Amazing location, just a couple of minutes north of the bus stop. It was extremely clean, and set up well if you plan on heading up Mt. Fuji (which we didn't do). The lake is walkable, the area is very quiet, and the staff are super helpful as well. The room which we stayed in was a good size, and sleeping on the tatami mats with futons was a cool experience. We also had additional storage in the form of a closet. Bathrooms/showers are clean and plentiful and the overall atmosphere is very welcoming.

Rooms had no soundproofing. Mostly not an issue but if someone is having a conversation or packing/unpacking, you will hear it. If you get lucky you can get a room with a view of Mt Fuji, but we just overlooked some rooftops.

This is the best place we stayed in our time in Japan (3 weeks). It is so welcoming and homely, with really clean facilities including a kitchen, dining area, showers and wash basins. The room was so comfortable and spacious, with great AC and just so many little, well thought out features to make staying there enjoyable, such as big wash basins and 3 toilets on each floor. We used slippers throughout the hotel and left our shoes by the door. We had lots of towels provided, hair dryer, toothbrush - all the amenities! It was such a peaceful, quiet place as they ask for quiet after 9pm but we still could enjoy a beer at the front of the guesthouse on our second night. The staff are so friendly, and, despite not speaking much English, we managed fine. They let us leave our bags there all day on our check out day and we paid 500 yen to use the shower (towel included) around 5pm before catching our bus to Osaka at 8pm. Also gave us free phone charger to use. It is so conveniently located 2 minutes from the station and 7/11, Lawson etc as well as some restaurants, and 15 minutes from the lake. Fab place!

Nothing! Some people complain about the showers being downstairs but it isn’t a problem as you’re so cosy in your slippers and we never had any problems with them being busy when we wanted a shower.

Very convenient location. Staff was very friendly. There is a luggage lift help to transfer up and down from second floor. Spacious room with cute details. Shower rooms are shared gender, very clean and water pressure is strong enough. Got a room with mt. Fuji view , waking up with a good view. Hanger, hanging rack, extension, little desk and mirror are all provided in the room as well.

It will be good if second floor have a hair dryer in the wash up area. Wish the hair dryer in the shower room can have stronger wind to speed up the hair drying.

oh i really love OC. it only took less than 5 minute from Kawaguchi-ko Station. which as closed as if you want to get 7-eleven or Lawson, or any kind of restaurant arround Kawaguchiko St. you can also see Mt. Fuji from your room! the room was clean and they provide tatami which is my very first experience. the staff was so friendly and kind. he inform anything thay i need. you can drop/kepe your lugagge at the hotel so no need to worry about that. they have laundry facilities you can use with the operasional time. they have seperated toilet for women. and all the things here was so clean. i love it!

i love everything in here.

Guesthouse OC is a small family run, Japanese like, hotel. The vicinity of Kawaguchi bus and train station is a strong reason when choosing OC. You can walk to or from the station in about 5 minutes. The location is also close to the main attraction in the area: Kawaguchi Lake (Kawaguchiko) and Mt. Fuji Panoramic Ropeway, again some 10-20 minutes walking time each. Supermarkets and restaurants, all are accessible by walking. The hotel itself is small, few rooms (less than 10) with a sufficient number of WC and shower rooms to be shared by the visitors in the commun area. We enjoyed staying in a Japanese style room, very close to a Ryokan style hotel. For a westerner this room may be less comfortable but if you agree to test it it may be a very pleasant experience. The hotel is equipped with everything needed for a relaxing sojourn and, what's most important, the hotel is well maintained and absolutely clean. The owner family is very friendly and supportive. Being a Japaneze style hotel, there may be some particularities like the less phonic insulation between rooms but once accepted this and if you are lucky having civilised neighbors observing common sense rules for living together this fact is perfectry tolerable. It was the case during our stay there. On top of this, despite the vecinity with a crowded point like a bus/railway station and the surrounding roads, the hotel is particularly quiet, with a rural appearance. During our stay the hotel was under the works for extention but, despite this, we didn't feel it, thanks to the well organized works.

Assuming deliberately the Japanise style of living it is nothing to complain about.

We booked this room spontaneously when we decided last minute to extend our stay in Fujikawaguchiko. The staff was exceptionally friendly and stayed up longer for us to let us check in after 9pm when we took way longer then expected to get down mount fuji. The room was adorable, we booked the classic japanese room with tatami. They also provide classic western mattresses for people who don’t want to sleep on a futon. The location is amazing, right next to the main station. We’d book this place again.

The location is only a 3 minute walk from the station. Full very well equipped kitchen with microwaves for heating up convenience store food. 4 different sizes of glasses for drinks! Nice lounging and sitting area. Place is modern traditional with sliding screens on windows and doorways separating downstairs areas. Largish futon room, with photo instructions how to spread it out. I only spent one night in town but would certainly highly recommend to anyone else as cheapest and best option overall with great location. I stayed on 2nd floor and three toilets upstairs, with four shower rooms all on 1st level but all good.

Stairs up to 2nd floor are rather steep, prob best not to move luggage down in their inside slippers! For whatever reason my room was lacking a towel and as 9pm end of staffing too late to raise, and no one there in the morning til 9am. I was lucky to find a spare downstairs next morning

We loved the close proximity to the to the train and bus station. Our room was cosy and warm and the Futon were comfortable.The toilets were shared but just outside the room.Showers were downstairs.The public kitchen and lounge room was well equipped. Close to Lawsons and 711 which makes self catering easy.Our room 202 had a view of Mt Fuji!! We would love to stay again. Special mention to staff member Shoki who was very friendly and helpful.

Very convenient location, fully-equipped kitchen, clean, friendly staff (even if they don’t speak English and didn’t really have recommendations of things to do around)

The bicycles they provide (not for free) are absolutely terrible. I think they are originally electrical bicycles but the electrical battery has been removed so the bicycle does not move even on a flat road. I strongly recommend to rent with another shop. Also you cannot get the bicycle at earlier than 9am. I booked a twin room for myself, it was a bunk bed and unfortunately they had only prepared the upper bed so I had to sleep on the upper bed which is very inconvenient (especially as I was used to sleep in dormitories and I was looking forward very much for having some comfort with this room). Also there was only a very tiny window in the room with the bed stuck to it so I didn’t have natural light in the room. I found the price expensive for this room.

We really liked this guesthouse. There was a lovely vibe to the place. The staff were very friendly and helped us by looking after our luggage before check-in and after check out. The organisation of the luggage service was really wonderful. The room was lovely - the beds extra comfy. We saw that you could rent bikes which we didn't do but wish we had. The buses can be very full with tourists and we believe to cycle would have been a better expeirience. The shower rooms and bathrooms were all clean. We were lucky to have a fridge right outside of our room so we had quick access to our breakfast. Also a really great location near to the station.

Nothing.
