The area around the property was very pleasant, there was a great view of Mt Fuji (when clouds were not blocking it) and the owner of the hostel was possibly the nicest man ever.

Super friendly host and amazing Mt Fuji view

We had a great one-night’s stay, the host picked us up from the station and gave spot on tips where to eat in the area (amazing soba noodles on the westmost corner of Yagizaki Park). View of Mt Fuji from the room was spectacular, please see attached photo (we woke up at 4:30 am…)! Would give all 6’s if possible!

とても親切な宿主に感謝します。

とても快適な宿泊でした。 スマホ充電など備品も快く貸していただき、他のお客さんの要望にも誠実に対応されてとても良かったです。 ベットも広めのサイズで嬉しかったです。 とにかく行き届いた気配りをお持ちの宿主なので、不快な点が無かったです。 もう少し料金を高くても良いのではとも思います。

民宿老闆非常熱心,除了接送外,還會詢問隔天要去的地方,甚至幫忙看車子時刻表。雖然只入住一晚,但一打開窗戶就看到富士山非常滿意! 環境也非常乾淨,雖然離車站有一點點距離(用走的會崩潰那種) 除了距離外都非常滿意!大推!
