The Appeal of COCO VILLA Kofu Chiyoda-ko
1. A Location Where Lakeside Tranquility Meets Activity
The property sits right on the shore of Lake Chiyoda, surrounded by water and forest.
Guests are wrapped in the ripples the wind traces across the lake's surface and the sound of birdsong, for a deep sense of calm.
Lake Chiyoda is also known as a spot for crucian carp and largemouth bass fishing, so guests can head out for serious fishing right from the property.
2. A Private Sauna Built Into the Garage
The garage has been renovated with a sauna, cold-water bath, and relaxation space.
Looking out through the opening at the calm surface of Lake Chiyoda invites a luxurious sense of releasing both body and mind.
Because the private space lets guests spend their time without worrying about weather or the gaze of others, they can enjoy a deep sense of relaxation at their own pace.
3. BBQ and a Bonfire for Group Stays
The property is equipped with a spacious BBQ area and a bonfire space, making it possible for large groups to gather.
Guests can enjoy meals in the soft, filtered sunlight during the day, then spend the evening in deep conversation around a flickering fire.

About COCO VILLA
COCO VILLA is a series of fully unmanned, whole-building rental accommodations that make the most of the character of each location — from the sea, mountains, lakes, and rivers to popular tourist areas. Some properties sit in quiet, nature-filled surroundings, while others offer lake or ocean views, or convenient access to sightseeing spots, each with its own distinct character. What every property shares is a space designed around its local environment and a private sauna. Guests can enjoy their stay at their own pace in a whole-building rental where no one else is around.
COCO VILLA currently operates multiple locations centered in the Kanto, Tokai, and Koshinetsu areas, and plans to continue expanding with villas suited to a variety of locations nationwide.
About COCO VILLA Owners
COCO VILLA Owners is a system that allows people to own a vacation villa at an accessible price while also earning income from it as an asset (patent pending).
Owners can use the villa themselves for up to 120 nights a year (*1). On days they don't use it, the villa is operated as a rental, with the resulting income applied to running costs and any surplus distributed to the owners.
Stays are booked using COCO VILLA Owners' own "COCO VILLA Points," which can be used not only at the villa an owner holds a share in, but also at other COCO VILLA properties nationwide that they don't own.
Because owners hold actual ownership, they can also sell their share (*2), pass it on through inheritance, and benefit from tax savings through depreciation.
*1 The maximum number of nights all owners combined can stay at one property (up to 120 nights a year for properties operating under Japan's Hotel Business Act, or up to 180 nights a year for properties operating under the minpaku private-lodging law).
*2 There is a 2-year minimum holding period, after which the company handles resale on the owner's behalf.
