The only downside is that the soundproofing isn’t great. Overall, it’s a solid option for the price!

The hotel is in a great location, close to Kawaguchiko Station, which makes it very easy to get around. It’s well-equipped with shared bathrooms and showers, as well as a microwave, fridge, and electric kettle, so you can easily heat up some food. The room is small but very clean, which is a big plus.

Room is too small for 3 people. Room # 2. No heater inside the lobby. Sink no hot water. Not a good idea to stay during autumn and winter season.

Very convenient. I was lucky and the weather was super clear so managed to see Fuji-san

Stayed in October 2024

The walls were paper thin so I could hear my neighbour snoring. The beds were not very comfortable and the blinds were too small for the window and so let a lot of light in during the morning.

Great location

Nice location 👌

Very nice location ! But if you want a quiet place, it’s not here wall are not well sound isolated, you feel all customers in the same room during the evening and morning, same with external noise. Facilities was nice if you are looking just for 1 or 2 night to be near the bus station, to go climb the Mount Fuji.

Futons could’ve been more comfortable.

Very good value for money. Great location to view the mountain.

Stayed in April 2024

Door maneuver was not working properly and fell down. Futon was thinner than usual which ended up being uncomfortable

If other guests are noisy then they will keep you awake, luggage left for the day is unsupervised (there’s a camera but anyone could come in and steal it)

Very close to bus station, lots of nearby restaurants, very cheap for my own room, warm room, responsive host on WhatsApp

Nothing

Location. 5 minute walk from the station

Stayed in October 2023

Beds were uncomfortable and linen didn’t fit the duvet properly. No staff to check you in, self check in via an ipad. Took longer to complete this way as it kept resetting and it was in Japanese. Took a few attempts to understand process and switch to English. Would of preferred to speak to a member of staff

Location was great as it was within a walking distance from the bus station. Room was clean and tidy. If for a short stay it’s fine.

We arrived after hours, and I found the check-in process a bit annoying. No staff member was present, so we had to enter all our details on the tablet that kept freezing; I had to restart the process multiple times, and it frustrated me a bit. In the end, I managed with the help of another guest.

Samurise was a pleasant surprise. The facility is basic but comfortable and fair for the price. The facility is located behind Kawaguchiko Station and has free parking for those wishing to drive. It is also within walking distance from the famous Lawson Kawaguchiko Station. Beware that walls are thin, and you will hear everything that other guests get up to. The room had AC which kept us fresh during the night. The bunk bed was okay although the mattresses were a bit uncomfortable for us (personal experience). Toilet and showers are shared, sadly other guests may be messy at times. The staff left a personalised note on our desk upon check-in and I found it a very kind gesture reflecting Japanese hospitality.

The AC was not very powerful the night was warm.

Very convenient check-in without staff. The room has tatami and AC. Very close to Kawaguchiko station.

We booked a room for 3 but arrived and it was just one bunk bed. We had to request another bed which was a mattress they put on the floor. The room was uncomfortably cold as there was poor insulation. The heater was near one bed, but wasn't powerful enough to heat the room.

It was close the the train station. The rooms were a good size.

We arrived after 9 PM. No staff , we have to check in with a tablet . A bit tricky when taking photos with passport.

Good location , near Kawaguchiko Station . There is welcome note for guest .

A jerk stole my rainbow umbrella out of the umbrella stand.

The staff was prompt and responsive to any issues

Stayed in May 2023

The mattresses could be more comfortable and the bathrooms could be cleaner.

It’s near Kawaguchiko station which is really good location.

Stayed in May 2023

Uncomfortable sleeping on the floor, the walls are quite thin, we could hear the other rooms

The location is great, very near the station. There are a few local restaurants nearby and a large supermarket. The room was fine, showers were okay.

Stayed in April 2023

overall is fine, but the sound proof is very poor, have a gentle stay

good location and room view

Stayed in April 2023

Walls are not really soundproof, you cannot adresse anyone physically. It's all trough phone.

Great location. Easy self check in system.

Stayed in March 2023

Noisy due to the room is close to the main door and the wood floor. No mirror inside the room Narrow room space and the upstairs bed might injured by hitting the heater/air conditioning. No prompt helping you due to the selfed and automatic check in process, including answering the other problems.

Near the train station and clean

The room smelled musty the most time

Location was absolutely top

Stayed in April 2023

unfortunately it was unable to store my luggage before check in, and the WiFi is really slow…

The room and shared room were clean. Nicely located, 5min from Kawaguchiko station.

Stayed in March 2023

No on-site stuff. Check-in could be easier. Fridge for food or luggage storage before check-in and after check-out would be nice. The 10-3 PM black in period when check in is not available is a strict restriction: May need to be modified: I understand, this is to reduce, cost, though.

Good location and price - without breakfast. Large size room, Overall good experience

Stayed in January 2023

It's a very comfy place. Both room and toilet are clean. Even though it was fully booked and we can hear people talking as we walked into the place, the sounds disappear as the door closed. The location is near the train station too! Overall is a good place to stay over if you wanted to visit Kawaguchi-ko.
