Fujiyama Base

This was my 2nd time staying here after I adopted the woman who runs the hotel and the shop as my Japan oba last year, I remembered she loves hydrangeas so I stopped in Kamakura at Hasedera to get her a gift before seeing her because her birthday is in June. She's a very sweet and kind woman who doesn't speak English but is totally fine having conversations with translation apps. The property itself is in a great location right across from Mt. Fuji Station so it's easy to get to by bus or train from other areas, and has so many different things to do in the area. I stayed in a tatami room again which I enjoyed. I highly recommend renting a bicycle in the area as well to see more of fujiyoshida and lake kawaguchiko.

Run by the sweet lady in the shop on the 1st floor. She's very friendly when you take the chance to talk to her and don't let the language barrier get in the way. If you treat her kindly and with respect she will treat you like family, me and my girlfriend exchanged gifts and photos with her and made memories, she even told us to come back and see her again sometime when back in Japan. Felt like we got adopted a little. Hotel is pretty much across the street from the bus and train station, also close to a lot of food places that are open late, I recommend Gakidaisho Ramen about 2-3 blocks away.

A very small but efficient room for the night. It was an adventure with 7 adults!

Clean room, enough space, quick response from staff
