    Nothing in particular.

    It is close to the main station, and the facilities are excellent. The staff was really friendly, they offered tips on what to see around the area, and made an effort to make small talk with me in japanese even though I only speak the language a little. There's a rooftop with amazing views of mount Fuji where you can relax and enjoy your meals/drinks, and you can rent their foldable bikes for free to visit the surrounding lakes.... Oh, and did I mention the free snacks? You get free snacks... Everything was amazing :)

    We stayed there 3 nights, the property is very clean and easy to stay. We stayed in Mixed Dorm and booked bunk bed so had some room for put things for using. Toilets auto bidet & shower rooms very clean both, The hosts were very nice both and privide good recommendation and communication was very clear. I loved the rooftop which can see & took photos with Mt. Fuji in panorama scenic...hope to stay again on next visit. The best is location near the kawaguchigo station walked about 8-10 minutes only so easy when need to checked out to next bus tor Shinjuku .

    Shared bathroom is not for everyone but given the price tag it's acceptable.

    Great location featuring unique rooftop with full view of mt fuji. Owner is greatly hospitable and caring - He actually came to tell me mt fuji was in view when I was about to depart so it really made my trip. Great facility as well - free coffee and snacks so I can grab a hot coffee and head for kawagichiko lake side early in the morning i.e. 5am.

    When we arrived we were upgraded to the superior room with an amazing view of Mount Fuji. We enjoyed the free snacks and coffee. The host was kind and helpful with where to eat and what to see. We spent the day after we checked out ridding the available bikes around the lake. It was also comfortable, clean and spacious. Amazing place!

    Nothing. Everything is perfect for me.

    I am absolutely in love with this place! It is only 5-7 minutes from the Kwaguchiko station and is very accessible! Even though Mount Fuji didn’t show up and it was snowing, I had the best time meeting fellow travelers. And their third-floor balcony was incredible! They offer free bikes for their guests to use, and there were free snacks in the lounge. I think the best part is how awesome their staff are! I’d love to stay longer in Kawaguchiko next time and stay with them again!

    They do provide towel rental each for 100 yen. It would be perfect if it’s free provided. This is the only con that I can think of, which I think most of us will also agree 100 yen is not a problem, at all.

    Clean. Comfortable. Friendly. Warm. Informative. The most surprising part of the stay is: they provide free access on bicycles! Which is a perfect transport in Kawaguchiko Area. Due to the cold weather, they even provide us free gloves and raincoat if needed. They also write every day’s temperature and weather on a small blackboard so you can double check the weather before going outside. The staff is super friendly that I couldn’t ask for more. They even give maps of tourist spots in Fujikawaguchiko, lead and guide you of the instructions about their space and access. I’ll definitely stay there again while returning to Fujikawaguchiko!

    My friends and I had an enjoyable stay at Fuji Guest House Ao. We booked a mixed dormitory and the bed is so comfortable. Their host are amazing. She brief us on every single thing that we need to know and show us around during check in. Upon our arrival all communication with the host was through chat feature on booking.com. Prompt reply every single time. The guest house is located nearby Kawaguchiko Station, which is about 5-10 mins walk. Convenience store and restaurants are within walking distance too. The host did a splendid job in keeping the place clean, it was spotless. There's a pantry with refrigerator, coffee machine and electric kettle that everyone can use. Free snacks, coffee, green tea and water are replenished everyday. No cooking stove though but that was not a problem for us. There are 4 toilets in total. 2 on the ground floor and another 2 on the 2nd floor where all the rooms are. Showers are located on the ground floor. You can rent towels and purchase toothbrush at a reasonable price. Shower gel, shampoo and hairdryer are free. I find the instructions that are placed at multiple area in the guest house are useful and the best thing about this place is the rooftop. The view is amazing! Mount Fuji right smack on your face during clear weather. There's mini playground for kids too. It was where we spend most of our time when we were at the guest house. They provide bicycle(well maintained) for guest to use, first come first serve. We used it on our last day to explore Kawaguchiko area. This place is perfect for those who are looking for a low to mid range stay in Kawaguchiko area. Recommended!

    The common showers and toilets Though maybe that's how it is w guesthouses. I loved it was kept tidy all the time!

    Friendly staff, he helped out to check bus schedule as we were going to Gotemba , and transfer to Hakone. We used their bikes to go around Lake Kawaguchiko, which was a fun activity to go up close and take pictures of Mt fuji
