    The owner Yoshi welcomed us with open arms. We loved interacting with him and listen to his stories. We liked the wood stove, which can be used as an open fire. Plenty of wood to keep it going. The Corvette in the room made it very special. ...

    We could not ask for a better place to stay while we were visiting Mount Fuji. The shed itself is a masterpiece and it is in a beautiful and quite area. Of course the '64 Shelby with no. 75 in the living room / garage is an absolute plus to the...

    今回は、大雪が降りとっても幻想的な白銀の世界を体験できた。 野生の鹿三頭🦌もコテージの柵の外からこちらを見ていました。 なので外でのバーベキューは出来ませんでしたが、ダイニングでの焼肉を楽しみました♪ 他の部屋はもちろんお風呂も床暖房が入っていたので快適でした。

    La casa es una verdadera joya. Está en un pueblecito muy pintoresco y alejada del bullicio de Japón. Es una casa para relajarte y disfrutar. Además está cerca de los lugares más emblemáticos para visitar en los alrededores de Fuji y cerca de los...

    初めてのコテージ利用で、ドキドキでしたが オーナーの方がとても親切にしてくれて、アットホームな 対応をしてくれたのがすごく良かったです。安心して 滞在できました。アメニティはもちろんのこと、お皿やグラス、調味料まで揃っていて、次回は是非バーベキューもしたいなと思いました。台風が近づいていて天候が悪かったのもあり、近くのバス停まで送ってくださりました。優しさに触れ、観光で来ましたが、地元を思い出すような優しい気持ちになりました。

Embrace the essence of home and living in this private cottage, cradled by the majestic Mount Fuji. This isn't just an old building; it's a true vintage, matured like a fine wine – authentic, not artificial. Designed by architect Yoshitomo Makita, who brought us spaces like PAPER MOON in Yamanakako, these two wooden cottages create an unforgettable, out-of-the-ordinary experience. The 242-square-meter "Corvette" is a car enthusiast's dream, featuring a permanent 1964 Corvette C2 Stingray in its garage house. For a more rustic feel, the 95-square-meter, single-story "Montana" boasts charming terracotta tiles and exposed truss beams. Immerse yourself in the seasonal splendor at the base of Mount Fuji and Lake Yamanaka. From spring's blossoming wildflowers to summer's clear blue skies, autumn's fiery leaves and golden pampas grass, and winter's crisp air, every moment is a delight. Slow down and unwind in this exquisite setting. Spend your days reading, enjoying a BBQ, walking along the lake, and gazing at the stars. "GARDEN SHED" is ready to welcome you.
Thanks for your interest in GARDEN SHED! My own journey to Lake Yamanaka began when I first stayed here as a guest. That very experience inspired me to move to Lake Yamanaka, and now I'm thrilled to be the one continuing the legacy of GARDEN SHED. This place has had a profound impact on my life, and I can't wait to welcome you and share it with you.
Beyond GARDEN SHED, you'll discover a wealth of delicious dining options in the nearby areas of Oshino, Fujiyoshida, Kawaguchiko, and Gotemba, all just a short drive from Lake Yamanaka. We have plenty of recommendations, so please don't hesitate to ask us for suggestions! For relaxation, a wonderful hot spring facility is only about a five-minute drive from GARDEN SHED. It's the perfect way to unwind after a stroll along the lake or a day of sports.
