Backpackers Hostel K's House Mt.Fuji

Great place to stay! They allow you to leave your luggage earlier than your check-in time, and nearby got a few walkable restaurant that open until late. Bad part may be is just you need to walk for around 21 minutes (1.4 km) to kawaguchiko station, but it’s still acceptable, or you actually can take bus to there. Other than that, the room is quite small for us, although we have booked a family room, but the price is fair for that. Overall is good 👍

This hostel is good in all aspects, Location, cleanliness, price, service everything! It's around 15 min walk from Ropeway and around 5 min walk from park where you can watch Fireworks in night. It is also surrounded by various restaurants of different taste. Staff is courteous and assists you the moment you enter the premises. They have cafeteria as well and a Drawing room kind of area. They also offer Towels and other basic items in case you missed to bring.

Great stay! The house is within walking distance to Kawaguchiko Station, Lake Kawaguchiko, and a convenience store. The location is peaceful and offers beautiful scenery. The house is spacious enough for four people, with a private toilet and shared areas like the kitchen, dining area, and hall. Everything was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

This hostel is about 15 min walk from the train station. There is a bus stop near by where you catch the bus to town or around the lake to visit the attractions. The hostel is very clean. The kitchen and common areas are spacious. The provid free coffee and tea in the morning. Laundry is available with a fee. Staffs are very helpful and friendly.

Overall enjoyed my 2 nights here in Kawaguchiko area. The best part of the hostel is the spacious and airy lounge with a huge kitchen attached next to it. The lounge was the best I’ve seen in a hostel with all the amenities you might need. It was such a good spot to chill after dark when there isnt much to do in the area. There were people having an impromptu drink sesh at night which was unseen in other hostels I’ve stayed in Japan. Now onto the room. The bed and sheets were all comfortable and clean so no complaints there. But it is a bunk bed meaning you lack privacy which you can find in a capsule hotel or other hostels with a curtain. In terms of noise, everyone i met during the stay were civil and had manners which meant there was not a huge noise other than snores. In terms of rules, there was a small incident in the laundry room. There was a girl who was waiting to have her laundry done around 9-10 pm simply because there is only one machine in the entire hostel. So inevitably there will be a queue. And this white guy appeared from the room next door and somewhat aggressively told the girl it was too late for laundry as he was getting ready to sleep, when there was a clean sign put up by the owner the laundry can be done until 11 or 12( cant remember exactly) but he had the audacity to impose his own rule onto the girl which I thought was incredibly rude. I understand he is in the room next door and the sound can be disruptive but he could have been more polite and the girl was doing laundry in line with the rules. The location was okay. A short ride to bus stop and near some sights by the lake but u do need to get on a bus to get anywhere. Overall, a pleaaant stay and would recommend it to solo travellers.

A 20 minute walk from the station. Rooms were comfortable and quiet, however some areas were very dusty, and the laundry machines next to our room were quite noisy at times. Big kitchen and common area with everything you need. They play nice, chill jazz music. Only one shower and one proper toilet per floor.

I would have given a higher rating as this is the cleanest and most well-equipped hostel I have ever stayed in. The private rooms exude a lovely Japanese vibe, and the kitchen is always spotless and well-equipped. However, our experience on the last night of our 4-night stay was disappointing due to poor handling of an issue. The heater in our room was not working, and with nighttime temperatures dropping to 4 degrees, heating is essential, especially as we were sleeping on the floor. Initially, the lady at the reception was helpful but ultimately stated that the heater couldn’t be replaced and suggested we use the AC, which only heated the top of the room while the floor remained cold. When we asked for a proper solution, she reluctantly brought an old heater with a smokey smell and advised us to open the window every 2 hours—even at night while sleeping. When we requested further help, her attitude changed, and told us to sleep wearing a jacket. She became dismissive, remarking that no one had ever complained about this issue before and that this isn’t a 5-star hotel, before leaving her shift. This level of service, especially in such cold conditions, is unacceptable. Also the wifi was pretty bad, especially in the rooms.

Great experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. Also the rooms were comfortable by hostel standards. The highlight was the common area. Very cosy and encourages spending time with other backpackers! Also it's a close walk to the lake and very accessible from Kawaguchiko Station. Would come back here.
