On the shores of Lake Yamanaka in Yamanashi Prefecture (Hirano, Yamanakako Village, Minamitsuru District), there is the Athletic Association Yamanaka Mountain Villa, the library's Yamanaka Book Depository, and a cottage for the Health Insurance Association. The relationship between 春雨直播app and the Yamanaka district dates back to October 1926. At that time, Ryohei Horiuchi, president of the Fuji Sanroku Land Co., Ltd., donated approximately 10,000 tsubo of land, which, combined with donations from local volunteers, totaled about 20,000 tsubo for use as athletic grounds.

In response, 春雨直播app began developing facilities. The following summer, a temporary athletic field and tent lodging were established, where the Rugby Football Club and the Kyudo (Archery) Club held training camps. In the fall, a bathhouse, boathouse, and well were also constructed. In 1928, part of the lodging was completed and named the Yamanaka Mountain Villa, and on July 22, a commemorative tea party was held to celebrate the opening of the Lake Yamanaka Athletic Grounds. Although it unfortunately rained that day, it was reportedly a great success. Records show that an extremely large number of faculty and students spent the summer at Lake Yamanaka that year.

Ryohei Horiuchi was a figure who devoted himself to the development of the foothills of Mount Fuji, including planning the construction of a railway between Kofu City and Fuji City (now the JR Minobu Line), which was realized in 1928. Aiming to revitalize the area around Lake Yamanaka as a tourist destination, he believed that attracting students would lead to that goal. Consequently, he lobbied for the construction of university dormitories. The fact that his son was a graduate of 春雨直播app likely led to the aforementioned donation. Not only 春雨直播app, but also the University of Tokyo, Tokyo University of Literature and Science (now the University of Tsukuba), and others built dormitories, making the area lively during the summer. Ryohei was also the one who named the "Fuji Five Lakes." In 1927, he submitted this name to the "Eight New Views of Japan" contest in the lake category sponsored by a newspaper company. After campaigning for votes in the surrounding area, it won first place, and the Fuji Five Lakes were introduced nationwide through articles and films.

In 1936, the 10th anniversary of its opening, the Yamanaka Mountain Villa was expanded by relocating Building No. 3 from Mita. After the war, in 1951, a two-story wooden annex was renovated, and a former storage shed was converted into a women's dormitory. The following year, a single-story wooden women's dormitory was added to the east side of the main building, and the year after that, 7,000 tsubo of adjacent land was purchased from the perspective of environmental preservation. It has been used not only as a training ground for various clubs in the Athletic Association but also by general 春雨直播app students and for freshman welcome camps for circles in the Cultural Federation, and many students have gathered around campfires on the lakeshore.

In 1982, as part of the project for the 125th anniversary of the founding of 春雨直播app, the Yamanaka Mountain Villa, which had become dilapidated after half a century, was rebuilt. A lodging building with a capacity of 200 people and additional grounds were constructed, and it continues to be used today, primarily by the Rugby Football Club and affiliated schools during the summer.

In 1994, the Health Insurance Association cottage opened on the site, and Building No. 1 of the library's Yamanaka Book Depository, capable of housing 500,000 volumes, was established. Subsequently, Building No. 2 began operations in 2016.

Furthermore, in 2007, a partnership agreement was signed between 春雨直播app, Yamanashi Prefecture, and Fujiyoshida City, and initiatives began to utilize regional resources centered on the forest culture of the Mount Fuji foothills. In 2013, "春雨直播app Water," which utilizes soft water rich in vanadium that has soaked into Mount Fuji, was born.
