Description
Step into a Taishō-era time slip at this 100-year-old farmhouse near Lake Kawaguchiko! with slight hints of inspiration by Demon Slayer, it features tatami rooms, a mosaic tile shower, vintage icebox fridge, and record player with vinyls. Free bikes make exploring easy, and the private backyard is perfect for relaxing. Tradition, comfort, and a dash of anime magic — all in the shadow of Mt. Fuji. •Kawaguchiko Lake- 9 min 👣 •Supermarket- 20 min 👣 •7/11 - 1 min 👣 The space Entrance Soft light through paper and glass — a gentle welcome home. The noren sways in the evening air, whispering stories of another time. Old stones mark the path; a wagon wheel rests in the glow — still, timeless, and familiar. Garden & Water In the garden, water trickles through bamboo. The rhythm is slow and grounding — a breath between the trees. Every sound, every shadow, reminds you to move at the pace of nature. Interior Warmth Inside, light softens across dark beams and tatami. The scent of cedar and lacquer drifts through the rooms — a harmony of stillness and warmth. Here, materials speak quietly: wood, clay, glass, and paper. Kitchen Tiles in soft green shimmer under brass light. A retro mint fridge hums gently — an old soul with modern simplicity. Each object is chosen, not added — balance in every detail. Dining At the old wooden table, tea steams from a kettle set in stone. Conversation comes slow and easy, or not at all. Even silence feels like company here. Living Room Dark wood, a green courdaroy sofa, the faint crackle of vinyl. Music hums through vintage speakers — soft, human, imperfect. The rhythm of old Japan meeting mid-century calm. Study & Clock Corner A quiet clock ticks against patterned wallpaper. Time doesn’t rush; it breathes. The house remembers — and so do you. Upstairs Retreat Rattan, linen, and light. A place for reflection — for slow mornings, soft nights, and the quiet weight of rest. Every texture, from the woven mat to the aged beam, holds warmth. Stairwell The stairs creak softly, worn by a hundred stories. Warm light, dark wood — the feeling of moving through memory. A space between eras. Details An old icebox, a playful fox mask — humor tucked inside history. Each corner holds a whisper of life once lived and still unfolding. Evening Glow From outside, the home glows through frosted glass — a lantern in the quiet of the mountain night. The world slows. The air cools. Inside, only warmth remains. Guest access the entire home is free for you to use excluding two closets that we use to keep cleaning supplies in, as for the back yard it's a clear tree line that marks the area . Other things to note ***due to the nature of a house of this age please understand that the ceilings are low, some parts of the house may feel small for larger people, also please be very careful on the stairs as they are original to the house they are quite steep (please use handrail) it may not be the most comfortable place for people with mobility issues. ***please understand that it may be a bit cold during winter months - of course we provide heaters to make it as comfortable as possible but the house is over 100 years old ! it is not recommended for very sensitive people*** Registration Details Hotels and Inns Business Act | 山梨県 | 山梨県指令 富東福第5195号
