    Nothing.

    The futon is very comfy and the house is decorated in traditional Japanese style. The host Mr. Iwaki was also very kind and helpful all the time. I would love to stay here next time.

    Nothing. It was a great stay.

    Lovely guesthouse run by a small family in a quiet street of Fujikawaguchiko. The host is very hospitable and although he speaks little english, he is good with technology and will help you out wherever he can. He prepared a welcome snack and drink when you check in. The tatami room is clean and spacious and if you are lucky, comes with a view of Mt Fuji. The bathroom is traditional and has a bath which is prepared for you every night. The location is around 20min walk from the main train station and is close to local shops.

    It could be better if the shower area was warmer and had more privacy, it is a large room that can be locked but I felt a bit awkward. The room where we slept couldn't be locked, a bit unsafe since there are strangers in the other rooms.

    We felt like staying in a local and traditional house. The tatami floors are really nice. Everything is really clean. It is in a residential area, there is a bus stop nearby but they offer a free shuttle from 3 pm from the station. You will get clean towels, yukata to wear, toothpaste and toothbrush. They offered tea as we arrived, very appreciated. We were lucky and since it was a clear day we got to see mount Fuji from our window. The owner took us to the station the next morning because it was very windy, he is very kind.

    Host was really friendly and welcoming, when we arrived at the station he was waiting there to pick up our luggage, so we could directly go explore! He brought us a pot of japanese tea and pickled radish to our room when we arrived at the place. Everything was clean and well organised.

    The host is very helpful and hospitable. Thank you very much. He picked us up from the station and offered to take our bags back to the Ryokan so we could sight see, also made nice welcoming tea and gave a lift back to the station. It was a cold night but we had plenty of layers of futon to keep warm. Fuji views in the morning (photo below). We walked everywhere from here, no need for bus pass if you like walking. The morning walk across the lake bridge to Oishi park offers the best views of Fuji.

    Helpful host and Fuji views.

    Nothing, all is good.

    The owner is very helpful and friendly, he tried his very best to help us with anything we need in the house. Not to forget his immense hospitality ever since we checked in. Good view to see the Mount Fuji too directly from the room. Definitely a plus.

    The only thing I didn't like is that I didn't have more time in Kawaguchiko, I would love to stay at this place again.

    This has been the best experience in my life. The owner picked us at the train station, we is so kind and willing to help. He did a great job communicating with us and was so helpful in many ways. The place is amazing, I felt like all those movies and animes I saw when I was a child, beautiful room, great bath, I enjoyed the bath time so much. The owner gave us tea and we got a room with view to Fuji-san. Beds are clean and they give you Yukatas, we even did a video or our own version of a tea ceremony. Just a comment for fellow guests, please be respectful with Japanese culture, this place more than a hotel is a family house, please be quiet and take off your shoes. Take care of the tatamis and all the place, cause everyone deserves to live such a beautiful experience. And to the owner: あなたの家に泊まらせてくれてありがとう。

    Not the owner's fault, but I don't appreciate city announcements over the loud speaker system at 7:30am on a Sunday. Who in authority has convinced themselves that this is a good idea or even okay?!

    Friendly welcome. No fuss check-in. Room was plenty spacious enough for two separate futons. The owner was flexible about using the shower room late and even offered to pick us up from the restaurant we had dinner in.

    The bathroom hot water is on a boiler so you need to let them know if you want a hot shower in the morning in advance.

    The host was very accommodating and picked us up at the station. We also ran across him one day in town and he gave us a ride to our destination. Very friendly and upgraded our room as well! Had a gorgeous view of Mt. Fuji.
