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.
