It's a well-managed hostel. We stayed in a capsule for a couple. Plenty of space, comfortable and clean. Good kitchen, good common bathrooms. They have private rooms on the second floor for those who wish it. Twenty minutes on foot to the train station, a big supermarket around, a 7-eleven convenience store. It´s near the path of one of the touristic buses, so you can leave the bus before it reaches the station, what's very convenient.

I've downloaded from the site a map with instructions to get to the hostel from the station, on foot. The instructions seemed reliable, with pictures showing all the way. But the instructions were wrong and we walked a lot with suitcases until we found it. Probably it refers to old landmarks. I complained at the reception, I don't know if it was corrected. Please be sure of the walking way from the train station.

Location was simply beautiful and a rooftop terrace was the cherry on top. Amazing hostel with good facilities. There's an option to rent a bike which I highly recommend. Bikes have their own thief stoppers so you can leave them anywhere you want (local people do the same which is such a nice view to be honest). Everything you need is very close - bus/train station, shops, restaurants. You must visit Kosaku restaurant - it's amazing. Hostel itself is a nice one.

Sometimes you must wait for your shower but it is a hostel life.

Very nice atmosphere. We were welcomed by a guy staff from Chile, he was very welcoming. The room was nice with heater. The beds were comfortable. We had a sink in the room so it was very convenient. The kitchen was rather clean. Location is good : 10min from a combini, 30min from fuji q Highlands, 60mins from chureito pagoda (all by walk)

Poor sound isolation, we've been woken up by children the two mornings we were there (because parents let them run and scream in the corridors) so it was very troublesome. It's almost too bad children are allowed because otherwise the place would have been perfect !

It's my second time at the hostel! Cozy, spacious and clean! This time we booked a Fuji view room but unfortunately, Fujisan didn't wanna come out :( But apart from that, it feels homey and the futon was super comfortable! Perfect choice for those who want the Japanese-type stays! There's a nearby mall and Sukiya if you want a bite, and even a halal mart just across the street!

The first time I came, I didn't remember it being so far from the Kawaguchiko station & the lake. Be prepared to lug your luggages/do some walking around ~30 mins to station and ~40 mins to the lake.

We booked the private ensuite with Mt Fuji View and I am so glad we did! Upon arrival, the staff who assisted us is friendly & can speak english so we had smooth check in. It was amazing waking up to see Mt Fuji from our room. We really had a lovely time. The room is spacious though the bath is quite small & not so much space for our luggages especially when we have to open it. Since our rooms is located in 2nd floor, we have to carry our luggages up the stairs. The kids enjoyed the common area because there’s some board games & few toys to entertain them. My husband & daughter also enjoyed cycling with their bike rentals. We are so glad we booked 3 nights here & when we can come back we wish to have a longer stay here🙂

I love the view and neighbourhood! It’s really quiet and you get unblocked views of Mt Fuji up close on the roof and while walking around. Also it was great that on days that I was staying there, the weather was clear. The bed was comfortable and I also had space next to the bed to pack and lay my things out. Staff were really friendly and helpful. The common area connects to a kitchen where there’s a lot of space to cook/clean/store food. Most people I’ve met in the common area were open to talk too

It’s a walk from Kawaguchiko station for the view trade off and having a daily 2x 20 minute walk to and from the station could be quite taxing especially after a long day going around.

Loved the place overall, very kind staff, spacious living room and kitchen and rooftop with a striking view on Mount Fuji!!they recommended me a good onsen. Overall I would recommend.

I believe the value added of having a small bedside tabel on the bunk bed for each person to store essentials, charging cables and other things is a very positive point. It was missing in this case. There are just bunk beds, which are not best for isolating the noise. I would provide a set of ear plugs if possible in this case. Also worth mentioning it is a 20 min walk from the station. The shower had an issue where it was doing 5 seconds hot water, then 5 seconds cold.

Very comfortable, clean and good value for money.

The location is half good, you do indeed have a view of Fuji when you step out the front door and look up the street. However, for me I wanted to take photos and explore alot of the north side of Lake Kawaguchi and it's pretty far from there. As a reference, I woke up for a sunrise, walked at a brisk pace and it took me 90 minutes to reach Oishi Park. Just bare that in mind, depending on your itinerary and preferred choice of transport

Clean hostel, with a nice spacious and comfortable room: we booked the Japanese room (3 people) with Mount Fuji view and we were extremely lucky to wake up both mornings of our stay to a clear sky and impressive Mount Fuji out the window!

No public transportation to get to the hostel and very little taxis running during the New year period… We managed to get taxis on the day we went to Fuji Q Highland, however we had to walk 20-25 min to the station with our heavy luggage when leaving because no taxis available. Make sure to book your taxi well in advance!

Amazing views of Fuji! Friendly staff and good facilities. The common area and kitchen were great. I even met some good people to climb Fuji with! Our room was lovely with a balcony and private bathroom too. There are convenience stores and restaurants nearby, which is good. Lovely and quiet neighborhood with excellent Fuji views.

For an adult it should be totally fine, but I will just note that the location is a bit removed from the most active part of town, being a 20 minute walk from the train station. But the neighborhood was nice and we enjoyed seeing all the extensive gardens as we walked to town , but a bit of a trudge for my tired children. Taxi from the station is only 800-900 yen, so that makes luggage transit easier!
