    The house is beautiful - on a clear day, you can see Mt. Fuji looming in the distance. The facilities are fantastic - better yet, is Michi, who runs this hostel. His hospitality and kindness is remarkable - Michi helped me plan my itinerary during my stay, offering loads of recommendations that were fantastic, and made my trip very special! The house is exceptionally beautiful, and the beds are very comfortable! Best night sleep I have had in a hostel in Japan!

    Everything. The owner is so friendly and helpful. It’s a typical Japanese house, you can enjoy an amazing view on Mount Fuji. The beds are comfortable, it’s very very clean. You can find walkable distance a nice coffee and restaurant. You can take the green line bus , which is helpful to go around the lake.

    Lovely place, japanese style home, very clean and in a good day you can eat or just sit and relax in the living room with Fujisan view. Mr Michi was a great owner and host, pickup and send guest whenever needed. Walking distance to lake kawaguchi near yagizaki park which has the best view of fujisan view and cherry blossom. Definitely will come again

    This is so much more than a hostel, it’s so clean and comfortable and the facilities are brilliant. Our host was so helpful and even picked us up and dropped us off to the station. There are amazing Fuji views from the shared area and lots of places within walking distance to explore. We loved everything about our stay here!

    Nothing as such. Even though the location is slightly far from the station (2 kms. Approx), the host came to pick me up and dropped me as well (he does it for all).

    The host was great. Felt like i was speaking to Mr Kim from Kim's Convenience

    Owner-san was amazing! He had local knowledge and he freely picked me up and dropped me off at the station. He also reserved a restaurant for us and gave us sightseeing recommendations. The facilities were good and the lounge was amazing. If I ever come back, which is unlikely, I will come back to this hostel.

    Surrounded by residential areas, it's very quiet at night.

    This is a wonderful hotel with a unique decor style. It features a courtyard where, on clear days, you can enjoy views of Mount Fuji while sitting by the window or strolling in the yard. It takes about half an hour to walk to the bridge from the hotel, where you can also see the hexagonal pavilion in the lake. The accommodation is also very clean with a great atmosphere.

    Location was a little out of the way. The green bus goes there but it only comes every 1 hour. Other than that, it was good.

    Amazing view from the room. Had to wait for clear sunny days to enjoy the view. The owner is a very kind & helpful host with lots of good information to give. Accidentally left something in the room & the owner helped us retrieve it. Recommend to book a room with fuji view so you can watch the sunrise.

    Staying here was one of the best parts of my trip to Mount Fuji! It’s a beautiful and comfortable home, with an unbelievable view to Mount Fuji in the backyard! Michikusa san is one of the most welcoming, sweet and funniest person I’ve ever met, who made me feel like home. He can pick you up and drop you off at kawaguchiko station. I met incredible people who were staying there as well. I recommend this place 100%! A little tip: the closer konbini it’s a little far from there, so I recommend to buy whatever you want before going :)

    The futon mattresses were quite thin, which made sleeping a little uncomfortable

On top of that the owner is extremely friendly from giving recommendations to taking us to the train station when we left. The kitchen and common rooms are great as well and we had a nice time chatting with others
