Stayed in April 2025

The place is perfect and takes about 10 minutes to walk. But I could see Mt.Fuji from my room and the facilities were great.

A little bit awkward going through the public restaurant to the private kitchen. Felt like I couldn't just go through looking scruffy.

Room was really nice, very modern Scandinavian type hostel. Beds were excellent. Garden was wonderful of sit out in, lovely space.

Stayed in a 4 bed female dorm. Staffs are helpful and smiles. Less-than 10 minutes walk to Kawaguchiko station, near the famous Lawson. I had a nice and quiet and comfortable stay. Everyone was respectful. Shared toilet and shower room was clean. Has a shared small kitchen and it has a small cooker, microwave, toaster, fridge and kettle. Free coffee and tea. Has a strong wifi.

I stayed in the mix dorm and the other guest are making noise in the middle of the night. Should set strict rules for not making noise after 11am.

Great property. My Fuji view just outside the hostel!

The view was amazing! Mt Fuji right out of the window. Cool hostel as well. I loved the design and restaurant/bar downstairs was very convenient.

you have to walk across common area to get to showers

comfortable bedding, location close to bus station,

Stayed in March 2025

Not too bad but the kitchen is a bit small. The showers are downstairs and you have to walk by the restaurant main room where everyone can basically see you walking back and forth.

Close to the station with a nice view of Mt Fuji. The beds in the female dormitory were spatious with space to put your belongings beside you and the atmosphere was very cosy.

If you are sensitive to sounds, the hallway floor creaks when someone is walking and the walls are thin. Personally I didn’t have a problem with this but just keep in mind. It is also a ten to fifteen minute walk from Kawaguchiko station so it might be hard if you have luggages.

Booked this hostel last minute and was surprised with the amazing view of Mount Fuji on the window! The japanese style room was comfortable and the shared kitchen was well equipped and convenient.

The toilet near the shower room only had the flush button function. It didn't have the washlet function. On the other hand, the toilet near the rooms was okay but there's a narrow opening when the door is completely closed. It can be uncomfortable if anyone from the outside could peek through it when they walk across the hallway. Also, I wished there was a shoe rack for the guests to leave their shoes. I stayed in the lower bunk bed and during my last night of stay, I couldn't sleep because of the horrible smell of a guest's shoes. I wished they also had earplugs available (although I am not sure because I didn't ask). I couldn't sleep for 2 nights because of the loud snoring of the guest in the upper bunk bed. I admit, though, that some of these experiences are not the hostel's fault.

The location is walkable from Kawaguchiko Station. Quiet neighborhood. Spacious bunk bed. Very accommodating host/s. Free coffee/tea. Modest kitchen utensils and equipment. Water from the faucet is potable (safe to drink). Nice shower rooms!

We were in the mixed dormitories so unfortunately suffered a lot of men snoring; next time we'll make sure to be in the girl dormitories

Very good location (about 15 minutes away by foot from the train station), the place was very pretty and the staff was nice. They also have a restaurant and that's very convenient when there is not many places to eat late at night (a lot of food places close as early as the sunset)

Bit weird that the bar and restaurant were only open at the weekends. Location of the showers was not ideal. Not a very social hostel.

Great small hostel at a perfect location.

Wonderful food and drinks, and they have Happy Hour. Great location

Stayed in February 2025

The room is not so soundproof so sometimes you can hear the guest from next room were chatting and walk in the aisle because the floor from wood (it’s a modern traditional floor and designed hostel)

The facilities were great. The staff were so helpful and speak English very well. I also ask for help calling a taxi on the day I checked out due to snow showers. The location is near from Kawaguchiko station, but if you have a luggage it a bit hard to take your luggage because the pedestrian is not so smooth. My room has a window which faces Mt. Fuji. It was soooo great

Stayed in February 2025

It’s a long walk from the station.

My 2nd time staying here & I still love it. Facilities are good. Affordable. Cozy.

Stayed in January 2025

Only the shower room is bit small.

As a hostel,kagelow most of the time is quiet and I like it. Because knowing people doent have to be loud, only few times that the guest steps are very heavy. The food is good. The room is comfortabke. All good.

1. TV has no English channel. Not even NHK English news. 2. Room has no hooks/rack/bar to hang stuff. But there are 2 hangers in the room. 3. Room is not small and I am sure it can accommodate a bench to put luggages. The room space can be better utilized. 4. Lightings only concentrated on the bed area. There is no light at the empty space as one enters the room. Which makes packing difficult at night.

Friendly staff. Check-in was a breeze. Property located some 10 mins or slightly more away from the train station by foot. Neighbourhood is very quiet. The hostel has a barn style like design and the ambience is very homey and cosy. A big lounge area and outdoor patio for one to relax and mingle. There is a bar and cafe but was closed during my stay. Kitchen is well equipped. Use of washing machine is free. But there is no dryer. There are adequate shower stalls and toilets Despite full house during my stay, I never had to wait to use either. Wifi connection is strong. Lawson and 711 are very near the train station. Family mart is some mins walk away in the direction of the lake from the property. My room is modern minimalistic and comes with a fridge and TV, albeit only japanese channels. Bed is very comfortable and duvet is super fluffy and warm. There is also a desk by the window. The best thing is, the window has a perfect view of Mt Fuji. For 2 days I saw Mt Fuji in it's full glory.
