Eventhough it’s only like a few stations away from the main hotspot, the train frequency isn’t that great. They come every 30 minutes. So if you miss one, then you’re just going to waste 30mins waiting. And they don’t have screen announcement, so please be aware of what train you’re taking. Also, the area is pretty dead. Idk if it’s because of winter or what so yeah. Only one restaurant opens.

Clean. I stayed at a single room for one, very comfortable and warm. Laundry service also pretty great. There is one small restaurant in front of the hostel, serves great fish! I enjoyed my stay here.

A person snoring in the bunk bed above me. Not the fault of the staff.

Friendly staff, all required amenities available, travel & trip information available via booklets onsite.

In the morning, one of the staff walks really loud in the doorway while other staff and other guests walk very gentle with min sound.

Great location, close to train stations and a shop nearby. The hostel is also well-equipped with most things you would need. We were shocked by the amazing view in the next morning when we open the door, seeing Mt Fuji right there outside of the window.

Excellent location just a few minutes walk from the train station. It's a good base to explore fuji from and there is a convenience store as well as a supermarket within 10 minutes walk. The owners and staff are kind and very helpful and I'll be sure to return if I make another trip to fuji!

Nothing. I like everything about the hostel. Especially my tatami room. I was alone and it was super spacious.

The location was great. Walking distance to the train station, honcho street, FujisanSimomiya OmuroSengen Jinja and the Chureito Pagoda. I love how enthusiastic Michael is with Fuji-san as well.

Nothing really. Maybe they didn't notice it was my Birthday.

I love the vibes of this place. Quiet, near the train station, and Mt Fuji view! Also, the staff are really nice, some are also Filipino where I was able to speak my language. I love the amenities, free coffee & tea. It's also walkable from the iconic pagoda. I celebrated my Birthday here.

I dont know if I dont like this hostel because everything is perfect. Money is worth it. Definitely recommended and will come back again here.

We lost in japan and miss the 8pm check in but they still wait for us and guide us. They are so friendly. All people there are so kind and generous. Free coffee, tea and bed is really comforting. A lot of chair where you can sit and just chill. Free wifi.

Well for the price I can’t complain so here’s a little suggestion. Would love it if they also have options for smaller shared rooms say 4 people max :)

Loved how helpful the staff was to recommend places around :)

I found this hostel online and glad I chose this place. You can see Mount Fuji from the hostel itself and it’s located in a friendly small town. The hostel itself is VERY clean and the owners and employees are so helpful. They were so knowledgeable about the area including, climbing Mount Fuji and transportation to other places (Kyoto, Osaka, Tokyo). We asked for more information several times about travelling to other areas and the staff here were still happy to help and made sure we understood. The hostel is quiet so you don’t have to worry about not getting any rest and, they have a small balcony to relax and an area for board games! They have tea and coffee available as well. It made us appreciate the small details/ efforts. Would 100% recommend and stay again. Thank you!

The reason for my 7 rating is that I found the bed really uncomfortable 😟 the pillow was stone-hard and so high that I mostly slept without. The futon mattress on the wooden slats of the bed was very thin and uncomfortable. The private double room I had was so narrow thay I barely could unpack my luggage. Although I had a private room, the walls are so thin that I could hear everything from the dorm room adjacent to mine, from the entrance, and even from the outside (there are a couple of restaurants and I suspect there have been a few drunk people). The kitchen facilities are pretty basics and are just in the hallway, there's not a proper space to prepare food and tables to eat are also in the hallway. To wash up your stuff, you need to use the bathroom area sinks (only 2 sinks in total, often times they were busy).

Location is very convenient, 5 minutes walking from Gekkouji station (which connects you to Fujisan station and Kawaguchiko station) and there's an actual supermarket (rare find in Japan!) less than 10 minutes walking. Hosts are English native speakers so communication is seamless. Bathroom and showers were always clean. Conveniently cheap private rooms, aircon in the room and towels provided; I also very much appreciated that they allowed me to check in early, as I came down from Mt. Fuji in the morning and I really needed a shower and a nap 😁

The hostel located in 2F and no elevator, so if you carry heavy luggages, it could be very tired to bring them upstairs

Best location to see Fuji mountain
