Backpackers Hostel K's House Mt.Fuji

I do believe I finally stayed at a hostel that I legitimately LOVED. I’m very critical of anywhere you have to stay with random strangers in the same room, and this was the best of this kind of lodging I’ve been in. I was downstairs in a room that had several other beds, but the way that the “bunks” are constructed means that there is practically no sound when people shift around in their beds, even in the ones directly above or below you. It was honestly a bit more similar in feel to a capsule hotel, as the space of the bed is very large (by Japanese standards, at 6’4” my feet were on the edge of the container which just can’t be helped 🤣) and all constructed of solid wood. I was able to do laundry for the first time on my 3 week trip and not just wash clothes in the shower, and the kitchen/dining area is large and super nice. The vibe was incredibly welcoming and it reminded me of the best aspects of some of the albergue hostels I stayed in in Spain, with some people leaving behind free cooking items, so there are basic spices, oil, and they also provide free coffee and tea in the morning. It really felt like staying at a friend’s house more so than a hotel, and I was able to sleep extremely well which was much-needed after having a cold. Highly recommended.

Stayed July 10-13. Overall, the hostel was very nice. It was clean and the vibe was chill but social, so it was easy to make friends. The staff is also very friendly, and I ended up talking and playing some games with them too. They also said it’s usually even more social! Apart from that, the location is really nice. Directly next to the Lawson, and only a short walk away from the lake as well. Only criticism I would have is that it tends to get quite stuffy in the dorm rooms and it would be nice if earplugs could be provided in case you get a snoring roommate. But would definitely come again

Loved this hostel. Great vibe chill out zone . Good walks to be had in the surrounds. Great kitchen. Towels are 100 yen. Free tea and coffee

Stayed in the japanese style private room with bathroom. The room was spacious with lovely views. Amazing location for the local festival and just a short walk from the gondala to views of Mt Fuji. Easy/safe access with convenient laundry. They were happy to accomodate late check in.

Clean, cozy, and very friendly staff. The location is perfect—close to Lake Kawaguchiko and the station. The common areas are nice for meeting other travelers, and the kitchen is useful if you want to cook. A great place to stay if you're exploring Mt. Fuji!

Stayed 5nights at 9bed dorm. The price and near Lawson, location also not bad for backpacker as walkable to rail station & bus station. Staffs so nice & communication easy. So far comfortable place and kitchen, common area also big enough. Good to stay

Free luggage keeping before check in time, an open space that allows residents to socialize. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the walk to the nearest park is only 10 minutes where you are welcome with a great view of Lake Kawaguchi and a whole view of Mt Fuji (if the weather is clear).

I really liked this hotel. It's near the Kawaguchiko station. Hotel has one big room for chatting, half-traditional, half-european style. Also 2 guitars, kitchen and small terrace for smoking or chatting. This hotel has everything you need. I'm looking forward to return to fujikawaguchiko. -

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.
