    everything was amazing

    an amazing experience. it's a family run business and it's kept very japanese right from the moment you approach the house. you have your privacy and no one bothers you. right upon check-in you get asked "what time would you like to have a bath?" the staff prepared the bath and what an amazing welcome.

    Hotel is close to the station, staff is very accommodating. Great value for money, the stay included hygiene products and room clothes for free, which we weren't expecting. Laundry facilities are convenient and affordable. Lounge area is cozy and neat.

    The bed was a little hard/thin for me. On my back it was fine. If you're a side sleeper then you'll possibly find it uncomfortable. Besides that I had absolutely no problem.

    Really great building, nice staff and very clean. 2 minutes from Shin-Fuji station which was really great. It's also really close to a Family mart and mcdonalds too.

    The drinking water facility can be improved by providing a bottle to the guests. Since most people stay here for a night, I think providing a bottle of water may be possible within the price. It takes some effort to go to the common area from the bed just for drinking water.

    It is just in front of the Shin Fuji railway station, less than a minute's walk, which makes it very convenient to reach after a tiring day and train journey. The beds were clean and comfortable, with sufficient amenities. The public bath was really nice, which you can have for free once during your stay. It's large so you can take a bath together with friends. The common lounge area is nice where you can seat and eat, meet others and listen to calm music.

    Nice for a night or two, not for a long time. If you can handle the paper thin walls, and dorm style living, you’ll love

    Very close to high way and you hear every car passing all night, all the time. So, need proper ear plugs. Bathing is only upon reservation which is a bit odd. I’d highly recommend to find a way to make showers more accessible at all times without reservation.

    Japanese style Ryokan, clean and nice feel.

    Being right beside the train station, the shinkansen/bullet train can be very loud all day. There was also siren of ambulance pretty often even at night. You can also hear the movements, voice and sounds of your neighbours next door. The sliding door of the room also doesn't closes fully. Also, it was my mistake for not asking but I had no idea where the shower room was because there wasn't any other shower room except for the large tub and pot tubs haha.. but overall it was an enjoyable stay.

    Lovely accomodation! The location is very very near the Shin-Fuji station, about 2min walk. The staff was really nice and friendly. They explained the facilities and showed me around during check in. There is also a Family Mart Convenience Store right in front and can see a Macdonalds down the road. Also love the tub that they prepared after I made a booking. Really fancy! The room was also what I imagined, a Japanese room almost straight out of an anime! The toilets were shared but were very clean. The reception area also served like a living room where there is a kettle, coffee, tea etc. There was also a lounge/reading area with my mangas and books free to read. I really enjoyed the ambiance and environment.

    The Shinkansen is close and rumbles through like a 747 but earplugs are there for sensitive sleepers. I must say I got used to it!

    Everything about the hotel was well thought out. Even a hand basin in the room, a small fridge and TV. Comfortable futons as well! The lounge is great with tea /coffee making facilities. Jiro the host is always around to help with anything and will happily run your bath. The small bathroom has a ceramic bath, beautifully designed and a lovely way to end a long day. It was great having such close access to the rail and bus stations for the everyday excursions to Mt Fuji locations.

    Its close to a street, hence a bit of traffic noice.

    If you are looking for a place close to the train station this simple and cosy place is just perfect. The private Onsen was wonderful!

    The beds are like capsules in capsule hotels which isn’t advertised. There’s a bedtime. You don’t feel that you have privacy.

    It’s cheap and neat the train station
