I had a wonderful time staying here! The rooms were comfortable, and staff were very helpful. This place has a great personality, and I was sad to leave.

Very cozy stay during our trip to My Fuji area. Staff was friendly and helpful. A must-try for those interested in a more traditional type of room.

Very convenient, walkable to bus station. Got to experience traditional Japanese living, slept on futon on mats. Hostesses were very kind and explained how everything works.

We spent one night here when we were visiting Fuji. Really nice hosting we got. The house is full of amenities and the room is big enough for a family. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is coming here.

My experience here is similar to visiting a parents’ homes in Hamamatsu. It has an old traditional home feel. It feel overwhelming because there are just too many things to see inside (just like a typical home). The Apple Maps got me here right on the dot. Check-in is 3pm, so don’t be too early.

Awful guesthouse is conveniently located close to the station. I loved the bus that took us to all the different locations and the shabu shabu dinner was delicious. My only concern was that one guest was vegetarian so we should have had two cooking pots so that the pork liquid did not taint the vegetables. It made coking our meal difficult but it’s a very small concern. The kimonos and painting supplies meant that we left with many photos and memories of our stay. Highly recommend this accommodation.

We had a really pleasant stay here. It is located in walking distance from the train station where you can find restaurants and convenient stores. We were lucky because we got a free room upgrade because the guesthouse was not fully booked. The staff is very nice and helpful. They offered us a shabu shabu dinner which was really delicious. The Japan culture experience room is a great idea and was a lot of fun. Even though bathroom is to share, there are enough showers and everything was clean. Wifi was also good and sleeping on the Tatami mats is really comfortable. The only negative points we faced and should be improved are the smelly oil heaters and we had one smelly blanket which should be cleaned and checked more carefully. However, if we ever come back here, we will definitely stay again at Wafu Guesthouse.

When we woke up in the morning, we had a spectacular view of Mt Fuji. It was about a 5 minute walk from the train/bus station. The staff was VERY accommodating. Let us check in late (almost an hour after the desk closed - we gave them a few weeks notice), and held our luggage for the day after we checked out.

This is a gorgeous traditional hotel only a few minutes walk away from the Kawaguchiko train station. The staff here are super friendly and helpful, going out of their way to serve you when needed. Your room is very traditional with your bed being a futon. Whilst you can see Fuji from the balcony, you're also a 30 min walk away from some of the best views of Mt Fuji (of which the staff can tell you where to exactly go). You're also able to cook and do laundry here if you're staying as part of a longer trip in Japan and wish to do so. I would happily stay here again.
