This brand-new hotel in Yamanakako Village, Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi Prefecture, was built by Solarizoto Co., Ltd., a specialist in trailer manufacturing and operations.

With affordable rates starting at 4 yen for a double room and 5,900 yen for a family room, it offers exceptional value at the foot of Mount Fuji.
