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.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely stay and Staff
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.

Ryokan near Kawaguchiko.
Would not be our choice hotel if it wasn't a last minute decision to stay overnight at kawaguchiko before our Mt Fuji climb. Basic facilities but excellent staff they have. Very friendly and accommodating.if you are looking at budget hotel, will recommend this.

Staff awesome and great view of Mt.Fuji
The staff when I arrived after long train ride and being poured on from rain all day were super friendly and got me set up in my room very quickly. They also helped me find out the information I needed to explore the area for the next day. In the morning the room offers a great view of Mt. Fuji and is only a short walk from the train station so you can get where you want to go easily. Many restaurants are only a short walk away so yo won't have to go far to find a good meal. This was my favourite place to stay on my trip to Japan and I would recommend it to anyone looking in the area.
