditional Japanese home in Oshino. The house can easily hold 10+ people comfortably, so we had more than enough space for our group of four (one couple took upstairs and the other downstairs). And the traditional style (tatami mats, sliding doors, floor futons, floor tables with heaters (katatsu), and Japanese artwork and decorations) made us feel we were having a true authentic experience. But the biggest highlight was the impressive view of Mt. Fuji from both floors on a clear day. It was so nice to open the side doors and enjoy the view in the fresh air from the comfort of home. In addition to these major points, the house was also equipped with other amenities that made our stay enjoyable (plenty of electrical outlets to plug in your devices; a well-stocked kitchen with an abundances of dishes, cooking utensils and seating; plenty of bathroom space, with three toilets, two urinals, and two shower rooms with tubs; and heaters in every room to keep warm on those chilly Spring nights). The house is run by a local family and we couldn't have asked for better hosts. They gave us a thorough tour of the house when we arrived, left lots of snacks for us in the kitchen (including beer, soft drinks, and fruit), and offered multiple times to drive us around the area to see the sites. It was actually very convenient to have that offer since we traveled there without a car and they helped us get to the train and bus stations. They also offered to call restaurants and the taxi service to make reservations since we don't speak much Japanese. Overall, they made us feel like family during our stay. The area where the house is located is a gem. It's bustling with tourists and food stalls during the day, but super quiet at night, as most tourists spend the night elsewhere.

Located in a forest, facing Mount Fuji. A car is needed because the house is remote. We were a family of five, everything about the house was excellent. The view, it was spotless clean, the kitchen well equipped for cooking, comfortable beds. Very spacious. We loved it and would highly recommend.

The host Allen was super responsive with communication, thoughtful and welcoming. There is a team to welcome and support too, they are very professional and helpful. Everything about the stay experience was exceptional and exceeded our expectations. If only we stayed for more days. I don't normally leave reviews but this one is a gem! Highly recommended

Everything! Clean, spacious, modern and tastefully decorated, well equipped kitchen, modern appliances with QR code instruction videos. Awesome view of the mountains. Mt Fuji not directly visible from the property, but comes into view after a short walk down the road. The area is quiet and peaceful. Within walking distance of local Supermarket. Allen, our host was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Gave us a ride to the supermarket after our late arrival and recommended some activities for us to do during our stay. Allen also offers half and full day tours in the area. It rained the first day we were there, but we were fortunate on the day we left to have clear blue skies. Allen took us on a half day tour to show us amazing views of Mt Fuji.
