Fujigane Sauna Log House
2025 full renovation. Private sauna. Vermont Castings stove. Fuji forest zone.
Fully renovated 1995 log house in Fujigane — 30 minutes from Kawaguchiko, deep in the Mt. Fuji western forest zone. 2025 April renovation replaced everything: kitchen, bathroom, toilet, double-glazing, exterior cladding, and roof. The octagonal vaulted LDK with Vermont Castings wood-burning stove and private sauna are rare amenities that command premium nightly rates in this market — amenities most Fuji-area STRs cannot replicate. 425㎡ forested lot provides complete privacy. Annual HOA contribution ¥133,500 (management ¥3,600 + reserve fund ¥119,900 + sinking fund ¥10,000). Fuji Five Lakes area recorded 49.8% average occupancy and $241 ADR in 2025 (AirROI data, 471 active listings). At ¥29.8M with renovation complete, this is the most immediate STR-ready entry in the current dataset.
