"After spending 18 days in various hostels around Japan, and hundreds of days around the world, this one had been my absolute favorite. The best sleep I have gotten on my trip and the breakfast was an amazing treat. Walking distance to most sights."

"Michael and his wife, Kotoha, are genuinely lovely people. They were incredibly warm, friendly and accommodating, and made me feel very welcome during my stay. The hostel itself is very well kept, exceptionally clean and tidy, with great facilities and everything you need for a comfortable stay. I really enjoyed my time here and would 100% stay again. Highly recommended."

"Very nice place with really everything you'd need. The location is also really nice, but restaurants in town close really early. Overall if you have decent sized group I totally recommend."

Really good guesthouse. Just over a year old it's in great condition.
Good bathrooms, good bunks and wonderful host. Took me to japanese drumming practice and I got to play with the group!
Plenty of restaurants in the area if you want to eat out but if you give the host a couple of days warning you may be able to cook and eat Japanese food with her.
About 10 min walk to Gekkoji station.
Note: The location of the hostel on the Hotels.com map was not the actual location. Make sure...

It is clean, quiet, comfortable and safe, located within walking distance from the train station, two convenience stores and an onsen. The staff was polite and helpful.

We enjoyed this property. It was a little difficult to find, but a helpful local gave us directions. It is off a main road and google maps did not like that! Some of the streets on the way are very tight - we managed to squeeze the Nissan X-Trail we hired right through. The property is close to Fuji Q and Arakurayama Sengen Park. It is just over an hour drive to Shin-Fuji station. Can recommend the italian resturant - La Luce - which is a 5 minute walk back up on the main road. We pre-registered...

Family of five. We stayed for 2 nights. We had a lovely large room. The beds were super comfy. Was a nice short walk to the station and restaurants. We had a lovely stay at Roykan Plum. Was a great at base to explore halcone loop wirhout paying the expensive prices around Halcone.

Family of four (with 8yo twins) stayed here in November 2025. It's a beautiful inn, comfortable and clean and quiet, with friendly staff and good food for breakfast and dinner. The bath is lovely -- staff help you book a time in the evening at check in, and it's available on a first come first served basis in the morning. Free shuttles up to Gora in the morning are also a bonus (although you'll have to get yourself to Asante in the afternoon/evening as they don't offer shuttles then). Overall a...

Awful guesthouse is conveniently located close to the station. I loved the bus that took us to all the different locations and the shabu shabu dinner was delicious. My only concern was that one guest was vegetarian so we should have had two cooking pots so that the pork liquid did not taint the vegetables. It made coking our meal difficult but it’s a very small concern. The kimonos and painting supplies meant that we left with many photos and memories of our stay. Highly recommend this...
