Family-friendly holiday rentals in Shizuoka

Haruo’s place is in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood with easy access to highways and attractions nearby Yamanashi! The traditional Japanese house with beautiful backyard (with views of the mt Fuji when weather allows) is all you need for a great getaway! Haruo is very friendly and greeted us on arrival and gave us nearby recommendations for places to see and eat! We would definitely be back whenever we visit yamanashi again!

This stay is absolutely perfect. A perfect, beautiful home that’s a literal skip away from the Mt Fuji Welcome Area. The home was perfect and as described and our host was amazing at what he does. He came and picked us up from Fujikawa station and then drove us back when it was time to leave. Please let him come get you if he offers, you’ll need it! He then provided us a tour of the home, perfectly explained all amenities and how to properly use them. Please respect the home, it is very old and he worked very hard on it. We will be booking this home every time we visit Mt. Fuji in the future!

My husband and I had 3 great nights at Hill Top house. It was certainly dramatic excentuated by our arrival in the dark on the first night and waking in the morning to glorious sunshine and stunning views out to the Pacific, not to mention the monkey troop walking along the tree line behind the house. The house is as described and is a modernist gem. We would not hesitate to stay again. We only wished we had booked it for longer.

definitely recommend this property. it is home away from home. serene, peaceful and comfortable

I live nearby.My son and his wife came with a baby. On the day of fireworks, accommodation costs for nearby ryokans are soaring, but this time, it was a weekday price even on holidays, and it felt like a great deal. Originally, when I booked by mistake for a month, they responded by rescheduling, and they were willing to handle forgotten items, and communication was very smooth.Thank you very much.

The weather was forecast, but it was sunny and we had a relaxing time. There was also a barbecue while overlooking Hatsushima.We enjoyed our stay as per the information in advance. Thank you!

The sauna, water bath, and natural hot spring were all pleasant to use!The description of the facility was also easy to understand, and we had a comfortable stay.

We very much enjoyed our stay here ! The house is very large with 4 bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, bath tubs both indoors and outdoors and everything you need for a fantastic holiday. It is located in a peaceful forest area away from the crowds. If you have a dog, there are also plenty of facilities for your pet. Very easy to get from the house to Lake Kawaguchi and Chureito Pegoda, the 7 seas of Oshino, many temples, gardens, museums and also the F1 racetrack. If you have a car, this home is a perfect base to get everywhere. We really felt at home and enjoyed that everyone had their own bedroom with comfortable beds.

It was a very comfortable trip. The interior is also beautiful, and you can sleep in the tent. Children are very busy.The small house and slide in the garden were also playing happily. The location was also great because it was a convenience store and a supermarket around! The BBQ set was also easy to use.

We had an amazing time during our 3 day weekend ! Place was exactly as per the pictures and we had the feeling of being in another country ! Beach really close by (walkable distance but with hill to get back to the house), convenient store and grocery shopping near by if you have a car. Would happily come back for holidays !

Michael has a wonderful house, it is very beautiful and you can find a lot of cute details in the house. Michael is also a great host, very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Aya was very detailed about the entire process and also swift to respond to any questions we had. Recommend!

We stayed in this lovely home just outside of town, nestled in nature, for one month and felt right at home. Abhi is a most generous and considerate host, he helped us out from start to finish and made sure we had the best time in the Shimoda area. You do not need a car if staying here as the beach and a couple of restaurants are only about a 10 min walk from the house and convenience store about 20 minutes and a couple more good restaurants / bars about 35 minutes. But if you want to visit more sites in the area or go to the grocery store we'd recommend a car. The main reason we were visiting the area was to dive with the huge schools of Hammerhead sharks just off the coast here. Without a car the dive center can pick you up. We highly recommend Abhi's place. good wifi good AC big TV well equipped kitchen washing machine

When I asked questions in the message, they responded kindly and quickly.　 I was able to stay with children with peace of mind.

I travelled to Izu Atami Ocean view house during Golden Week 2025 along with my wife. Our host Airi san was extremely friendly and responsive and was very gracious to allow our pet dog to stay with us. We travelled by car to the location and thanks to Airi san, we had clear instructions and directions to reach the location. We requested an early check-in and Airi san managed to give us that which was very helpful. About the house- it is a beautiful property with a breath taking view of the ocean and surrounded by peaceful green hilly area. The house was equipped with all modern amenities and we had a very comfortable stay overall. We will definitely return soon for a longer stay!!! Thank you Airi san!

They responded quickly despite the sudden stay on the day. Communication and accommodations were excellent

It was good as described.They were very responsive to issues.

It was a very beautiful place, with a large TV, and I had a very pleasant time.Thank you very much.

In the middle of nature, I enjoyed plenty of meals on the terrace while watching the flowers in the garden.It felt open and private at the same time, and it was a special getaway with a hot spring and a great view to ourselves.There is a polite guide in the house, so I didn't get lost in how to use the facilities, and I felt the host's hospitality everywhere, such as decoration and clean bedding. I will stay there again. Thank you!

We had a great stay. Hosts were very helpful with recommendations and getting us cabs into town. The beach was perfect for our 3 kids and a very close walk from the house. They had lots of boogie boards and surf boards available to rent. The Kitchen was well equipped and we loved they had multiple refrigerators since the space used to be a restaurant. The bedrooms were very good size for multiple people. Air conditioning worked great in the bedrooms and living room. We loved the huge deck for relaxing! Laundry was a bit difficult as there is no dryer. Places to hang dry your clothes were available. One down side to the house is there is no bathroom upstairs, and all the bedrooms were up stairs. I would Deffinetly recommend this great beach house! Thanks guys for a great time.

8 years on, we returned to stay in this magnificent place. how far its come in 8 years, there is a whole amazingly curated experience now for the guests (no spoilers), interior has changed, garden, Bon fire, in floor Japanese fire pit for cooking. we went to the local grocer and bought everything to make yakitori. What an amazing time again.

A great stay, the house was perfect and had everything I needed, the host was super helpful and responsive, the location was great near the station, I'd be happy to go back!

6 adults and 3 children stayed for 1 night. We went to the field to pick the vegetables we would use for the evening BBQ. The kids had fun putting okra in baskets and getting umbrellas with leaves like Totoro had! There was water nearby, and we watched the dragonflies. It looked like you could enjoy looking for creatures and playing in the water. Most importantly, the organic rice grown here was delicious✨, and both adults and children ate their fill of rice!! When my children are a little older, I'd love to come during the autumn harvest season and the rice planting season. At night, there were few street lights, so it was very dark, and the stars and fireworks were very beautiful. There was no⭐️ air conditioning, only a fan, so it was hard at first (mid-August), but I sweated a lot, and I felt the comfort of the breeze and cold water, and the taste of beer, and I thought this might be the best part of the countryside experience. The host was a very nice person, and when we called out to him, he taught us a lot of things, brought us rice and vegetables, doted on the children like they were his grandchildren, and watched over us from a good distance!

Host was very friendly and accommodating. The place was absolutely beautiful with the river next to it. Would stay here again
