Sun & Moon Club

Overview of Sun & Moon Club

Sun & Moon Club is a small, 3-star mountain property set in the Chubu region of Japan, in the Minamikoma district of Yamanashi Prefecture, close to the town of Minobu. According to Traveloka's own listing data, the property sits in the mountains just a short drive from Lake Tanuki, placing it firmly in the quiet, forested foothills that ring the northern approach to Mount Fuji rather than in a built-up resort strip. This is a genuinely small-scale stay: the property lists only two guest rooms in total, which puts Sun & Moon Club closer in spirit to a private mountain lodge or owner-run guesthouse than to a conventional multi-storey hotel. Traveloka's listing does not disclose a specific opening or renovation year, nor a documented brand history, so rather than guess at either, this overview leans on what is verifiable: a compact, owner-scaled property in a genuinely scenic, low-density mountain setting near one of the region's better-known lakes. Guest feedback captured on the listing describes a "relaxing" atmosphere and a "welcoming owner," which is consistent with a small, personally run property of this size.

Because the room count is so limited, Sun & Moon Club tends to suit travelers who want a quiet base for exploring the Lake Tanuki and Shiraito Falls area rather than a large-scale hotel experience with extensive on-site facilities. Its 3-star rating on Traveloka reflects a simple, functional standard of accommodation rather than a luxury tier, which matches the facility list on file (parking, WiFi, a small onsite spa/massage service, and outdoor spaces) rather than an extensive resort-style amenity roster.

Room Types at Sun & Moon Club

Standard Air-Conditioned Room

Traveloka's listing data confirms that Sun & Moon Club operates with only two rooms in total, and the property-level room information describes a single consistent room style rather than a published multi-tier room ladder (no "Deluxe," "Superior," or "Suite" naming convention is listed). Because there is no confirmed tier breakdown beyond this, it would be misleading to invent room-tier names — travelers should treat the property as offering one standard room type and check the live booking page for the specific room being offered on their chosen dates.

Per Traveloka's room information field, rooms are air-conditioned and include a refrigerator. Bathrooms are stocked with complimentary toiletries and a hair dryer, and in-room conveniences include an electric kettle and blackout drapes or curtains. Traveloka's description also references cypress-style bathing as part of the property's character, though exact in-room bath configurations should be confirmed on the listing at the time of booking, since Traveloka's structured unit feed does not itemize this room-by-room. Given the very small inventory, availability at Sun & Moon Club can be limited, so guests with fixed travel dates should check early.

Facilities and Amenities at Sun & Moon Club

Traveloka's listing records a compact but useful facility set for a property of this size. On the practical side, Sun & Moon Club offers onsite parking, though it is specifically flagged as limited, so guests arriving by car should plan for the possibility of a tight number of spaces. Free WiFi is listed as a standing amenity throughout the property, and multilingual staff are noted as being available, which is a useful detail for international travelers booking through Traveloka.

For downtime, the property lists a garden and a terrace, along with a fireplace in the lobby — a nice fit for a mountain property that can get cool outside of summer. Barbecue grills are also listed as a facility, suggesting the outdoor space is set up for guests to cook and eat outside during warmer months. Sun & Moon Club additionally lists onsite spa or massage services, giving guests a way to unwind after a day exploring the surrounding falls and lake trails, and there is a shared microwave available for guest use in a common area. A meeting room is listed among the facilities as well, and a smoking area is designated separately from the main guest spaces. On dining, Traveloka's listing confirms an onsite restaurant, described in guest feedback as offering a simple breakfast; travelers wanting more variety may want to supplement with the wider dining options noted below.

Location and Getting There

Sun & Moon Club's address is registered on Traveloka as 2271 Inokashira, Yamanashi, Minamikoma, Chubu, Japan, 418-0108, placing it in the Minamikoma district that borders the town of Minobu, a mountainous area of Yamanashi Prefecture known for temples, forest trails, and lake scenery rather than dense urban development. Per the listing's distance data, Lake Tanuki is only around 0.6 km (0.4 mi) away — close enough to reach on foot or in a very short drive — while Jinba Falls is roughly 3.8 km (2.4 mi) from the property. Shiraito Falls, one of the better-known waterfalls in the wider region, sits about 5 km (3.1 mi) away, and the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park boundary is listed at around 4.3 km (2.7 mi).

Mount Fuji itself is recorded at approximately 14.7 km (9.2 mi) from the property, and other listed landmarks include the Taiseki-ji Temple at around 8.9 km (5.5 mi), the Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine at about 17.1 km (10.6 mi), and Lake Shojiko at roughly 19.4 km (12.1 mi) — all reachable as day-trip distances by car from this base. The nearest major airport on file is Mt. Fuji–Shizuoka Airport (FSZ), around 101.9 km (63.3 mi) away, so most travelers will be arriving via a longer domestic connection or a train-and-drive combination from Tokyo rather than a direct regional flight. For those planning that longer leg of the journey into Japan, it can be worth comparing flight options on Traveloka before working out the final overland or car leg to the Minobu area, since flight timing will shape how much daylight is left for the drive up into the mountains.

Dining at and near Sun & Moon Club

Onsite, Sun & Moon Club's listing confirms a restaurant where guests can get a meal without leaving the property, which is a practical convenience given the rural, low-density setting. Guest feedback on file describes the breakfast offering as simple, so travelers who prefer a wider breakfast spread may want to budget time to explore nearby options in Minobu or along the route toward Lake Tanuki and Shiraito Falls.

Because the immediate area is oriented around nature rather than a dense dining strip, most additional food options will be found in the small town centers travelers pass through en route to the property's listed landmarks — Minobu itself, known for its temple town character, is a reasonable stop for a meal on the way in or out. Travelers building a longer itinerary around the Lake Tanuki and Mount Fuji foothills area may also want to look at activities and things to do nearby to plan out sightseeing stops — such as the falls, the national park boundary, or the temple sites listed above — around mealtimes.

Why Stay at Sun & Moon Club

Sun & Moon Club's core appeal, based on Traveloka's own listing, is scale and setting rather than resort-style amenities: a two-room property tucked into the mountains a few minutes from Lake Tanuki, with a garden, terrace, and lobby fireplace that suit a quiet, slower-paced stay. The property's guest review data on Traveloka shows a strong 9.4 out of 10 rating (Exceptional) from six reviews, with cleanliness rated 9.4, room comfort rated 9.4, and service and facilities rated 9.8 — scores that, while based on a small sample size, point to a consistently well-regarded stay for guests who have booked it. Feedback also specifically calls out a "welcoming owner," reinforcing the sense of a personally run property rather than a large chain operation.

For travelers who want a base close to Lake Tanuki, Shiraito Falls, and the northern approach to Mount Fuji, without the scale of a big hotel, Sun & Moon Club's location and small footprint are the main draw. Those comparing this option against other places to stay in the wider Yamanashi/Mount Fuji foothills area can also browse other hotels on Traveloka to weigh it against nearby alternatives before deciding.

Tips for Booking Sun & Moon Club on Traveloka

Because Sun & Moon Club operates with only two rooms, availability can move quickly, especially around weekends and the warmer months when the Lake Tanuki and Mount Fuji area sees more visitors — booking earlier rather than later is a sensible approach for a property this size. Traveloka's listing shows check-in from 15:00 to 20:00 and check-out before 11:00, and notes that the property does not offer after-hours check-in, so travelers with a late arrival should plan their route and transport with that cut-off in mind, particularly given the rural, mountain-road setting.

The listing also notes that a late check-out fee may apply, subject to availability, and that pets are not allowed on the property. A professional property host or manager is listed as being on site, and government-issued photo identification along with a card or cash deposit may be requested at check-in for incidental charges — standard practice worth having ready given the property's small, closely managed setup. Guests with specific requests, such as room preferences, should note that these are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed in advance. Once travel dates are set, it's worth starting the wider trip plan from the Traveloka homepage, where flights, activities, and other accommodation in the area can be arranged alongside the Sun & Moon Club booking.
