Being right across the bus/train station is very helpful for travelling to and from Kawaguchiko and getting tourists buses for sightseeing. Staff are friendly. Even though the station and street is chaotic during the day it was quiet at night (late May). We stayed in a room with a window that looked out to Mt Fuji. Good value for money, shared facilities were clean and looked after.

Though we knew it would not be a large space, 2 adults and 2 children was a tight squeeze when the beds were out but most of our time was spent exploring the area anyway

We really enjoyed the cheerful staff and the effort they went to when we asked them for help with anything. The location is great with a stunning view of Mt Fuji from some of the rooms. Also being so close to the main transport hub of Kawaguchiko was very convenient. It's a lovely little place and kept very clean.

If they create/renovate a modern Café diner with their tired old 80's style restaurant there currently they could get some additional revenue and have a menu with extra choices. To be a guest and have at least one good meal a day where your staying goes a long way with quality of service.

Brilliant location, warm welcome just like home away from home. Great view of Mt Fuji, walking distance to everything including the car rental companies and those places to rent bicycle to ride around the area. The owner is personable, down on earth. He makes EXCEPTIONAL COFFEE. We love their breakfast though it's simple but yummy. I would stay again!

Nothing, you need to know this isn't a five star hotel but it's well-priced, well-placed, well positioned hotel. You shall get a comfortable stay here

This hotel is incredibly convenient, located just across from the bus and train stations. The room offers an authentic Japanese-style experience, with a futon placed on the floor that’s warm, clean, and cozy. Daily housekeeping and fresh towels were a nice touch. The staff were friendly, helpful, and communicated well in English. Facilities included shared bathrooms, private showers, public baths, and even a Japanese-style hot spring, which added to the experience. The shared toilets were slightly inconvenient but manageable. Highly recommended for travelers seeking a genuine Japanese stay!

This is the second time I stayed at the hotel because the hotel is so close to Kawaguchiko station, opposite the station on the right side. The main door and the signboard of the hotel is quite hard to recognize the hotel. There is a small onsen bathroom in the hotel with nice view of Mt. Fuji that I really like. The hotel is very kind to allow us to check in late and lend me some Japanese two-pin plug. Besides, the hotel is not so far from Kawaguchiko lake (10 minutes). The room is clean. Would recommend to stay.

No things

Onsen on the top floor with mount Fuji view. Even though it was summer we went in, especially good after the mount Fuji hike. Cute rooms in japanese style. Nice room amenities. Great location.

There is a common shoe storage at the reception since guests change into slippers. Someone took my shoes one day, luckily they were returned later on, but we got the impression the security cameras actually didn’t work since the receptionist dismissed our request to check them to see who took them.

We liked everything about Kawaguchiko Station Inn and hopefully, we will be back one day! The owner/main receptionist was the best, provided us with a hose for cleaning our shoes after a very rainy hike as well as pointed us to where the washing machine was. Apart from that the rooms are so authentic and feel so nice to have a change from nice hotels in Tokyo. There was a matcha tea set in the room as well as super nicely fitting robes in the room for the gender-separated spas upstairs. The location is superb in front of the train station or buses for Mt. Fuji hike. The beds we made ourselves were very comfy.

There's simply nothing bad you can say about the place, thank you again for everything!!

The location is great. It is across the street from the train station at Kawaguchiko, where you can take the bus to Mt. Fuji (Yoshida Trail side). Also, even though the check-in was from 14:00, you could contact the staff and store your luggage with them if you want to arrive early and start roaming around. The room was nice and spacious and the AC worked really well. There was a TV where you could watch basic channels. Outlets to charge your electronic devices. They provided us with a disposable toothbrush and toothpaste. They gave us water and an electric tea kettle.

I don't like shared bathrooms so much, but it was very clean. I just like to bath in private. However, the location was so convenient and just for a night. Also, they do have private baths. I didn't know that, so next time I will ask about it in advance.

Perfect place to explore Kawaguchiko. The hotel is just in front of the stationso its very convenient to arrive and to move around using buses, the staff is very helpfulm helping to plan plaves to visit around the lake. The views from the room are amazing (if you get a good day), you will see the mt fuji and the station from a perfect perspective. There is also public bath on the top of the building.. again the views from fuji are the best.

Nothing

Excellent location - it is located right outside Kawaguchiko Station. As the weather was bad (rain and foggy) when we visited, we were very appreciative that we could get in/out of hotels easily with our luggage. Lots of eateries around too. Hotel is basic, small but clean. You also need to make your own beds. There is no lift so you need to carry your luggages on your own but the lady at the counter was very kind to help me with my luggage. Shared showers and onsen are available at L4. Toilets are available at every floor. The price is fantastic so please do not expect luxury hotel standards - which is at least 4X the price. I was lucky to be given a room that faces Mt Fuji BUT unfortunately had no sight of Mt Fuji because of the heavy fog and rain throughout my 3D2N stay there.

Maybe to replace the towels? They are really getting old and thin.
