Hostels in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan

It's near Mt Fuji station to access train & intercity bus, within walk range. I book twin room with mountain view, all good, very clean, tidy, comfortable, & quiet (very good to catch deep sleep after your busy day traveling). Bathroom, washtafel, kitchen are shared in very good condition & comes in complete amenities & tools! They provide free coffee, tea, homemade bread, block ice, & all seasoning for cooking. Very nice! *I forgot to capture bed & bathroom in empty condition, lol

The front desk staff were all incredibly friendly and spoke excellent English. The hotel's location is decent, quite close to Lake Kawaguchiko, but there are no buses after 6 PM. It's about a 20-minute walk from Kawaguchiko Station, and the roads around Mount Fuji are really tough to navigate, especially with luggage. The comfort of a hostel really depends on your roommates, and thankfully, mine were all lovely this time. However, having only two communal sinks for so many rooms on one floor seems a bit too few.

I was able to check in an hour early when i arrived here. The vibe of the hostel front is awesome - they have this relaxed bar/restaurant/couched seating area, where outside patrons and hostel guests alike can commune. I stayed in a mixed dormitory, and again that was great. Slept really well, felt safe, luggage was secure. Great location, too - not hard to get from the station if you have a lot of luggage.

Many people criticize this B&B, so I'll say a few fair words. First of all, the landlord is an auntie who speaks a little English but not Chinese. She chatted with me in English when I checked in. Because it's a homestay, there are many rules, such as no smoking, throwing towels in a bamboo basket after taking a shower, trying to be quiet after 11pm, washing dishes after breakfast, etc. I live with my son, and these rules are not a big problem for us, so I feel good overall. And because I checked in before 8pm, the landlord sent breakfast, including bread, fried eggs, grilled sausage, and salad, which tasted really good.

I used it with my friends. I am very satisfied! !! !! There were various places around sightseeing　　　　　　　　　　　　 There is a place like a cave under the Buddha statue.

Although the location is relatively remote, it feels very good to stay and it feels like a vacation. The shared spaces (living room and kitchen) are very spacious. Hygiene is very good, the surrounding area is very clean The scenery is beautiful, you can see Mount Fuji In the evening, I cook dinner in the kitchen and chat with my family and friends in the living room. It’s very formal! Will stay here again next time 🥰
