Hana hostel is possibly the best accommodation we have ever stayed in! It truly feels like a home away from home. The second we walked in we were greeted by Hana’s husband, he helped us with our bags and gave us so much information about the property, the area, where to eat, where to park, what sights to see!! He was incredibly kind and helpful. The hostel room was massive, the beds were so cozy and clean. The toilets and bathrooms are spotless and we never had to wait to use them. They provide towels, slippers, extra blankets, heat packs to take out in the cold, toothbrushes and shower products. heating in the rooms, and also lots of free snacks! Hana and her husband are the most welcoming and kindest hosts you’ll ever meet. They also gave us the sweetest present. The location is also PERFECT, we had rented a car but it’s opposite fuji station. Couldn’t recommend enough!! Thank you!!

Absolutely nothing!

We are so happy that we chose to book this place. We stayed 2 nights and loved it. Comfy bed, clean rooms, showers and bathrooms. After almost six months of travelling this was an amazing place. Hana and Sato made us feel like we were home. And so we did not mind that we couldn't go out for a day because it was heavily snowy and freezing, we just stayed inside in the common area where you also can get some little breakfast. The place has a great location, super close to Mt. Fuji Railway Station which is very convenient to go to all of the spots you want to see in the area.

That we had to leave.

If you’re coming to Mt Fuji (Fujisan) you HAVE to come stay here and meet the amazing Hana-San and Satoshi-San. This by far was the best and most hospitable experience I have had in Japan. The accommodation is incredibly cute and has the homely touches of the owners. The bed was incredibly comfortable, I’m sad to say goodbye to that mattress. The owners put out a large spread of free snacks, fruit, yogurts, noodles, boiled eggs, teas and coffees which they top up everyday! They even gave me a (FREE) bicycle that I was welcome to use for my whole stay, which really opened up Mt Fuji. And to make it even more special I was left a gift to say thank you for coming and even a birthday gift. Which honestly brought me to tears, I only mentioned in passing this was my 30th trip. To end the longest review I have left. Stay here, I know a day trip is attractive, but then you don’t get to experience the sleepy quiet Mt Fuji nor the hospitality of Hana-San and Satoshi-San.

Hana-san is the most friendly, helpful and kind host! She even gave us a little memoir of our stay there which is the most heartwarming thing ever! The rooms are very clean, comfortable and super spacious. We had a traditional Japanese style room, and it could have easily fit one more person. The value for money is just superb. On top of that a small free breakfast buffet and free parking spots are offered as well, so truly nothing to complain about! We are so glad to have met Hana-san and stayed at this beautiful place.

Not a single thing to complain about!

I must say, this is by far the BEST hostel I stayed at during my 2024 visit to Japan. Not only is the price affordable, but the hostel truly feels like a home away from home. They thoughtfully prepare snacks, eggs, and even yogurt in the chiller for guests, along with ready hot water. They go the extra mile by providing heat pack and earplugs, as the walls are a bit thin and some outside noise may carry. However, for me, noise wasn’t an issue at all. The rooms & living room are beautifully decorated—so sweet and cozy. They allowed us to store our luggage in the living room after check-out, which was a huge help. When they noticed we were carrying a lot, they even gave us an extra bag ♥️♥️♥️♥️. Their kindness and attention to detail are remarkable. The hosts also provide maps and recommendations for nearby attractions, making it easy to plan your visit. They even surprised us with a thoughtful gesture, which I’ll keep as a secret for you to discover.🤭🤭 Their home is immaculately clean, and although the washroom is shared, the cleanliness made it a non-issue. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone planning to visit Fuji. It’s located less than a 3-minute walk from Fuji Station (both train and bus), making it extremely convenient and easy to find. This place is not just worth the money—it’s an experience of genuine warmth and hospitality that makes your stay truly unforgettable.

Hana san & Satoshi san are the most amazing hostel hosts! They are such kind people and truely look after you to make sure you feel at ease. We were given loads of snacks each day, and even a really thoughtful gift as we left. The hostel was really clean, there were two toilets and two showers so we never encountered any issue with having to wait to use either. Thank you so much ❤️

Our room had a slight damp smell, but I think this is difficult to solve when it’s cold. Overall it didn’t bother us too much :)

Everything was great, especially the staff. They were kind, welcoming, informative and helpful. If you are in town for Fuji, this is the best place to stay near Fuji Station. They gave us all the information we needed for Mt. Fuji. They were also kind enough to let us leave any extra items in a bag that we didn't need for our mt. fuji hike. We were able to come back 2 days later to pick it up and the owner offered us the shower room if we needed. To top it all off this place is not even a minute walk from Fuji station. The owners were so kind and helpful. This was by far my favorite place to stay while in Japan.

There was nothing I didn't like.

Potentially the best hostel we’ve ever visited. Great location by the train station. Comfortable rooms and good kitchen/living facilities. Best of all by far is the couple who run the hostel though. Couldn’t have been more helpful at recommending what to do during our stay in Fujiyoshida. Very friendly to chat to and are genuinely interested in what your plans are. They even gave us a little souvenir upon leaving to thank us for staying. We were also provided with free use of some bikes which were a great way to explore the town. For anyone who likes Studio Ghibli there’s also plenty of pictures and memorabilia to find around the hostel.

Thank you again Hana-san and her family! The personnel is formidable, really welcoming and helpful! The rooms are clean and calm, and there is everything you need when travelling. It's near the train station and the city center, so you can easily access the facilities (Fuji-Q, Temples, Bus for Mt. Fuji, ...). There are snacks and breakfast, all the equipment you need. We had a wonderful experience. We really recommend this place.

The location is great, just across the Fujisan Station. Thee give snacks for free! (bread, creakers, instan noodle, fruits, coffee tea etc) The room was clean and big enough for 2 person. Hana-san was helpful, friendly, and thoughtful. She give us recomendation where to go, and give us the map and direction. And she also give us some souvenir for keepsake. While waiting for my night bus, I can take my time at the hostel and getting ready. Overall it was a very pleasant stay during our trip in Fuji
