A very cozy and comfortable stay with an excellent location. You can see Mount Fuji right outside the door. The owner was very enthusiastic, offering tips on how to get great photos of Mount Fuji at different times of the day. Upon checkout, guests even received a set of beautiful Mount Fuji photos taken by the owner.

Posted onFeb 27, 2026|Japanese-Style Room For 3 People With 6 Tatami-Non-Smoking With Free Wi-Fi
Qixiang1111This is a very traditional Japanese guesthouse, conveniently located near JR Kawaguchiko Station. It features tatami mat sleeping areas, and there's a restroom on every floor. My only minor complaints are that the sliding doors can be a bit noisy and the futons are a little old. Overall, I recommend staying here.

The hotel offers a beautiful lakeside view directly in front of Lake Shoji, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere throughout the stay. Although the property is quite old, it is well maintained and full of charming vintage Japanese character. The service was warm and attentive, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious.
The location is especially convenient for travelers driving around the Fuji area, with easy access and a comfortable overall experience. We also reserved a private onsen for bathing, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Please note that the room itself did not include a shower — only a toilet — but this matched the traditional Japanese-style ryokan experience.
Overall, this hotel is highly recommended for travelers seeking an authentic, nostalgic Japanese atmosphere with beautiful scenery and genuine hospitality.

Guest UserEven though it's a ryokan-style hotel, the private room was quite large and spacious. It had its own bathroom and sink inside the room. The bedding was a futon on the floor, and yukata robes were provided. The shared bathrooms, separated by gender, were outside the room. They were large enough for 3-4 people to shower at once and could be locked. There was also a large soaking tub in the bathroom. But the view of Mount Fuji? Absolutely unbeatable! Especially in the morning with the golden light, Fuji-san looked incredibly beautiful.

Had a wonderful time at this hostel! It’s quite social and the people working there are kind and fun to hang out with :)
The kitchen facilities and common space are great. I loved the close proximity to Lawson, a supermarket and also the lake! I didn’t have time to rent a bike, but I like that they have bikes for rent. I also did laundry while I was there and that was very easy and the dryer was effective unlike some machines I’ve used elsewhere in Japan. The hostel is about a 20-min walk from Kawaguchiko station. There are bus stops nearby but the buses stop running quite early in the evening.
I stayed in a 9-bed dorm on the second floor and one thing that’s lacking is curtains for each bed. I think that would really help everyone’s sleep quality since the room curtains often aren’t closed at night (by other guests) and it would give everyone more privacy.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend this hostel to anyone visiting the area!

The hotel is run by an elderly gentlemen, so we couldn’t reach him by e-mail when we wanted to send there our luggage, so we had to send it directly to our next location. The hotel itself is in a rather old building, so it doubtfully will be up to the most comfort-loving travelers‘ taste, but it was clean and neat, and the view from the room was amazing 😍
On the down part, since the building was old, as soon as more lodgers arrived there came a stinking smell from the bathroom with was rather unpleasant.
Also I’d suggest bringing your own slippers, since the lodgers are required to take off their shoes right from the threshold as in the most traditional Japanese houses, so if you have issues with wearing slippers worn by anybody else before you, take your own.
The futon beds were very comfy, however the blanket was rather hot for the weather (we went in April).
All in all, you get all the most necessary things like toothbrushes, bathrobes, towels. For its price it’s very nice :)
And the location is 25 min walk from Kawaguchiko station, and the walk is very nice with view of Fuji-san from many streets.

Room type: Small European style hotel, there are tatami rooms in the room, some rooms have open-air or private style, and there are also loans and cut-out styles (chartered styles). [
• Landscape: Many guests like ”Sitting in the living room and seeing Mount Fuji”, the scenery outside the window is very good, suitable for punching in and relaxing.
• New and old equipment: the appearance of the building and the room are slightly old. Some passengers mentioned that the wallpaper cracks and the bathroom is slightly old, but the room is large and clean, and the equipment is complete.
• Note: There are many stairs, which is not suitable for people with mobility problems or pushing a lot of luggage.

Guest UserPerfect location with a view of Mt. Fuji right outside our window. The ryokan style accommodation was simple but very comfortable. The management was very trusting of their guests. You could purchase anything that is on sale and leave the money in a money box. They also provided free transfers to and from kawaguchiko bus station from 9 am. But because our bus to Kofu was going to leave at 9 am they were kind enough to drop us at 8:30am. We were very grateful.
If I could suggest any improvement it would be to have a bathroom in all blocks. Right now it’s only in blockB and one has to walk a short distance from the other blocks to have a bath. They could also provide a change of towels after a few days. It’s all right if you’re doing a short stay but not if you’re staying for a week or more with no towel change. But all said we would return to this hotel if we went back to Kawaguchiko.

From the room, you can see Mount Fuji. It is very fast to go to the shore of Hirano. If you want to see the morning sunshine in Jinshan, you can open the curtains to see the clarity of Mount Fuji today and then decide whether to go downstairs. There is a private bathroom in the room. The room is large and the hotel is not new overall. You have to carry your luggage upstairs without elevator. It takes7-8 minutes to drag your luggage from Hirano bus station to the hotel.

One of the characteristics of a traditional hot spring hotel is that the shower time is from 4 to 9 o'clock. If you don't pay attention, it will be awkward.
Among other things, the food is quite good and relatively average, but it is more difficult to communicate.
The hotel is relatively remote and there is no shuttle, but it is probably one of the hotels closest to Lake Kawaguchi. You can walk to Lake Kawaguchi in 3 minutes. The scenery is beautiful and you can see Mount Fuji directly.

He has special red slippers, they are so special
There is a convenience store across the road, how convenient is it?
If you have a car, there will be no problem. If you don’t have a car, there will be some inconvenience.
