Backpackers Hostel K's House Mt.Fuji

An amazing experience! My first time in a traditional Ryokan and I couldn't be happier. The Fuji view is top-tier. Plus, there’s a great late-night snack spot nearby that’s both delicious and affordable. I was especially impressed by the staff, the place was spotless. Honestly, it’s the cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The only downside was that the bathroom was a bit too cold for my liking (since it’s a shared facility), but everything else was perfect I highly recommend staying here! I’ll definitely be back if I ever visit Fuji again

We are not hostel people at all, but here booking a private room with private bathroom was the perfect decision. Loved every single night here and we stayed for four nights. It was quiet at all times, very spacious with amazing shared facilities, laundry, an amazingly huge and well equipped kitchen, cozy hang out and dining space. Everything was spotlessly clean. The staff mainly long term volunteers did an excellent job. Love this concept. Great location as well . Only 5 minutes down to the lake or 15 min walk to the train station. We highly recommend this place and would come back again. Thanks for the great stay!

I absolutely loved this place, the staff and guests were all so welcoming and compared to the capsule hostels ive stayed at in japan this place really felt like a home. the kitchen was one of the best ive seen when its comes to hostels, it really has everything you need and is kept extremely organised and clean which I really appreciate! the location was very convenient if you dont mind a short 15 minute walk as it sits on a nice, quiet street perfectly in between the station and kawaguchiko lake! one of the things I really loved about this place is that they show you a map of the area when you check in and give you a list of nearby convenience stores and recommended restaurants that made my life alot easier because honestly my least favourite part of traveling is trying to research where to eat😭 and I must say the places from their list that I tried I can also vouch for! I also rented a bike from them on one of my days in Kawaguchiko and I was shocked at how cheap it was! I got the bike from 8:30am to 5pm for only ¥1500 which I found extremely reasonable, and i highly recommend doing this as I got to see so much more of the area than I would have if I only walked and used public transport! The only two complaints I had about Ks house was the bunk bed height and the unisex showers, it might just be because im a bit picky but I found that they had a bit of an overwhelming smell of B.O. occasionally which I have never experienced staying in an all girls dorm before but I understand that thats not entirely the Hostels fault. The other thing was that the bottom bunks aren't exactly tall person friendly lol😭 I'm a 5'10 women which I understand is very rare in Japan but just a fair warning for other tall people, maybe request a top bunk when you book or you might end up with a bruised head 😅 despite this, the bunks were extremely comfortable and I slept like I was back at home so I do appreciate that! Overall I highly recommend this place! (these photos are all taken just around the corner from the hotel)

This hostel is in a quiet area. It’s about 15 to 20 minutes walk from Kawaguchiko station. Bus service is no so frequent; I usually waited about 20 to 30 minutes. The plus side is it has a big kitchen and sitting area. The temperature in the dorm room with the heater that I was staying was perfect. I had good sleep for the 3 nights, when I was staying there. I do recommend this hostel for solo travellers.

Alright hostel. Toilets are clean enough, but there seems to be a perpetual smell of pee on the men's toilet. Showers are clean and are equipped with hair- and bodyproducts. Only 2 showers per floor, so it would assume not everyone gets the chance to use them during rush hours. Especially during peak season. Beds are alright. Thick blanket, which is very nice. You have to make your own bed, so keep this in mind, as you stay in dorm rooms with bunk beds. Though the beds are quite stable and don't make a lot of noice, its just not nice for the others in the room if you have to prepare your beds while everyone else is already trying to sleep. There are also no curtains. And instead of a duvet cover, you get another matrass sheet. So you'll basically sleep between two sheets and have to put the blanket on top. Could be a deal breaker for travelers with higher hygienic standards The common area and kitchen are all very specious

It was alright. Stayed here for one night and the room was really comfy, especially with the futon-style setup. The only downside is the location; it’s actually quite far from Fuji Station if you’re walking. I arrived Fuji station around 6pm and there were no buses available, so I had to walk since I couldn’t get a taxi. The next morning I tried booking a taxi again, but they wouldn’t pick up right in front of the hotel because it’s not the official pickup point, so I had to walk out to the main road. There’s a bus stop nearby, but the schedule is pretty limited, so it’s not very convenient if you’re checking in or out at night unless you’re driving. Other than that, the hotel itself is clean and comfortable. It’s also near to Lawson.

If you've been apprehensive about hostels as I had been, K's House will prove every fear you've had about them as being dodgy, unclean facilities wrong. I've stayed in two K's Houses so far and would gladly choose them again. The staff is great, especially a lovely fellow named Yuki who made my time there a most memorable and fun one; he deserves a raise tbh😉I found Kawaguchiko to be a charming little town and I highly recommend hitting up the Kawaguchiko Herb Hall which is a 13-15 minute walk away for some great souvenirs, and then heading down to the lake to enjoy some soothing views and snacks. Overall, a pleasant and relaxing stay.

This hostel is a great budget friendly place to stay when in Kawaguchiko. It is more than a kilometer away from Kawaguchiko station. Rooms are clean with sufficient beddings and maintained clean. At the groundfloor there is a common area where guests can stay and talk to other guests. A kitchen is also provided. Just outside the hotel is a great view of Mt Fuji.

Absolutely loved staying here. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The entire space gets cleaned once a day and we never worried about the common areas being dirty. The bed area was surprisingly spacious! We had two carryons and two backpacks that fit comfortably in our bed area without any issues. The staff was amazing at providing local food options (which we took advantage of) and local attractions. It's super close to both the train station and Kawaguchi Lake. We hope to visit here again in the warmer season as we came during January. Also, forgot to mention they were able to storage our luggage until check in!

Nice hostel with a rooftop deck for viewing Fujisan. Clean, with a great common area and perfect for cooking for yourself. Deluxe capsule was relatively quiet, comfortable, and large. This hostel is the sister property to the other K's in town. It's in a residential area, so a little further away from most of the tourist stuff, but I kinda like that about it.
