I stayed there in December and since then, I’ve been recommending this hostel to all my friends. I had a really good time. The location was perfect : right next to the bus stop and the lake. The rooms were big, everything was very clean, the owners were really nice. It felt like I was at home ! One of my favorite hostels ever! I was able to rent a bike and bike from Yamanakako to Kawaguchiko and back. It was really amazing. When I come back to Japan, I will definitely come back. ありがとうございました〜🫶🏻

So far the best Hostel I have stayed in Japan. Super friendly owner with fluent english, the hostel is 1 min away from the bus stop , 2 min to 7/11 and 15 min to a big supermarket. The hostel is just a 2 min walk from Lake Yamanaka , which is less crowded than Lake Kawaguchi, but still has amazing views to Mount Fuji. The hostel is super cozy and you feel very welcome. The small kitchen is ideal for preparing easy and quick meals and the whole decoration is very warm. The bathrooms are very clean and the sleeping dorm was very big, so there was enough space to reorganise your luggage.

We usually do not really like hostel, but this one was a bit different.
Our private bunk bed room was much larger then expected and a small foldable table is provided. There is a large closet for backpacks and personal items.
The beds are incredibly comfortable, big and practical, home made and very strong, so it doesn’t move when the person on the top moves.
It was overall pretty quiet, and very clean in all shared rooms too. People were pretty respectful when we were here.
I got injured during my Japan trip, so they help me renting a wheelchair.
The bus stop is 1 minute walk from the hostel and the bus for Shinjuky Tokyo stops directly here !
Cons :
-Would be missing a complete sink upstairs
-The sliding doors downstairs are the worst noise problem. You can hear it open and close so clearly from upstairs, and when people use it repetitly after 11 am or very early at 5 am, then it got me awake and couldn’t sleep anymore.
-Not related to the hostel itself, but the cost of a one way bus to the hostel from fujisan train station is 700 yen, which is pretty expensive. Also, the first bus for Pagoda or lake Kawaguchi is at 7:44 am. So if you planned to get by the pagoda for sunrise, you won’t be able to make it. Also no taxi around. Note that the best place was lake Yamanaka anyway, so do not even bother to check out the awfully crowded lake

リビングがとっても素敵なゲストハウス
海外からの旅行客でにぎわう、リフォームバッチリでとても居心地よいゲストハウスです。
湖畔からすぐのロケーションで、オススメの飲食店や路線バスの乗り方などの観光案内もバッチリです。
オーナーの夫妻の親身に接する人柄のおかげか、集まる旅行客も落ち着いて楽しい方々ばかりでした。
客人の入れ替わりの風通しも良いので、長期滞在にもオススメできます。
のんびりリラックスしたい方、ぜひ遊びに行ってみて下さい!

A lovely experience hands down. The host lady goes out of her way to make sure you days are well spent. Rooms are well maintained and very spacious. Kitchenware is excellent.
