A Luxurious Way to Spend Your Time,
by the Shores of Lake Kawaguchi with Mt. Fuji in View.
With sweeping views of Mt. Fuji and Lake Kawaguchi right before you, "Lago" is a fully private, whole-villa retreat — a secluded hideaway designed purely for time spent with the people who matter most.
A natural hot spring and sauna, a home theater, activities on the lake, and the finest flavors of Yamanashi.
Here is a glimpse of the kind of unforgettable, luxurious stay that's only possible at Lago.
DAY 1
Play to Your Heart's Content on Lake Kawaguchi: A Lakeside Activity Experience
Before check-in, head to NaturaBase, just about a 7-minute drive away. Glide across the calm water by kayak or SUP, or feel the breeze on a cruise with Mt. Fuji in view. In winter, smelt fishing aboard a heated dome boat is a popular choice.
Experienced guides are on hand to support you throughout, so first-timers and families with children can join with confidence.
Activities You Can Experience
- On the lake: Kayaking, SUP, cruising
- Winter only: Smelt fishing (heated dome boat)
- For something more adventurous: Paragliding, horseback riding, buggy tours (nearby area)
*Activity times shown here are for illustration only, as actual timing varies by activity. If you're interested in paragliding, horseback riding, or buggy tours, please contact our staff in advance — we're happy to help arrange these with our partner operators.
Check In to Your Hideaway Villa, with Mt. Fuji in View
After working up an appetite on your activity, you'll arrive at the villa, welcomed by endless blue skies and the gentle breeze off Lake Kawaguchi.
The moment you step inside, the openness of the living room and the presence of Mt. Fuji through the windows will build your anticipation even further.
Settle into the sofa beneath the room's striking exposed wooden beams, and take a moment to unwind from your journey.
A Soak in Kawaguchiko Hot Spring Water, Then "Totonoi" in Your Private Sauna
After a day of activity by the lake, head to your villa's private bathroom.
Sink into the spacious hot spring bath, filled with genuine Kawaguchiko hot spring water, and let your body slowly warm through.
Next, step into your own private sauna — a space no one else can disturb, and one where guests with tattoos are just as welcome to relax. Surrounded by your favorite sauna aroma, work up a satisfying sweat, then cool off in the pool (cold enough in winter for a proper plunge). With no time limit and access available 24 hours a day, feel free to repeat this "totonoi" ritual — the deep sense of calm that follows alternating heat and cold — as many times as you like during your stay.
A Gourmet Dinner Celebrating the Best of Yamanashi
For dinner, enjoy a glamping BBQ featuring the finest flavors of Yamanashi — Koshu beef sirloin (one of Yamanashi's celebrated wagyu brands), meat aged for 14 days, and venison sausage. The dedicated BBQ area is fully covered, so you can dine comfortably regardless of the weather.
For a special occasion, consider arranging a private chef instead. A pairing of dishes made with authentic French technique by a chef devoted to local, seasonal ingredients, alongside a selection from 250 wines, promises an unforgettable evening.
Gather Around the Fire Pit as the Night Deepens
Once you're full and content after dinner, spend some quiet time around the fire pit on the terrace.
As night falls, the pool lights up, casting a dreamlike glow across the water.
Sharing the day's memories over a glass in hand is one of the simple luxuries of a stay at Lago. If you're not quite ready for the night to end, another round in the hot spring or sauna is always a good idea.
DAY 2
A Quiet Morning, Greeted by Mt. Fuji
Open the curtains, and Mt. Fuji will greet you wearing a different expression than the night before.
In the crisp morning air, you might slip back into the hot spring for another soak, or simply relax in the second-floor study, taking in the view of Mt. Fuji. Either way, a wonderfully indulgent day is just beginning.
A Breakfast Full of Yamanashi's Bounty, to Energize Your Second Day
Breakfast centers on teriyaki chicken hot dogs and carpaccio of Fuji-no-suke, a rare trout unique to Yamanashi, along with dessert bread and onion soup. Enjoying breakfast with Mt. Fuji in view is the kind of moment that stays with you long after your trip ends.
"Let's Come Back Again" — A Promise for Next Time
As enjoyable as your stay has been, it comes to an end before you know it. Still curious how that movie in the home theater ends, you'll leave the villa reluctantly.
"We should come back again soon" — with that thought in mind, continue your trip exploring the area around Lake Kawaguchi. Oshino Hakkai and the Kawaguchiko Ropeway are just some of the sights unique to the Fuji Five Lakes region worth adding to your itinerary.
