Best Hostel, Best Staff”

This hostel is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at!!! The place is beautifully designed. The beds in the dorm are comfortable. I love the Munchies area downstairs. Everything is super clean. The staff is awesome. Special thanks to Shiori and Masa for being amazing while I was there for my birthday. I personally love the location. It's right at the end of the red bus line. Which means you aren't in the heart of town, but can easily get into town if you rent a car or get the unlimited bus pass (recommended). I will absolutely stay here again when I return to Kawaguchiko!!! Also, try the ZaZen meditation while you're there.

Most memorable stay”

It’s a newly build and homey hostel. Staffs are very friendly and shows great level of hospitality. Bed is small but clean and comfortable. But do note that it is located at the end of the red line bus which is oishi park. So at night there’s not much to di since it’s in remote area. But for me it’s an exchange for relaxation inside the hostel and they provide movie night everyday. They also provide free shuttle to kawaguchiko station every morning and afternoon. Shout out to Shota for being extra kind in his service! I will come back in the future!

It would be nice if the TV in the game room can also be used to watch movies or even just the local channels. Other than that, it was a very nice experience. The location was perfect! You can see Mt Fuji by the window. I’m thinking of coming back.

Frustrating experience with staff”

First of all, please note that the hostel requires you to check in by 10pm. We arrived at 1130pm because of bad weather and only realised this when we opened the agoda app to check (connectivity wasn’t great on the road). So by the time we arrived, the whole place was dark. One of the guests informed us that the staff was in a particular room. We knocked on it and could hear shuffling in there but nobody answered the door. We tried for about 20min and eventually called agoda for help. Agoda also tried calling the staff (we heard the front desk phone ring) and eventually told us there was nothing they could do that night and suggest we stay in another accommodation as it was getting late. As I was doing a three point turn out on the narrow street, a male staff came out and stood at the entrance. He was just staring at us and I had to wind down the window and ask if he could let us check in. He said yes. We were relieved but also found it strange that he did not come out when we knocked on his room door. During check in, he said we could park beside the building because of the bad weather, but asked if we could move the car to the designated parking lot the next morning. I agreed and asked what time. He said 8am. I set my alarm for 730am the next day to wake up to move my car. When I went down, I saw the same staff shovelling snow outside the building. I told him that I was going to move my car, to which he replied that it was okay to leave it there. At this point I’m extremely frustrated with this staff’s behaviour but since I was checking out that day I did not wanted to start a fight. However this really ruined our trip to Fujikawaguchiko and left a very bad impression of the area. Also, while I acknowledge that it was my fault for not confirming the check in time, I hope that this important piece of information can be made more obvious to future guests.

They have one grocery store with limited goods but if you know how to cook you can make plenty meal. The kitchen is great. I really enjoyed working in the game room down stairs.
