I loved the property cause it is a traditional ancient ryokan ran by a family for generation. The members of the family are really kind and welcomed me with kindness.

Nothing I did not like

Not your typical hostel or Airbnb – this is an old, traditional Japanese house situated along the main street in Fujiyoshida, just over 1 km away from Fujisan train station. Renting a car or bicycle is recommended for getting around. I arrived in the early morning after hiking Mt. Fuji, only to realize that check-in time is at 3 pm – my mistake. The house is managed by a son and his mother, who can communicate only in limited English. However, we managed to discuss my situation, and they allowed me to return at 1 pm for an early check-in. The entire property exudes a sense of history, and the summit of Mt. Fuji can be fully seen from the window of my tatami room (quadruple room), with its peak illuminated by the rising sun at around 5 am – a truly surreal experience.

Do not expect a standard modern experience. Otherwise, it's awesome.

Historical place to be in!! Run by a mother and son. AND I woke up not knowing Mount Fuji was right outside my window!!! The mountains Fuji few was a surprise that I would never forget.

The Google location is not accurate!

This place is a gem. The family is exquisitely kind and generous. This house has been in their family for 500 years! 🤯. This was my third time to hike Mount Fuji and it so happens that this was one of the locations pilgrims used to start from in the old days. It was truly embodying staying in such a historic location. Not to mention the rooms were traditional and quaint. The facilities were better than those in most guest houses. And they even offered to drive to the onsen when the taxis were busy. Absolutely loved my stay here.

There are too many houses on this street that look similar. At night I kept getting lost but that mostly my problem.

Bathroom is so great, and owner family is so kind that they offered me a drive to my next stop because of the rain.

Room was large by Japanese standards. The bedroom and bathing area very clean. Good access to start of Fuji walking trail.

In fairness, the room was part of a family household, so it felt that we were "accommodated". Finding the place was not easy for travellers without a vehicle, and it was poorly signposted on the street.

This is an amazing property with rich history.

Everything was great!

I must say that this was one of the most amazing places I have ever been. The family is so welcoming and you can fell their kindness and hospitality. I have a great time even though it was a rainy day. They offered me a tea when i was checking out for free in late hours and that is so kind and nice.

all was perfect. many thanks.

Our host was really friendly, he showed us around upon arriving. This building is really old, and is a piece of history itself, which makes it unique, almost like a museum. The room where we stayed and the bathroom is really nice. We stayed here at November, so it was generally cold in the building but the heater in our room made the room nice and warm in minutes. And the blankets were super warm. The location is really good, about 10min walk to Mt. Fuji station.

Nothing really, it was as described. The internet was not the fastest, but good enough for checking mails and social media.

Very attentive staff, I really appreciated the feeling of beeing taken care of. The bathroom is truly wonderful, with plenty of items free to use. You could come just as you are, they provide everything! (apart from clothing). I had the chance to hear about the history of the house from the owner who kindly offered to tell me about it.

I think it was already plenty amazing!

It's a 400+ year old INN with everything as it were originally, including a shinto shrine and sleeping in typical japanese room with paper walls on a futon. It's amazing! Location is very convienient: close to excellent bakery, forest and everything you might need, with a stunning view of mount fuji just outside of the house
