    Place was stunning, the bath was phenomenal, and location was great - I didn’t go to the lakes or anything but was such a lovely and peaceful place.

    Nothing!

    Best dormitory hotel ever. There are two mini-onsens that you can use by yourself but you have to reserve for them. The place itself is an old Japanese house so you will definitely experience some cultures here. There are two izakayas nearby so I just dropped by there. You will definitely love this place so do not ever skip this opportunity. P.S the dormitory rooms are a little soundproof so you don't need to worry a lot about other rooms when you are unpacking your luggage.

    Very far from the attraction area, public transport there are not very easy to access compare to Tokyo. The living room is abit cold and when you need to go to the toilet, the walkway is very cold

    The hot tub is amazing, especially during a cold day and sore legs. The place is few minutes walks from Shin Fuji station

    The traditional Japanese aesthetic and the staff were exceptional!

    It really had a “Ryokan” feel without the price tag that comes along with it! Also no food but that didn’t bother me, there was a convenience store close by and plenty of restaurants within a 15 minute walk.

    Staff was very kind and helpful. We arrived late and he prepared the bath for us. We didn't need to go to Ryokan to enjoy a Japanese inn and onsen. The place was clean and beautiful Japanese style house with tatami. The hostel was right next to the train station, that is a huge bonus for us when we overslept and almost kissed the train. We definitely will come again in the future.

    Not the fault of the hostel itself, but there aren't much activities in the city, and getting around Fuji attractions without a car is not convenient

    Owner was friendly and relaxed. The house has an authentic interior and is situated close to the Shinkansen. Noise from the Shinkansen was not a problem. The communal bath made this accommodation feel like really great value for money!

    Fuji is an industrial town—there’s not a lot to see. The only reason one would come here is because it’s close to the train station.

    Excellent staff. The manager was very kind and wished to attend to his guest’s needs. They provide a hot bath, very similar to a traditional Onsen experience (but without the constantly flowing spring water). The vibe of the house is very low key and relaxing. Right next door to the Shinkansen train station (and to see Mount Fuji on a clear day).

    was a lovely hostel a stone’s throw away from the shin-fuji eki, a family mart, and a wonderful ramen bar. kinoya hostel was welcoming and warm, and i stayed 2 nights in the dorms. the cubbies where i slept were a little small but still cozy, and i had a good amount of privacy with the sliding door. the onsen pot bath was lovely, prepared for me by who i assume is the owner or at least one of the key employees, who i conversed with in both japanese and english. he was kind and polite, and clearly passionate about his job. will definitely come back again!
