Mt.Fuji view/2min walk Lake Saiko/private cottage/BBQ/5min drive Kawaguchi Lake



About 90 minutes by car from central Tokyo and situated at an altitude of 900 meters, Lake Saiko is one of the Fuji Five Lakes, renowned for its serenity and natural beauty. Saiko remains largely undeveloped, with much of its pristine nature still intact. Strolling along the lakeshore, you can enjoy breathtaking scenery-a striking contrast of Mt. Fuji, the lush green Aokigahara Forest, and the cobalt blue lake surface. This stunning landscape often appears quietly in domestic and international advertisements, seen by many without them realizing it.

Wildlife such as deer and Japanese serow occasionally appear nearby, offering encounters with nature just a short distance from the city. Saiko is also famous as the site where the kunimasu trout, once thought extinct, was rediscovered, leading to efforts to protect its rich ecosystem. To protect the environment, motorboats are not allowed, so there is no noise or waves from them. This makes Saiko ideal for fishing, as well as for enjoying kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding on the mirror-like lake surface. With a circumference of about 10 km, the lake is also popular for walking, jogging, and cycling.



Weekend House Saiko offers cottages (A to E on a 3,500㎡ site, G and F on a 4,000㎡ site), each over 100㎡, providing spacious and tranquil environments that can be rented as entire units. Each cottage is equipped with a wood-burning stove, floor heating, and a fully stocked kitchen, allowing guests to enjoy local ingredients while cooking for themselves. On your private deck, you can relax in a hammock or enjoy a BBQ while taking in views of the forest or lakeshore. Mornings bring the sound of birdsong with your coffee, and at night, you can marvel at a sky full of stars. Escape the city’s hustle and bustle, digitally detox, and restore your mind and body in this rich natural setting.



At Saiko Iyashi-no-Sato Nenba, you can experience a restored village of thatched-roof houses set against the foothills of Mt. Fuji, with cherry blossoms adding to the scenery in spring. Other dynamic natural attractions include the Narusawa Ice Cave, Fugaku Wind Cave, and the Aokigahara Forest, all formed by ancient lava flows. Lake Kawaguchi is just a five-minute drive away, while the famous Arakurayama Sengen Park (where you can photograph Mt. Fuji and a five-story pagoda together) and the popular Nishiura Street are about 30 minutes by car. Using tranquil Saiko as your base, you can enjoy a variety of popular spots in the region.

Great stay

The house is beautifull located at lake Saiko. We went kayaking, touring with the bike and with a quad. A lovely stay in nature. The owners were very kind and a lovely surprise for my birthday. I can recommend staying there. Lisette
