It is a bit further from the usual area so there are limited bus options, but the accomodation provides a shuttle to the nearest bus stop. The place itself is beautiful and has an excellent view of Mount Fuji. It was very cozy and relaxing with, staff was super friendly, food was good and the restaurant had a nice cozy ambiance. I definitely recommend this place for a stay at Kawaguchiko.

Excellent guest house for staying overnight to see Mt.Fuji when you wake up from the window. There’s private onsen for free for 40 mins per group. Delicious dinner and breakfast are also available at the place so just ask the host when you reserve. There’s also free pick up service from Oishi park.

We spent one night at this guesthouse while travelling from Kyoto to Tokyo by car. Very nice owners, friendly and flexible with our wishes. Communication in English was possible without problems. The Onsen usage was free and the Japanese dinner that we ordered spontaneously was very nice. If the weather permits it, you will see Mount Fuji directly from the eating room and possibly (depending on your room) even from your bed. Would clearly recommend this.

Lovely location with a beautiful view of Mt. Fuji and an onsen. Amazing hosts that drove us to to the bus stop in the morning after check-out so we could get to the bus in time. Would stay here again!

The lodging can be a bit hard to access if you do not have a car. It is a fairly long and uphill walk from the main road, and the path is dark at night, so you will have to rely on the owner to drive you in and out from the property to the main road for your sightseeing activities.

The owner and staff were very nice and accomodating and the meals were reasonably priced and delicious! The lodging has a very cosy and homey feeling so it will feel like a second home. Not to mention you will get a great view of Fuji from your room if the weather conditions are favorable.

If you intended to check out as early as 7 or 8 a.m you better use a car or bicycle. It isn't easy to find a taxi or other means of public transportation before 9 a.m. In our cases, the owner drove us and other guests to our intended bus stop or Kawaguchiko-station at 9.30 a.m.

Delicious food also great hospitality from the owner and staff. He recommended several scenic spots around Yamanashi and helped us to plan our trip.

Walking and should not put kawaguchiko station as fetching place if transportation service is not consistent in that place.

We couldn't be more pleased. Hosts Taka and Elisa are extremely gracious and helpful. They have a large van to take you to transit stops. Taka is also the chef and his dinner and breakfast score highly for both taste and photogenics. We are vegan and that was not an issue for them. The location is very peaceful and has great views of Fujisan. It isn't too remote from sightseeing locations which are easily reached by a good network of local buses.

The wife seems like she really no longer want a guesthouse and made us feel uncomfortable in everything we did. You must order dinner by 5pm, we arrived at 5.20 pm with 2 children and they refused to provide dinner, later offering us to buy some ready pots of noodle. She then made us sit in the restaurant in the dark. Consistently providing rules and scornful looks. The restaurant area is 'closed' for most of the day. Breakfast can be at 7.30 or 8. No other options. We kept going in there to play with the toys and she would come in and close the blinds, turn off lights etc, her husband would then come and open them again! Every day she would tell us we need to leave at 9.20am, including check out day when check out is at 10. Weird. We didn't, we wanted to relax. If you want to relax don't stay here.

The place is a real tale of two halves, it could be absolutely incredible. They have thought of so much, especially families with children. Providing toys, children's slipper and even a cot in the onsen room! The views are incredible, mount fuji from everywhere, the bedroom, breakfast and the onsen! The husband is really lovely and provides a lift to and from the local bus stop as the accommodation is up hill.

We were told to request breakfast upon our arrival but when we did the lady said they were too busy. We only saw one family having breakfast the next day.

The onsen was really nice.

Host were not flexible. We were three people with one child who is three years old. They didn't even inform early that we have to order breakfast ta day before. They didn't even offer us breakfast stating that we have to inform them early. There were no any restaurents around. Child was hungry till morning 09:30am. I would have not said anything if it was just two adults. I believe host should learn to be kind with people.

I really like the place it was clean and warm.

Nothing - however without a car it would have been difficult to get to.

A beautiful family home, with comfortable, practical and quiet rooms. The onsen is gorgeous, and we were able to book a private session. The breakfast (for extra cost) was excellent value - it’s huge! The views are amazing - we could see Mount Fuji from our window.

The owners were very kind and helpfull, they let us go on the terrace to shot photos on Fujisan at sunset. A nice meal at dinner. Private onsen included with large bathtube.

Unfortunately we were disappointed by this hotel. It was our final hotel of our trip and I really was looking forward to this experience. The view of Fuji is breathtaking but sadly I felt the owners didn’t really make us feel that welcome. I felt like I was burdensome to them when asking for a lift (the property is not near any public transport and buses to the main town end around 6pm) They also had no washing machine, and the fridge was out of service. For the property being so far away from any amenities you’d think this would be a priority to have a working fridge and somewhere for guests to wash their clothes. I wished the staff had been a little more friendly and gotten to know us. We were tired and just wanted the homely feeling which sadly we didn’t get.

The view is amazing and we really liked the use of the onsen in private. The room was clean and the food served was nice.
