I am delighted with my stay! From the moment of arrival, I felt like I was in my grandmother's village thanks to the friendly and welcoming Kosei. The hostel is located in a great location, just a short walk from many mountain peaks offering stunning views of Mount Fujiyama. This has made my walks incredibly comfortable and I take with me a lot of beautiful photos against the background of the volcano. This house has exceeded all my expectations. Every detail in the house is made with love. It is an ideal place for travelers who are looking for a comfortable, affordable and welcoming place to stop. I will definitely come back here again and recommend this hostel to anyone planning a trip to Fujiyama Volcano! P.S. Kosei, special thanks for the bicycle, the second pillow and present! 🫶

This was by far my favourite stay on my Japan trip. The hostel is incredibly comfortable and peaceful located in a small, quiet village. The owners are very kind and easy to communicate with. I was welcomed by the owner’s wife, who was very kind and spoke English well, so it was easy to communicate even though I don’t speak any Japanese. I got clear instructions on how to check in, what to do in the area, etc. What really stood out is how incredibly clean the hostel was. The bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen, as was the kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked with rice, tea, sauces available for use. The convenience store is literally next to the hostel, so it was also easy to buy groceries and there was a microwave, rice cooker, hob and kettle all available in the hostel. The shower was great (amazing water pressure) and they had towels, as well as other cosmetic products available at the reception. The beds were large and comfortable and the room was a good size. Overall, I could not have imagined a better stay and for the price, it was definitely worth it. I only wish I could have stayed longer! I highly recommend this hostel!

Nothing

A cozy guesthouse, aesthetically pleasing.the woods maybe using pine wood which make it like a muji concept house. A fully equipped guesthouse where u can use the kitchenette except that u have to bring your own ingredients on what to cook. There is also washing machine, dryer, 2 bathrooms which the space isn't so compact so that u can move around freely,not touching the wall😅. I love the location. Situated on a quiet housing area, just nearby the konbini, train station and Aeon. Coming from trip at Tokyo, this is what we need. A serene and peaceful stay. The owners also kind husband and wife, with cute daughter. Overall , it was a homely stay here.love it.

I think there was nothing i didn't like about this guesthouse

The hostel is beautifully restored and has all the necessary stuff. It felt more as a home than as a hostel. Though it’s located in a small town, you can access the train very easily and you can explore around Mount Fuji. The owner is truly amazing and so kind. I would definitely recommend this hostel!

The door to the bedroom could shake during the night because of the wind or when other doors opened/closed, which made quite some noise. Luckily it was not busy, so we would just leave the door open.

We stayed in two of the rooms (we had to switch at a certain point because we decided to extend our stay) and both were clean and well crafted. The owner did a really nice job designing the hostel. It was close to the train! It's a small town so there was only a few things that we really needed to walk to. At the gelato shop by the train station there are electric bike rentals. We took them all the way down to Miho no Matsubara and back! If you walk past the train line and towards the water you can access a path along the coast and can see the tetrapods and surfers- amazing! Definitely go to the restaurants recommended by the hosts. We had some really nice encounters and meals. Very safe- we biked home past dark from Miho no Matsubara all the way back to Kambara and didn't have any problems.

It's my favourite hostel in Japan so far! It is small but cozy. The Japanese futons are nice. The kitchen has everything that you could need. The sleeping cabins are very big! Kosei, the host is friendly and helpful. Staying here feels more like living with your friends rather than staying in a hostel with strangers. A convenience store is right behind it and the train station and the supermarket are just 10 min by foot. I would definitely come back!

The owner and family are very welcoming and friendly. 10 min walk from shin kambara. Though the check in and hostel are at different places, it's only a minute away. Individual space is large enough to have all the bags fitted in your space. Family Mart and Indian food is just behind the hostel

The only downside is that the pavement to the hostel is gravel so with luggage, I had to carry it.

The property is cute, well-designed, recently renovated, impeccably clean and functional. There are only three rooms with bunks available in the house, but the rooms are rather spacious compared to most we have stayed in in Japan. The bunks were sturdy and well made and the futon was more comfortable than most we’ve slept on. The air-con in the room is much needed in Japanese summers and the kitchen, although small, is good enough for prepping quick meals and is impeccably clean like the rest of the property. The showers are also fantastic and the bathrooms are great too. A wonderful place to stay overall. The owner, Kosei, is also very kind, welcoming, and a lovely person to deal with.

The only minor inconvenience is that the location is 700 meters away from the nearest station which is a little far with heavy backpacks, but it wasn’t too bad.

Beautiful location in a town with many historic Meiji era buildings, only a short hike to some fantastic views of mount Fuji. The hostel itself was very nice too with a well kept garden. The owner was also exceptionally enthusiastic and helpful!

It was a bit confusing to find the check in shop, I may have been missing something.

Very nice hosts, a peaceful accomodation for a good price. I really liked the style of the rooms and the hostel itself. It has two showers and two toilets which is great than just having one for everyone.

Maybe its just something to be aware that the alide doors of the hostel rooms are quite loud but its super annoying. Everything else is great its very clean and tidy.
