GEN

PRESERVE Selected

A single villa, one group a night, set into the Fujigane highland with Mount Fuji framed floor-to-ceiling through its glass walls. GEN is built around the sauna ritual — an authentic wood-fired room, an outdoor cold bath and a hot-spring soak, a fire-pit terrace open to the night — wrapped by a private garden and a dinner of grilled local fare, all of it yours alone. Nothing is shared: the point is to have the mountain, and the silence, entirely to yourself.

Booked whole, never shared — the sauna-and-Fuji hideaway our groups slip away to after a round, a short drive from the Fuji Classic course on the mountain's quiet western side.
