This is the best possible place you can stay in when you are in the Kawaguchiko area. At $50 a night, the full on view you get of Mt Fuji is priceless. Beautiful private room (if you opt for that) which is clean and cosy. The only con is that it’s a shared bathroom but it was equipped with real good soap and conditioner and clean as well. Highly recommended.

Fabulous staff! So helpful! One woman helped me buy a bus ticket online when I couldn’t find the right information. She gave me ideas for food in Osaka. The place was spotless and nice but freezing cold! Be prepared to cover up if you’re there in winter. I was told it’s a traditional bldg and the heating systems are per room.

Love the design
The interior design of the hostel was really nice. It’s walkable distance from Kawaguchiko lake. Takes about 20mins or so. Close to Kawaguchiko station too.

2/10 Poor

No respect for guests
The staff here are more concerned about the hostel’s image rather than the guests paying to stay there. I tried to have my dinner in the common area/dinning area and was told it’s only restaurant guests. This information isn’t provided on the booking site nor at check in. I wouldn’t have stayed here knowing I would be kicked out of the common area for eating. They prefer to support their restaurant guests instead. This doesn’t create a positive hostel environment. It’s not social because guests are secluded to their rooms instead of the common area. The large mixed dormitory has no lock on the door so anyone can walk in.

I stay one night in this hostel. Staffs are friendly. The location was fine with 10min walk from station and you will find few convenience shops around the hostel. There's bike rental and I have rent a bike to walk around Kawaguchiko and Saiko, which is great experience!! The only problem is there's very cold in shower room especially when you take a shower during cold period.

Really clean, lovely decor, view of Fuji and great bikes for the cheapest hire price around. Couldn't recommend more! Only slight downside is the area around isn't all that lovely.

A great setting as a hostel. lovely attention to detail and great design/decor for this kind of setting. I was super pleased. The shared spaces are cool looking, employees super nice and speak great English, very helpful. Also a very cool vibe. The futons were a bit hard, I slept on futons that had a second mattress layer to make is not as floor-hard, so I had to put half of my duvet under me.

Stylish and chill hostel with great views
Stayed for 2 nights in the female dormitory, and loved the atmosphere of the hostel! Stylish blend of modern amenities and traditional architecture. Very clean and well-kept, and really enjoyed the amount of space offered in the female dorm (4 beds and plenty of room to stretch out/for luggage). The dorm window looked straight out onto Fuji which was amazing! The room was very warm and nights were quiet, so you can get a good sleep. Fellow solo travellers were also friendly and open to socialise if you wanted. Bar and dining/cafe downstairs was convenient, especially when you don't want to brave the winter chill at night, and both were open late. Staff were friendly and reception can help you book shuttles/activities/etc. if you need them, which I did when scheduling a shuttle to an onsen nearby. Location is about a 10 minute walk from the station; as an fyi, I'd recommend arriving at the hostel during daylight hours (when you check in) since the surrounding streets are a bit more confusing at night as it's a largely residential area that is not very well lit. Usually not much of a problem (this is where a pocket wifi device comes in handy) but if you have lots of luggage, save yourself the hassle of navigating with baggage and in the dark. Worth noting that I still felt pretty safe though. Also very close to several convenience stores, a large drugstore, shopping centre and a 15-20 min walk from the lake! Would stay here again! :)

Great place to stay
I and boyfriend had a wonderful time there. I read some reviews mentioning about the noise issue and I was little concerned prior to our stay. But we were lucky that everyone else staying there respected others and nobody was loud during late hours, so we didn’t have any problems during our stay. Staff were all so nice and friendly!
