K's House MtFuji -ケイズハウスMt富士- Travelers Hostel- Lake Kawaguchiko

The location is about 20 mins walk from Kawaguchi station. We sent our bigger luggages to Matsumoto with Yamato transport and packed light for Hakone and Lake Kawaguchi. It’s a hostel vibe with common kitchen and dining / living room area for hangout but we booked a Japanese style room with private bathroom here. It was perfect for a couple, pretty spacious, clean and quiet during our 3 nights stay to sleep. For staying 3 nights, we got a free laundry voucher and were able to do a load of laundry, washer and dryer both worked fine. No comments on the bike as we prefer to walk around. Past the bridge and the north side of Lake Kawaguchi, you get fantastic views of Mount Fuji at various locations.

Lovely hostel near Lake Kawaguchiko. The beds were comfy and had a small place to lock valuables, a light & an outlet. There was a big kitchen with everything you need and a big common area, so there was plenty of space to relax after a day of exploring. The location is perfect, close to a bus stop, a 2 minute walk to a Lawsons & a short walk to the lake. All the areas in the hostel were kept very clean, including the shower & toilets. We also got a voucher for free laundry which was great.

This place was definitely one of the better hostels I’ve been to. Rooms were a nice layout. Everyone was really respectful. Staff was always with a smile and more than happy to help. Everything was always very clean and orderly. Probably one of the cleanest hostels I’ve been to. Always very quiet and peaceful. Common rooms were nice as well. They also stored our luggage both before and after checkin which was helpful and organized.

Having spent some time in a very small hotel room in Tokyo it was great to have plenty of room. There was a nice lounge area where we could talk to other guests and a spacious l, well equipped kitchen. There was a great supermarket just ten minutes walk away (Ogden). Lake Kawaguchi was about 400 yards away where we got a great view of Mount Fuji. So long as you are ok sharing the facilities with other guests, I would thoroughly recommend this place. I should mention that we stayed in a private room rather than a dormitory. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

The staff were super friendly and the facilities were great - big kitchen with free supply of herbs and such for cooking, and the lounge area was so cosy and nice - I didn't know there would be a small traditional Japanese area with a kotatsu but it was wonderful to sit in there and relax while they played ghibli piano medleys on the speakers. It's also so close to the lake where you can get great views and do some of the touristy things like the cable car and boat tours. Just walk 5 mins down the main road and when you turn around, BAM there's the mountain in all its glory haha.
