    Common room was in front of the bedrooms. It didn't bother me, but you have to be a little quiet. No windows in the room, so a bit smelly

    Very kind staff. Tea available. Very clean. View of Mt Fuji from your breakfast table.

    Only thing that would be negative is that my wifes hairblower didnt work in the blower. Maybe it was about the voltage difference.

    What my wife and i liked about the Hostel, was, that its close to a train station (5 min walk), lots of small restaurant, cafes and small shops (like for tea or for clothing) are nearby, even a 7/11 is very close (also around 5 min walk) Our stay in the Hostel was very cozy, we had booked a room with tatami mats and futon bed for ourselves. It was very spacious as we were able to also leave our big luggage (2 suitcases each 20kg) in our room. The Owner of the Hostel has a big knowledge about the area, such as where to go, what to do, and many other recomendations. We will definetly come back

    A very comfortable hostel in a great, central location - a one-minute walk from the iconic Fuji-san street view. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They asked every day if everything was OK and if I had any questions. The bunk bed was the best I've ever had in Japan - strong curtains that went all the way round, and had press studs to close the curtains. The kitchen and showers were well equipped. Free tea and coffee. Lots of information about what to do and transport links.

    I thought I had booked for a price but in the end, it was different. Of course I should've checked earlier, but still a bit disappointing.

    I loved the environment, there were even some games available. Great bathroom area and good washing machines, and even free coffee and tea. There is a view for mount Fuji, though a bit covered by other buildings, is excellent and made me happy when I opened the curtains in the morning.

    I would advise bringing noise canceling headphones and/or earplugs since the common areas are very close to the beds, and some people like to stay up and chat.

    Comfortable beds and clean facilities. Every bed has good privacy curtains. For the price and location, it's a great place to stay in Fujiyoshida.

    The dorms are pretty tight, but with the curtains it wasn’t so bad. Also some construction and cleaning in the morning (around 8) was slightly annoying when I tried to sleep in. But not really that much of a problem.

    Good location and good price! Staff were nice and it was a very clean and comfortable spot. Would absolutely recommend.

    Overall, I really liked my stay!

    It's more related to the room I stayed in - I booked a private tatami room. There were no windows in my room, so I felt like being in a box and constantly had to have lights on even during the day. Secondly, maybe it is supposed to be this way but the room was a bit smelly, like a smell of sawdust, so I found it a bit unpleasant. Lastly, no sound isolation from the corridor. Since this is a hostel, many guests like to talk to each other, and sometimes up to quite a late night. I understand it, but it was just bad timing for me when I was sick and tired, and wanted to get some sleep (it was after 10 pm), but since quiet hours were only from 12 AM, some other guests just kept chatting in the hall and I could hear everything in my room even with earplugs (though they didn't speak loud, just in normal voice). So I feel like if this hostel would manage somehow to get a separate socialising room, this wouldn't be an issue anymore :)))

    The location was nice - just a few stops by local train from Kawaguchiko Station, however, you could walk around Shimoyoshida (a very nice and quiet town area), and also it was a pretty easy and short walk to Chureito Pagoda (around 20 min on foot). Also, the staff was really helpful and kind, spoke perfect English so I had no issue with communication. They also had lots of leaflets about what to see and how to navigate around Kawaguchiko which was really nice and didn't really have to go to the Tourist Centre.

    The room is very small, there is hardly any room to move, the mattress was comfortable but the bunk bed above creaked with every movement, which made it difficult to sleep. It's a 12 minute walk from the main bus station.

    This is probably the cheapest hostel in fujiyoshida. The room for a couple is a small room with a bunk bed and shared toilets. The hostel is clean and have a microwave and refrigerator. it's a 6 minutes walk from the train station that takes you to the Fuji-Q Highland park. 5 minutes walk to a 7/11.

    Room was a little cramped - could have done with one less bed but was fine when hostel wasn’t full.

    Good location to explore the lakes. Really clean hostel. Efficient staff. Awesome view of Fuji on a clear day. Great value for money.
