No staff contact.. didnt see or hear anyone else aside from myself in the hotel. A tad creepy.

The quietness of the location. The free of their bicycle.

Location

Stayed in April 2024

Room was booked last minute so we got the ground floor, therefore no direct view of Mt Fuji like in the pictures. I think if I was on the upper floor I would have got a better view. Don't bring too much luggage is my recommendation. Bus starts at 9:30am and not before so planning is needed. All the shops close early, so wrap up by 4:00pm

It was still the best view of Mt Fuji and so convenient from the place. We went out in our pyjamas with a cuppa coffee to see the mountain early in the morning and it was fantastic. The day we arrived it was really bad weather, so didn't even think we could see it, but at night the clouds cleared and Mt Fuji was there in all it's glory - recommend seeing at night and in the morning. We were lucky to get this place at such an affordable price it was incredible. We got a chance to stay in a Ryokan setup. The place was clean, the host was amiable, smoking place outside. Quick walk to the main bus terminal and other bus stop is 3mins away.

Bathroom was pretty small, the whole building was cold (heater/ a/c in the room worked great tho!) Bathroom was very cold, kind of far away from everything, the bikes could use better lights

Very friendly host, traditional japanese room from where we could see fuji mountain! We could use bikes for free, quiet surroundings, very close to the lake

The distance from the nearest train station is a little bit far and the bus schedule is often late

There was a problem with the hot water but the staff responded quickly

Unfortunately, the WiFi didn’t work for us. As some people mentioned already, there is no restaurant open in the evening (not even at 7pm and even though Google maps says something different) and the Konbini closes at 8pm. However, if you like hiking this is a great location to start from!

The room was very clean and with a beautiful view on Mount Fuji! Although it was very cold outside during the night, the room had a comfortable temperature and we slept very well (the mats to put on the tatami floor were also quite spacious). Also the sitting area in front of the window was beautiful! There was green tea available and we were able to rent bikes for free. Since we arrived too early for the check in, the owner kindly let us leave our backpacks and already rent the bikes (same thing after checkout). His English was good, too.

The room was a bit smelly.

The location and view were amazing. Do keep in mind that the place is at the end of a busline and the first bus leaving is at 9:27. I didn’t mind it at all!

There is basically nothing you can do at night. This is because the property is quite far from the center, bus stopped operating and bicycles are the only option unless you have a car. There are also no restaurants nearby that open at night and the convenience store next to the place closes at 8 pm, so better to plan your dinner ahead of time. Also, there are no elevators so we have to carry our baggage (with the owner's help) upstairs. Additionally, remember to contact the property regarding your estimated check-in time beforehand. If not, then you have to wait for quite some time for the owner to come. Nevertheless, its a good place to just chill.

The location is perfect for those who like quiet places. It is extremely close to Oishi Park and we can directly see Mt. Fuji from the terrace on the third floor. The owner is friendly and helpful, even offering to help bring our big-size baggage up. The room is quite spacious for the three of us plus our baggage.

Towels were a bit stained and there was a foisty smell in the room, would be great to have an air fresher or diffuser.

Amazing view of Mt Fuji! Nice, quiet location - you can use the free bikes from the hotel and bike all around the lake which was wonderful. You can also bike into Kawaguchiko town in about 30mins for food. Good sized room with strong air con which was needed in the summer heat. You can get a bus from the main station in Kawaguchiko and it stops just a few metres away from the hotel.

Futon was very hard, ok for one night though :)

Authentic experience, close to the lake with Mountain views.

Stayed in August 2023

The futons were very thin/flat and we had to search around a bit to find the third comforter in a closet. The bathroom was small (toilet/sink/shower/bath in a small unit room) with an unruly shower if you aren't careful, but thankfully it is the kind of bathroom that is okay to get completely wet. I mentioned the host was friendly and offered simple information if asked, but he didn't offer up anything more than smiles and simple answers to our questions. This could be a positive or negative depending on your preferences. If you prefer a host who is forthcoming with tidbits of information about the area and tips or interested in knowing their guests a bit, this is not the host for you.

The room was clean and the premises quiet. Pillows were great (2/person!) and all bedding (except one comforter) was piled neatly in the corner for us to lay out when we were ready. Private bathroom! You could see Mount Fuji and the lake out of the window to the side of an abandoned/condemned building. Free bikes were a bonus, but they are very small and a little strange to ride at first. If you go across the street to the left of the abandoned building, you get to a path with a lovely garden that loops around the lake to the left. It goes for a bit to the right too, but not too far. A Daily Yamazaki convenience store is directly to the left of the building. Free parking! The host friendly and would give simple information when asked - if you like your hosts to not want to chat and leave you be, this is the host for you! Lastly, the price point was just what we needed.

There is no bed. It is traditional Japanese room.

Great location, astonishing view of mt.Fuji. Friendly host. Bicycles were available on site. We have been upgraded to a better room. Nice traditional experience overall.

The bedding seemed old and we couldn't be sure if it's really clean. But we only needed a place to rest for one night, so just made do with it.

Location is near lake, and there's a spot for drone displays on some nights. The flower garden next to the lake was beautiful.

Stayed in June 2023

The location is s bit distant from restaurants. I am not sure about view to Mt. Fuji as we had very rainy weather conditions. I think you need a car to get there.

The room is quite big, sleeping on the futon was our first experience and we enjoyed it. There is a microwave in the hall. There is a shop right next to the hotel.

Hot water system was not consistent

The heater took a bit long time to work.
