Late check-in worked fine. We booked a private room and it was clean and very cool - we had a nice view on Mt. Fuji. Different amenities available (toothbrush, slippers, cotton swabs, shower gel, etc.) Solid 15 min walk from the main Kawaguchiko station, so you can reach everything in the region quite fast. The mattresses are thin futons laying on the floor - please consider whether this is comfortable for you or not.

You can hear everything going on in the building, which we knew before and is ok, but unfortunately not all guests are considerate of others even though it is written everywhere to be quiet after 9 because of the thin walls. The price was rather hotel-ish, but I guess the Fuji region is more expensive in general

Family of 5 looking to try a hostel as alternative accommodation to hotel or Airbnb. This was by far the nicest hostel I've ever stayed in. Beautiful decor with a mix of classic Japanese with the bamboo mats in the room, with modern facilities. Incredibly friendly staff, lovely communal areas inside and out, happy hour bar and a great dinner. Location was short walk from station and easy to get to Lake Kawaguchiko. We even got a view of the summit of Mount Fuji on the final morning.

Nothing to add here.

Great location and view of Mount Fuji. There is some construction going on so the view may new but obstructed. It's about under a ten minute walk from the bus station/train station coming in from Shibuya. The place had a really cool and unique interior, with an attached cafe bar kitchen. Although closed when I was there, the options seemed interesting. The area was still open for leisure use and it was a great cozy atmosphere. I was in a room which has two mats available in the upper and lower bunk. There's also an area in the room where you can sleep as well, and I chose to sleep there. The room was clean and tranquil. I would go back!

The area is a bit hard to get to because there aren't sidewalks, but that is of no fault of the hostel. Just be wary of the traffic around you and to stay in the side of the road when walking. The food options were also a bit limited around there, but once I found the 24 hr drugstore behind it I was kicking myself. Find some restaurants before hand around the area, cause you might find yourself walking a lot just to find something that night be closed!

The restaurant and hang out room was awesome, the food & coffee amazing when it was open A fabulous view of Mt Fuji just outside the hostel The shower rooms were clean, perhaps add a drier to the laundry room

The bed space was not comfortable with the upper bed space being on slats which allowed light and food and rubbish to fall onto the lower bed awful to be woken up in the middle of the night this way People who snore should know not to be in a shared dormitory...the hostel is not to blame for this

I really loved this hostel. Everything was perfectly clean and modern. The decoration is really cool. Beds are big and comfy. There’s also a restaurant and bar in the hostel. The food is quite good and the drinks are cheap, especially during happy hour. The outdoor patio is also quite nice! Not the most social hostel, but I still met a few travellers.

The only thing I didn’t like is the kitchen, which is quite small. Oh and also, there’s a free laundry machine, but no drier. I had to use the coin laundry machines which are located 8 min away, but it was a bit expensive at 1100 YEN.

Lovely design of property. Had a view of Mount Fuji from our room which we woke up to. Clean. Amenities provided. Nice outdoor area also. About 10 minutes walk from Lake Kawaguchiko station so not far at all - walk is not difficult but just to be aware.

The kitchen was adequate size but eating area only 3-4 seats - where people were doing their postcards so we couldn’t sit to have our dinner. I would recommend that the hostel had more of a public space so people that weren’t eating could leave the space for people to eat.

We booked a private double room and it was beautiful. Simple and contemporary design, very spacious and our view was incredible. We had a perfect view of Mt Fuji. What a sight to wake up to in the morning. We also loved the communal space downstairs and having access to the kitchen. The outdoor garden area is also very nice. We didn't eat at the bar as it wasn't open the evening we arrived. Location is good, the town is quite small so only a short walk to the train/ bus station.

Nice decor. Simple and spacious room, comfortable for 3 pax. Easy walk to station even with suitcases. After hours, the restaurant area can be used as a common area and it is very spacious and comfortable. Very cute orange cat can be spotted hanging around the hostel grounds, her name is Kinako (roasted soy bean powder).

I booked the mountain view but the view was blocked by construction work next door. The construction to increase the height of the house next door also means that the room's previously gorgeous unobstructed mountain view is now inclusive of next door roof.

I stayed for three days two nights, but for the first two days, I couldn't see Mount Fuji at all because it was shrouded in thick clouds and fog. It wasn't until the last day that finally saw half of the mountain. I was surprised to find out that the guesthouse was right at the foot of the mountain. The entire environment was very comfortable and relaxing.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful with local restaurants and hiking opportunities. They also spoke fluent English which was a huge help. Additionally the location is great, right next to the station and on a street looking straight at the beautiful Mt Fuji.

Very low sound proofing in the room so was really hard to fall asleep with the snoring and the alarms going off. But not really the hostel’s fault.
