“Cozy Hostel with a Wonderful Host and Stunning Views”
We had a wonderful stay. The host was incredibly kind and always asked about our plans for the day and whether we had slept well, which made us feel very welcome. The hostel was charming, had everything we needed, and had a beautiful traditional Japanese atmosphere.

“Mt Fuji views and great host!”
The host was very informative, welcoming and had great recommendations. He picked us up and dropped us off at the bus station which was super helpful with big bags! The communal area had great views of Mt Fuji and everything was super clean. The location was great and walking distance from a lot of restaurants and a nice park.

“Beautiful!”
My favourite place I stayed on my trip. Michi made all the guests feel welcomed and also provided detail with the best restaurants to visits, activities to do around town, and made it feel like a proper guest house. He offered to all guests pick up and drop off to and from the station, and helped with booking any other buses. I had the most amazing views of Mt Fuji from my room and the living / common room downstairs. Felt like a very calm, safe and peaceful place to stay in. It was the highlight of my trip and he even gave me a birthday present on my birthday. Thank you Mixhi$

“Beautiful scenery”
The owner was very attentive and welcoming, and gave helpful advice. The hostel was also very quiet at night, so I slept very well. In the morning, I could see Mount Fuji from my window, and the nearby Lake Kawaguchi was also very beautiful.
