The hostel is really taken care of, especially for the design and people that are working there!
I liked all the details of the place and their café where to have breakfast.

老屋若是間下午茶店應該會很推薦來,當住宿的地方會有點累🥲
1. 房間都在2樓,淋浴及廁所在1樓,要一直上下樓梯。
2. 閣樓房型的隔音不好,能清楚聽到一樓談話及外面車子經過的聲音。
3. 通往閣樓房型的路線,高高低低的,很容易撞到頭。
3. 樓梯很小而且蠻抖的,搬大行李會很吃力,有點危險,可以放在一樓,但住宿人員不會主動告知。
4. 當天住宿人員臉很臭

Such a lovely stay - room was really spacious, comfortable, and private, bathroom was nice and clean, and shower was spacious and really nice. Loved the Fujiyoshida area, located 20min walk from the bus up to Fuji 5th station if you want to climb the mountain, and on and clear day you can see the mountain from the road. The bike hire for ¥500 per day was also great, bikes in good condition and we explored local spots. The cafe that is next door is really nice but seemed to sell out quick so get in early!

It was nice and traditional.
The stairs there very thin and steep but it wasn’t a big issue.

Lovely hostel, feels like a hotel with how nice it is. Beautiful fresh and clean rooms, lovely communal kitchen and lounge space. The location is great as the hostel is on the famous road up to Mount Fuji. It is quiet, peaceful and a lovely getaway from the busy city.

love the minimalistic decor, short walk from the station, adjacent cafe, friendly staff
the area was a little quiet in general, especially on Mondays and Tuesdays with many eateries closed, basic room facilities
4.5
The hostel was so cosy and pretty. We had our own rooms so it definitely didn't feel like a normal hostel. The staff were beyond friendly and greeted us everyday. The facilities were abundant and they even kept a nice warm fire going over night. Honestly felt like a cabin getaway. Conveniently located close to the station in a calm town. Also had an onsen, convenience store and cafes close by. I LOVED THIS PLACE 💘
Nothing, this place was perfect.

Traditional room with tatami and futon, really comfortable and perfectly cleaned. Location great as well, you walk into the street and on sunny days you can see Mount Fuji to the right. Train stations close (about 5 min walking time).
The staff were also really friendly and helpful.
An electrical outlet was not properly fixed in the wall when I tried to use it.
This wasn't something that bothered me but it's worth mentioning as it was a bit surprizing, the walls were really thin, you could here the other guests relatively easy and because of this they also provide ear plugs in case you need them (I didn't use them).

location
receptionist only start work at 9AM. We are not staying in the main block so you wont get to use any of the facilities in the main block.
4.5
property is clean and exactly as shown. great location for seeing the pagoda- short walk. coffee and tea is nice. bed comfortable. staff member was friendly and we were able to store our bags for morning before check in.
bike rentals are good value 500 yen/day but they are older bicycles- noisy brakes etc, we still enjoyed going around lake with :)
noise does travel in between rooms as walls/ roof are thin, didn’t bother us, just something to note if you are light sleeper- ear plugs provided.
4.5
Everything was lovely. Very kind and attentive staff. Warm interior and large, relaxing lounge area.
They also have a wonderful cafe next doors that I recommend.
Chureito pagoda is a 20 min walk from the property. The popular fujiyoshinoda view with mt fuji is right outside the doorstep.
Would stay again. Thank you :)

The house is just next to the main road, it's SUPER noisy during the night due to the traffic, feel like the cars may run over you all the night. Also, there is no elevator available

Quaint little location. Rooms are spacious, shared toilets are spotlessly clean. Staff are very friendly and helpful, and can give recommendations to the attractions in the area.

It was very nicely decorated, and smelt so nice! the room was bigger and more comfortable than I expected. the showers had shampoo, conditioner etc. nice sized common space with friendly English speaking staff. And they also own the cool cafe down the road.
It has shared facilities however they were clean and it was quiet so not a problem.
4.5
Decoration of all the place is amazing. Very nice. We feel perfectly in-between at home and in a design magazine.
Very nice staff and good advices.
Very clean.
Rooms are separated by thin panels and we can hear everyone around snoaring. Also curtains are not so strong so we got a lot of morning light, and I wasn't t so sure how the heater / ac worked so I was a bit cold.

Clean, good service and communication
over priced
