Cozy convenient relaxing unique”

Had a lovely stay at hostel Suruya, it is tastefully decorated in traditional tatami style made for a relaxing experience. 8ish min walk to the train station and close to many good food places. The facilities are clean and the staff are friendly. It has shared common space but was quiet. They have bikes you can rent 500 yen for the day, but some may need some servicing as the tires were quite flat and made it difficult to use. Loved our stay here and would highly recommend it!

Superb!”

Although it is a hostel where your room doesn't comes with own toilet but other than these everything is amazing. The famous photo taking spot with Fuji is just door step out from the main entrance. The common area has most of the facilities the guest might in need to use and the surrounding of the place itself also quite good to take photo. Overall just amazing and staff are friendly too! Be prepare to bring your luggage upstairs by self if room given is at upstairs.

The hostel gives cosy and natural impression. Thanks to white walls and spacious interior layout, the facility is capable of lots of fresh sun lights. The cute hostel perfectly fits the nostalgic neighborhood with breathtaking view of Mt. Fuji along the street. I cannot fail to mention convenience to visit many good places to eat and drink nearby.

Nice place and well-designed hostel to stay.”

Love the design of this hostel. Very unique and clean. Nice for budget traveller but may not work if you have small children or older parents. We stayed in the 2nd floor and a bit difficult to my mom to go downstair to go to the toilet during the night. Anyway, overall was great and clean and nice hostel to stay. Oh, another misunderstanding is this hostel is in a small town next to Kawaguchiko, so you have to ride the train for 10 mins from Kawaguchiko and walk for another 10 mins to get there. Not a convenient choice but the smaller town is also charming to see and explore.

Wonderful cozy and friendly accommodation ”

Rooms, staff, common area

My stay here was fantastic. The building is new and the sort of mix of traditional Japanese and Scandinavian modernism that Japanese (and I) adore. The room was a quiet and comfy tantami mat and futon room. The common area is nice, and the staff were great. Between the staff and a couple of their friends that swung by I had more exposure to local people than at any other point in my trip. The common area is also great for meeting fellow travelers. All in all it was my favorite accommodation in Japan so far. Highly recommend.

I love my stay but we got to the hostel a bit late. I advice you check in first and get settled since front desk is until 6pm. And if it gets late make sure to bring your own snacks/dinner since stores around the area closes early. It was a good experience and I would go there again if given a chance
