THE[]TIME FUJI

I was able to refresh myself very well with the wonderful space and sauna.

A hideaway-like rental villa nestled in the forest, the chic yet comfortable space was very pleasant. The sauna heated up well, allowing us to relax while enjoying the forest view during the outdoor air bath. The bath is home-sized. As it is unmanned, there are no particular services, but the pre-arrival email guidance was very clear, allowing us to enjoy a comfortable stay without any inconvenience. I would love to stay again next year!

"It felt like staying at a friend's vacation home."

There were several small unpleasant things, but I didn't bother to report them all. However, for the things I did mention, I received a polite response. Thank you. (But I thought it would have been nice if they had brought an unbroken teapot the next day.) It felt like borrowing a villa from someone I barely know, introduced through an acquaintance. The lack of thorough cleaning like in a hotel was unsettling. Therefore, I think it's best to use this place with the mindset that it's not a hotel and to experience the beauty of the location. At night, I encountered deer. The sunlight filtering through the trees was pleasant. The most unpleasant thing was the sofa cushions, which seemed to have accumulated the smell of previous guests' necks, emitting an odor of aging, and the sofa itself faintly smelled, making it uncomfortable to relax. It was very disappointing since I stayed for two nights. Additionally, there was a lot of dust on the ventilation fans, and the noise from various places was bothersome and hard to ignore. Since I heard there are vacancies for the upcoming Obon holiday, if you plan to rent it out as a hotel, I think it would be good to clean the areas that have been neglected so far. Please also consider repairing the bathroom floor! Perhaps the staff should spend a night there too? The refrigerator is quite noisy. I wanted to relax in the quiet of the night. The sofa was smelly, and I couldn't unwind. Also, it was inconvenient not having a rice paddle, as if it wasn't intended for Japanese guests or they wanted us to live a Western lifestyle. There was a whisk and a scale, but are they for baking cakes? The equipment was puzzling. Since you've built a hotel in such a wonderful location, I hope you continue to keep it clean and tidy.

It was a rare experience that is usually hard to come by. We were able to enjoy a sauna with the family.
