Vacation rentals in Toyooka, Shimoina District

A rural retreat, off the tourist path, but easily accessible by train from Tokyo. We were keen for some rural Japan after quite a few stops in urban centres. The house is in a quiet, unspoilt setting. You can do short walks from the house that can include views of Mount Fuji down the valley. There's other places you can pop into too, such as the Owl Cafe or the wonderful deli/shop at the petrol station up the road. The house itself has kept its rustic and traditional appearance and features, while also having very functional equipment, from Wifi to everything you'd need for cooking. Some great places to read and relax in, from the garden to by the wood burner. We did not have car which was fine - it's just 6 minutes by taxi from the station, but a car would allow you to explore further afield. Ryo the host was very helpful with answering questions rapidly and clearly. I would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Jiro's House. The host was friendly and helpful. They made us feel very welcome and were responsive to any queries we had. We enjoyed having the garden as it is a lovely and peaceful area. The house amenities were plentiful and it was a comfortable stay. Thank you for a amazing stay 😊

At first glance, the house looks dated. It is a traditional, rural Japanese home that reminds me of my grandparents' house. While the furnishing and facilities are slightly old, it is still a comfortable house nonetheless. The toilet is modern and new so that is a plus. The house is also conveniently located along the main road with a couple of food options like KFC, Sukiya and Family Mart within walking distance.

It was still cold in early April, but I was able to use the wood stove and the floor heating was well equipped, so I had a really warm and comfortable stay.The firewood was also prepared and the instructions were accurate, so even beginners would like to try it out.I was able to experience firewood for my first time, and my children were happy.　　　　　　　　　　　　　It wasn't blooming yet, but there is a large cherry tree in the garden.I think it will be a great location again if it blooms around GW. There are also many small birds such as Yamagara.During my stay, squirrels and woodpeckers also came to the trees in front of me to entertain me.You can enjoy the stars at night if it is sunny.There is no electricity around, so you can see the stars well anyway! My husband brought a guitar, so I was playing in the living room, but the distance from the next house is also moderate, so there will be no other inconvenience.It was not that the house was built, but there were several houses with a view of the light nearby, and I felt safe at night. Everything you need to stay is provided.I didn't have any trouble.All you have to do is bring your pajamas and makeup tools.If you drive about 6 minutes by car, you will find "Tatesina Freedom Farm", so there are almost all ingredients.There is also a rice cooker, microwave, oven toaster, bread baking machine, electric pressure cooking pot, etc., and it is also recommended for those who want to cook with elaborate hands.Anyway, it is a very comfortable space, and I feel like I have experienced the life of my dream villa.We'd love to come back at a different time.Thank you for a really good time.✨

Yuki’s place is such a great place to stay in! The view is superb when the weather is nice, Mount Fuji can be seen so clearly just from the master bedroom window and garden! I was lucky enough to enjoy an afternoon with a nice view, without having to fight for a photo spot in the crowd in all the tourist spots. Despite the view, the property itself is also great and spacious. The kitchen is well equipped, and I was surprised by the coffee bean and breakfast ingredients prepared by Yuki! The bathroom was nice with a bathtub, and the yuzu shampoo and body wash smell very soothing, we really like it. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who would like to enjoy some tranquility with the view of Mount Fuji!

The hospitality of the owner 覚広さん is great! There is a cleaning and trash pick up service done by the owner. Additionally, since we stayed during the winter, the gas-powered heating machines were a life-saver. Finally, we were very happy that there is a pot in which we were able to easily prepare food for our big group.

The open-air bath was the best.The room was spacious and the heater was great.

It was perfect, we wanted to stay longer 🤩 We'll be happy to come back next time if possible. The view of Fuji as you stroll on the bridge is beautiful!!!
