Mt Fuji Hostel Michael’s

in my language this is called "சொர்க்கம்" Liked · This is first place staying in japan. I booked one bunk bed on this hostel for climb Mt Fuji Day Trip, Here is the spectacular view from balcony i have been watching even after trail mt fuji. Everything in the place was very clean. Bus stops, train station Conveinent stores, restraunts and laundry are limited and very nearest and walkable. There is no noise pollution in this area even bars and pubs are nearby. In night place is very calm i just heard sewer water flow and cricket sounds. Owner Micheal, Staffs are kind, helpful and beautiful. Disliked · I couldn't say that I didn't enjoy it. In the future, try to allow late for check-in. It will be useful in the event of an unforeseen visit.

Loved our stay! Rooms were clean and quiet. Free coffee and tea. The hostel helped me get my bag back from a restaurant after hours- so helpful. Thank you so much! Highly recommend

The hostel is in a very good location for anyone planning to hike Mt Fuji, with easy access to transport and nearby amenities. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and provided detailed advice that helped me plan my hike smoothly. They speak fluent English and Japanese, which made communication easy and stress‑free.The main drawback is that luggage and personal belongings cannot be stored on‑site, which can be inconvenient if you’re travelling with large bags or arrive before check‑in. If you pack light, this won’t be an issue, but it’s worth keeping in mind when making arrangements.

Hostel is located at a short walk from Gekkouji station, there is a grocery store and Daiso nearby, vending machine also right outside the hostel. Staff was extremely nice and welcoming, also very knowledgeable about Mt. Fuji if you plan on climbing it, they helped us with the different busses we had to take and have multiple timetables available. They have 2 dorm rooms that fit 10 people and 2 private rooms. During our stay the dorms had about 5 people at most. There is a communal fridge/toaster oven/ microwave/ water cooker available to use. Be sure to label your food when you put it in the fridge. There are also lockers that you can rent that fit a large backpack and then some! Facilities were all very clean and well maintained, they also offer a laundry service for ¥500 (washing and drying). Everything is also really well labeled and had an explanation in multiple languages!

Mt. Fuji Hostel Michael’s is a family-run hostel that is spotless and really cozy. The owners speak perfect English, so communication was easy. They were very helpful with signposting to relevant locations and giving tips for climbing Mt. Fuji. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to anyone.

A nice base to explore Mt Fuji out of - close to a 7-eleven and Selva supermarket. Clean rooms - a total of 3 dorms of ~10 beds each and 1 private room. Civil folks stay here. There are quite a few rules at this place, but they seem to work to keep the place tidy and comfortable for everyone. The check in hours are very strict, it is not possible to check in earlier than 10 am. There is a code you need to remember to get in after counter hours (sometimes closing at 6 pm). Train station (Gekkouji) is just a 5 min walk away, and it's easy to go to Chureito Pagoda on foot. Mt Fuji station is a 16 min hike uphill. Would prefer to stay here than Kawaguchiko

Cozy little hostel less than 5 min from the train station away, less than 20 min from the Shrine (for the Mt Fuji pictures). Important - make sure to arrive before 8pm, there are no check ins after that. I got a friendly welcoming and a quick guidance. On top of that super clean facilities (WC,Shower). It’s not so big as some other hostels, but it’s worth it. As soon as I’m back again, I will book this hostel without hesitation.

Brutal. The rooms are not remotely sound proof even in a private room. People were talking, girls laughing at full volume, rolling suitcases, Hair dryers …CONSTANTLY between 2:30-5:30am. Everytime it got even remotely quiet for 10 min someone else got up. There are quiet signs between the hours of midnight and 6am but no staff after 8pm to monitor anything. I got up at 4am to see what was going on and there were 4 people showering and making breakfast. I understand a bit of noise in a hostel but this was insane and I’ve stayed in alot of hostels. The staff was amazing at check in and attempted to help us choose some busses. Their English was perfect which was a bonus (obviously not expected as I don’t speak Japanese) but ultimately with that route it was very expensive. it was actually cheaper and direct to just taxi then all the train/bus schedules. so we changed plans anyways. The hotel cannot be blamed for guests lack of consideration but if you stay here you will not be getting any sleep and those 3h of buses the next day will be exhausting. Stayed here for the proximity to honcho street and the pagoda but I easily would have walked across town to avoid this. Also was unaware of the strong smell of the tatami mats. Thought it would be fine for a night but our activities today will be difficult on no sleep
