Overview
Kawaguchiko Country Cottage Ban & Glamping Resort is a cottage and glamping resort on a 6,000-tsubo site (about 20,000 sq m) near the shore of Lake Kawaguchi. Mount Fuji can be seen from many of the buildings, and the accommodation is varied: rooms that pair a Japanese-style tatami room with beds, villas with a sauna and an open-air bath, and large cottages for up to 30 guests. Every building has its own private BBQ space, so families and friends can enjoy an easygoing meal outdoors.
Kawaguchiko Country Cottage Ban & Glamping Resort spreads across a 6,000-tsubo site (about 20,000 sq m) roughly a 10-minute walk from the shore of Lake Kawaguchi.
