We loved the room we stayed in, everything was very tidy and well organized. The Host also lent my friends and I a few bikes so that we could better explore the area. The Host also clearly labeled any and all instructions we would need for the house (like the shower switch) which made our stay super smooth.

The traditional Japanese room and bed was super comfortable, cozy, and beautiful!

The restaurants nearby are sometimes closed even though according to Google, they should be open. (But the owner wrote it down in the info already).

The owner and his wife helped us in different ways. Even with a health issue. The owner built a perfect ofuro (Japanese bath) on the balcony. It was highly appreciated. There is a Lawson in walking distance.

Nothing to say.

It’s a charming and unique Japanese house, incredibly cozy, and offering unforgettable views of FujiSan. We slept on futons that were exceptionally comfortable. The apartment is well-equipped with everything needed for a pleasant stay, including a fridge and a microwave. The highlight was the owner, a kind and friendly gentleman who assisted us and offered excellent advice on local excursions. He even provided bicycles so we could easily explore the town center. Truly a highly recommended experience.

The owner with his wisdom, service mindedness and bicycle - as well as the location - were exceptional and made for a perfect stay at the foot of Mt. Fuji. Couldn't have been better!

This is the perfect place for those who seeking a calm and peaceful staying in such an over tourism city like Kawaguchiko. It is such a good experience to in this Japanese traditional style room and I could get a panoramic view of Mt. Fuji just right at the room window. I also borrowed a bicycle to go around the lake and visit some nearby towns. The hospitality I had got from the host is really exceptional. His warm welcoming and thoughtfulness make me feel relaxed during my stay. I will be happy to stay here again, if I have a change to visit Mt. Fuji.

This place located a bit far from train station BUT the place is so serene, clean, comfortable with mount fuji view and traditional japanese concept bedroom futon style. Furthermore the owner hospitability is so kind and friendly. He explained to us briefly about the house rules and information that we need to know and also kindly offer us a ride to train station after we checked out. Let me remind you, as this place a bit far from the train station, you need to take bus to go here. Also there is washing machine with fee for you to use at the accomodation but you need to let the owner know first. The bathroom and toilet are outside your bedroom, it's shared with another bedroom, so if you are muslim girl, don't forget to bring your instant hijab unless you book 2 bedroom altogether so you will get private bathroom and toilet. I like this place very much, at least should go for 3 days 2 nights if you consider to stay at mount fuji area. Also there's also bike if you want to do some cycling activity!! There're lawson, hoto fudo restaurant, vegan friendly cafe nearby the accomodation around 1km-1.5km. Bonus: a cute kuro live there🐈‍⬛

Location, bedding, free bike rental, the host and his cat.

Nope. all Good. but the local bus to the stay not as frequent as tourist bus line. Just need to take note and plan in advance.

I like the location and the meticulous host. He explained everything in details upon checking in and you labeled all the facilities with clear instructions (translation). There’s free bike to use and also electronic bike for rental at a very reasonable price (the bus fare in Kawaguchiko quite expensive)

What did I like? It's a difficult question...Where to even begin! A magical stay at the house of a Shinto priest, the 27th generation of their family's religious practice. We feel truly honored to be hosted by him. And who would have known that a Shinto priest would also be a master of Booking? Oh btw he also has a sweet cat called Kuro. He had prepared the room so spotlessly clean and so wonderfully proper, and offered us his bicycles to go around. Definitely recommend!
