Great location close to train station

Stayed in April 2025

The shared bathroom was the low point and since we visited during winter it was a bit hard to use the bathroom. But I have to say everything was very clean and well organized.

The experience of being in a traditional Japanese tatami room was amazing. Location was perdect and everything very clean.

The bunk bed moves whenever the occupant in the top moves

It is very near in Kawaguchiko Station. The room is spacious and the shared bathroom is clean. This is my second time here in Samurise Kura

Self check-in with passport scanning can be tricky; slow Wi-Fi caused issues for a guest, so avoid arriving too late.

Conveniently near the train station, clean Japanese-style rooms, and easy bike rentals nearby.

You can hear the neighbors if they are not keeping quite enough. Especially when people walk in the corridor.

Very easy selfcheckin. Super close to the Kawaguchiko train station and to the convenience store. Clean and sufficient facilities. Nice price.

Lots of foreigners making a mess due to the hotel not being staffed.

Wonderful location! Clean and beautiful room. Great for a stay while visiting Mt. Fuji

It was very cold there. The first air conditioning in Japan, what we failed to do, let the warm air blow. Very weak walls, could hear everything in the adjoining rooms.

In general we were satisfied.

Wish the futon was a bit more comfy and there was staff around.

Good check in system via ipad.

The mattress in the 'Japanese style room' is very thin and not very comfortable; the property is unstaffed and the check-in tablet was malfunctioning so check in was a bit tricky; walls are very thin, bring ear plugs.

Amazing location just next to the train station, very clean, super fluffy duvets, felt very authentic with the tatami floor mats, futons, etc.

Very clean and good location. You are able to do laundry with no extra cost 👌 Really good value for money.

The washing machine was a little bit noisy, i felt like I was waking up the other people in the other rooms as the sound transcended through the hallways despite the washing machine room door being closed.

I absolutely loved how convenient the location is. It was honestly so reassuring to know that my accomodation is super close to Kawaguchiko station. It was beneficial for me as I can leave anytime I want in the morning whilst avoiding the crowds and also could come home as late as I want. There are also lots of cafes and restaurants that are great walking distance. I went during autumn and the beddings and heater really warmed me up well and made me feel cozy. It was also good that there was self check in and self check out.

Self check in is a little complicated. I recommend to use your mobile to check in

Close to Kawaguchiko Station Self check in, you will not see any staff, just lovely massage in your room

Mattress pads were way too thin… Also dryer just got hot, not actually drying the clothes

Good location, large room, shared amenities were clean and useful.

It was a little bit cold on the floor.

Location is great! Everything is near. The style of hostel is like old traditional Japanese houses. The bed was comfortable and I liked the big blanket. There are few rooms so it's not crowded. The restrooms are clean and comfortable. Although you can hear your neighbors very well people were polite and didn't make noise

The only issue I has was that the futons are ridiculously thin. it’s like sleeping directly on the floor…

it was clean, and the room was spacious. Checkin was a breeze when you preregister and then use the tablet. Location was fantastic as it was 3 min from the train station and 10 min from lake Kawaguchiko.

The twin room is inconvenient, you don't have a place to put your things besides the bed as the bed is an upper bed, and in the "first floor" you got your desk and chair. I saw some dust and zmall stains on the towe

Clean and intimate little hostel. Feels like someone's house in a good way. Free amenities were nice. Staff is eager to help

parking is far

There was a significant difference in how pleasant and comfortable the rooms were, though the price was quite similar. In my rather small room, it was quite difficult to climb onto the bed (only top bunk) as the ladder was positioned right in front of the air conditioner. Only sanitiser outside the toilets, instead of soap and the tap didn't seem to work - though only a couple of metres away, the main bathroom sinks worked fine. Really not a fan of the half-covers for the duvets, which left half of it exposed and seemed very unhygienic.

The staff were very helpful, even though I never met any of them in person. Great communication through the Booking.com messaging system. My dad's room was really lovely and spacious, nicely decorated and only cost a little more than mine. Clean and useful facilities. Excellent location.
